• The database must use the ‘WorkPermit’ schema, and tables must follow predefined standards for column structures and record formats to align with application logic.

• Detailed table definitions and formats are available in the SQL Server Data Source Setup and Schema section.

It is essential to import the supportive Schema_Work Permit Management_S1 into your SQL database. Supportive files are provided along with the application package as deliverable items. Specific tables must conform to predefined standards for column structure and record formats to maintain consistency with application logic.
