What I want to know is for example what is better, to create substacks for each part of the system (like a substack to fiddle with the Students, another to fiddle with Professors) or if I just go creating cards under mainstack. I'd like to know theory, like when to create substacks, how to use Revolution true power, things i could not do with another tool. It's just that I think I am doing things the hard way (not that is hard to do, but it might there be a easier way).Basically, I decide this matter based on two questions:
1. Do I want the different displays to be different sizes or shown in different windows (with more than one window open at a time)?
2. Do I want to save the data in the stacks?
If the answer to either of these questions is Yes, then you will need sub-stacks. Otherwise, you can go with whatever is most comfortable for you.
Some points to consider:
upgrading the software - sub-stacks can be upgraded independently with small downloads.
cross-platform distribution - if you have a mainStack that holds the platform specific engine, the sub-stacks (if saved separately) are platform-independent.
workflow - do you want to steer your users so they can't do things out of sequence, or does it matter if they are editing three different records at the same time?
There is no "right" way - you just have to go with what you feel is right for you and your users.
