General recommendations

It is recommended to create following fields:

  • date field: for sorting items by date it is necessary to have a field, where date of creation/relevant date is stored
  • submitter field: for sorting items by submitter it is necessary to have a field, where user of creation is stored
  • field status: for using e.g. functions for broken items you need a 'Select Status'-field

It is recommended to use a table prefix plus singular words, e.g. 'cat_logo' for logo image of the category.
