Solution Considerations before development

Before you build an application, you should have some thought and break down what you want to do before building. This process is often called "Solution Architecting". While we will not be taking a lot of time doing this, I would like to introduce you to the basics of it.

In our session case we will look at:

Business Rules

1. The sales representative captures sales details from customer. Upon making a sale, the representative selects the customer’s requested product from a list of products and proceeds to capture the Customer Name and Emailto send/generate an invoice for the customer.
2. On App start, the details of the signed in Sales Representative are captured and store locally.
   1. OnStart property - Set(varSalesRep, User())
   2. On the gallery/list of products, the sales rep presses a button to generate an invoice for the customer.
   3. OnSelect property of Button – Set(varSelectedProd, ThisItem)
3. On the edit screen, the sales rep only captures the Customer Email and Name
