+== GetAction
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+The `*GetAction*` is essentially a subset of the <<QueryAction>>, only specifically meant to get just a single record from a {link-table}.
+In SQL/RDBMS terms, it is analogous to a `SELECT` statement, where a single record may be found - or - it may not be found.
+
+For all tables, `GetAction` can do a lookup by primary key.
+In addition, for tables that define a `UniqueKey`, name/value pairs (in the form of a `Map`) can be used as input for `GetAction`.
+
+=== Examples
+[source,java]
+.Basic form - by primary key
+----
+GetInput input = new GetInput();
+input.setTableName("orders");
+input.setPrimaryKey(1);
+GetOutput output = new GetAction.execute(input);
+QRecord record = output.getRecord();
+----
+
+[source,java]
+.Secondary form - by Unique Key
+----
+GetInput input = new GetInput();
+input.setTableName("products");
+input.setUniqueKey(Map.of("storeId", 1701, "sku", "ABCD"));
+GetOutput output = new GetAction.execute(input);
+QRecord record = output.getRecord();
+----
+
+=== GetInput
+* `table` - *String, Required* - Name of the table being queried against.
+* `primaryKey` - *Serializable, Conditional* - Value for the primary key field of the table being queried.
+Type should match the table's primary key field's type.
+If a `primaryKey` is not given, then a `uniqueKey` must be given.
+* `uniqueKey` - *Map of String -> Serializable, Conditional* - Map of name-value pairs that define the record to be fetcheed.
+Keys in the map must be field names from the table being queried.
+Values in the map should should be of types that correspond to the fields.
+If a `primaryKey` is not given, then a `uniqueKey` must be given.
+If both `primaryKey` and `uniqueKey` are given, then `uniqueKey` is ignored.
+* `transaction` - *QBackendTransaction object* - Optional transaction object.
+** Behavior for this object is backend-dependant.
+In an RDBMS backend, this object is generally needed if you want your query to see data that may have been modified within the same transaction.
+
+* `shouldTranslatePossibleValues` - *boolean, default: false* - Controls whether any fields in the table with a *possibleValueSource* assigned to them should have those possible values looked up
+(e.g., to provide text translations in the generated records' `displayValues` map).
+** For example, if getting a record to present to a user, this would generally need to be *true*.
+But if getting a record as part of a process, then this can generally be left as *false*.
+* `shouldGenerateDisplayValues` - *boolean, default: false* - Controls whether field level *displayFormats* should be used to populate the generated records' `displayValues` map.
+** For example, if getting a record to present to a user, this would generally need to be *true*.
+But if getting a record as part of a process, then this can generally be left as *false*.
+* `shouldFetchHeavyFields` - *boolean, default: true* - Controls whether or not fields marked as `isHeavy` should be fetched & returned or not.
+* `shouldOmitHiddenFields` - *boolean, default: true* - Controls whether or not fields marked as `isHidden` should be included in the result or not.
+* `shouldMaskPassword` - *boolean, default: true* - Controls whether or not fields with `type` = `PASSWORD` should be masked, or if their actual values should be returned.
+* `queryJoins` - *List of <<QueryJoin>> objects* - Optional list of tables to be joined with the main table being queried.
+See QueryJoin under <<QueryAction>> for further details.
+* `includeAssociations` - *boolean, default: false* - Control whether or not records from tables defined as `associations` under the table being queried should be included in the result or not.
+* `associationNamesToInclude` - *Collection of String* - If `includeAssociations` is true, then this field can be used to limit which associated tables are included.
+If this field is null, then all associated tables are included.
+Otherwise, a table is only included if its name is in this collection.
+
+=== GetOutput
+* `record` - *QRecord* - The record that was specified by the input `primaryKey` or `uniqueKey`.
+Will be null if the record was not found.

+== InsertAction
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+To insert (add, create) new records into any {link-table}, the `*InsertAction*` is used.
+In SQL/RDBMS terms, it is analogous to a `INSERT` statement, where one or more records can be provided as input.
+
+=== Examples
+[source,java]
+.Canonical InsertAction invocation
+----
+InsertInput insertInput = new InsertInput();
+insertInput.setTableName("person");
+insertInput.setRecords(personRecordList);
+InsertOutput insertOutput = new InsertAction().execute(insertInput);
+List<QRecord> insertedPersonRecords = insertOutput.getRecords();
+----
+
+=== Details
+`InsertAction` does several things beyond just inserting records into the specified table.
+A high-level flow of its internal logic is:
+
+. For tables using an automation status field, set its value to `PENDING_INSERT_AUTOMATIONS` for all `records` that are going to be inserted.
+. Perform the following validations, which include running the table's `PRE_INSERT_CUSTOMIZER`, if one is defined, at the time that is specified by the customizer's `WhenToRun` property (default is `AFTER_ALL_VALIDATIONS`):
+.. Ensure that default values specified in the table's fields are present if needed.
+.. Apply per-field behaviors, as defined in {link-field} meta-data, such as truncating strings that are longer than their specified max.
+.. Check for unique key violations (done here instead of in the backend, to provide better error messaging, and to allow a subset of records to be stored while some fail).
+_We might want to make an input control in the future to specify that either the full input set should succeed or fail..._
+.. Validate that required fields (again, per {link-field} meta-data) are set, generating per-record errors if they are not.
+.. Validate any security fields in the records - e.g., ensure that the user has permission to insert records with the values they are attempting to insert.
+. Send the records to the table's backend module to actually insert them into the backend storage.
+. If the table has any associations defined, and if associated records are present, then recursively run `InsertAction` on the associated records.
+.. In particular, before these recursive `InsertAction` calls are made, values that were generated by the original insert may need to be propagated down into the associated records.
+*** For example, if inserting `order` and `lineItem` records, where a {link-join} exists between the two tables on `order.id` and `lineItem.orderId`, and `order.id` values were generated in the first `InsertAction`, then those values are propagated down into the associated `lineItem.orderId` fields.
+. If the {link-instance} has an `audit` table, then based on the {link-table}'s audit rules, audits about the inserted records are created.
+. If the table has a `POST_INSERT_CUSTOMIZER`, it is executed.
+
+=== Overloads
+
+`InsertAction` can be called in a few alternate forms, mostly just for convenience:
+
+[source,java]
+.If inserting a single record, get that record back instead of the InsertOutput:
+----
+InsertInput insertInput = new InsertInput();
+insertInput.setTableName("person");
+insertInput.setRecords(List.of(personRecord));
+QRecord insertedRecord = new InsertAction().executeForRecord(insertInput);
+
+// or more compactly, using InsertInput.withRecord (instead of withRecords)
+QRecord insertedRecord = new InsertAction()
+   .executeForRecord(new InsertInput("person").withRecord(personRecord));
+----
+
+[source,java]
+.Taking QRecordEntity objects as inputs instead of QRecords:
+----
+// insert a list of person entities:
+InsertInput insertInput = new InsertInput("person").withRecordEntities(personList);
+InsertOutput insertOutput = new InsertAction().execute(insertInput);
+
+// or for a single person entity (also mapping the output record back to an entity):
+Person insertedPerson = new Person(new InsertAction()
+   .executeForRecord(new InsertInput("person").withRecordEntity(person)));
+
+----
+
+=== InsertInput
+* `table` - *String, Required* - Name of the table that records are to be inserted into.
+* `records` - *List of QRecord, Required* - List of records to be inserted into the table.
+If the list is empty, the insert action does a `noop`.
+
+.Less common options
+* `inputSource` - *InputSource object, default: QInputSource.SYSTEM* - an indicator of what the source of the action is - generally, a `SYSTEM` triggered action, or a `USER` triggered action.
+** `InsertAction` will call the `shouldValidateRequiredFields()` method on this object to determine if it should validate that required fields on the records have values.
+Both `QInputSource.SYSTEM` and `QInputSource.USER` return `true` from this method, but application can define their own `InputSource` objects with different behavior.
+** In addition, this field can be used in pre- and post-insert customizers to drive further custom logic.
+* `skipUniqueKeyCheck` - *boolean, default: false* - control whether or not `InsertAction` should check for unique key violations before attempting to insert its records.
+** In a context where one has previously done this validation, or is okay letting the backend provide such checks, they may wish to avoid re-doing this work, and thus may set this property to `true`.
+* `omitDmlAudit` - *boolean, default: false* - control if the automatic DML audit that `InsertAction` generally performs should be omitted.
+* `auditContext` - *String* - optional message which can be included in DML audit messages, to give users more context about why the insert occurred.
+
+
+=== InsertOutput
+* `records` - *List of QRecord* - Copy of the input list of records, with details added based on the results of the input action.
+** If there were warnings or errors, the corresponding field (`warnings` or `errors`) will be set in the records.
+** If the insert action generated any values (such as a serial id or a default value), those values will be in the record's `fields` map.

+
+An application in QQQ is defined as a set of Meta Data objects.  These objects are all stored together in an object called a `*QInstance*`.

+Currently, a `QInstance` must be programmatically constructed in java code - e.g., by constructing objects which get added to the QInstance, for example:

+[source,java]
+.Adding meta-data for two tables and one process to a QInstance

+----
+
+It is on the QQQ roadmap to allow meta-data to be defined in a non-programmatic way, for example, in YAML or JSON files, or even from a dynamic data source (e.g. a document or relational database).
+
+The middleware and/or frontends being used in an application will drive how the `QInstance` is connected to the running server/process.
+For example, using the `qqq-middleware-javalin` module, a the `QJavalinImplementation` class () has a constructor which takes a `QInstance` as an argument:

 == Security Key Types
 include::../variables.adoc[]
 
-#TODO#
+In QQQ, record-level security is provided by using a lock & key metaphor.
+
+The use-case being handled here is:
+
+* A user has full permission on a table (query, insert, update, and delete).
+* However, they should only be allowed to read a sub-set of the rows in the table.
+** e.g., maybe it's a multi-tenant system, or the table has user-specific records.
+
+The lock & key metaphor is realized by the user being associated with one or more "Keys"
+(as values in their session), and records in tables being associated with one or more "Locks"
+(as values in fields).
+A user is only allowed to access records where the user's key(s) match the record's security lock(s).
+
+For a practical example, picture a multi-tenant Order Management System,where all orders are assigned to a "client".
+Users (customers) should only be able to see orders associated with the client which that user works for.
+
+In this scenario, the `order` table would have a "lock" on its `clientId` field.
+Customer-users would have a `clientId` key in their session.
+When the QQQ backend did a search for records (e.g., an SQL query) it would implicitly
+(without any code being written by the application developer) filter the table to only
+allow the user to see records with their `clientId`.
+
+To implement this scenario, the application would define the following pieces of meta-data:
+
+* At the QQQ-Instance level, a `SecurityKeyType`,
+to define a domain of possible locks & keys within an application.
+** An application can define multiple Security Key Types.
+For example, maybe `clientId` and `userId` as key types.
+* At the per-table level, a `RecordSecurityLock`,
+which references a security key type, and how that key type should be applied to the table.
+** For example, what field stores the `clientId` value in the `order` table.
+* Finally, when a user's session is constructed via a QQQ Authentication provider,
+security key values are set, based on data from the authentication backend.
+
+=== Additional Scenarios
+
+==== All Access Key
+A "super-user" may be allowed to access all records in a table regardless of their record locks,
+if the Security Key Type specifies an `allAccessKeyName`,
+and if the user has a key in their session with that key name, and a value of `true`.
+Going back to the lock & key metaphor, this can be thought of as a "skeleton key",
+that can unlock any record lock (of the security key's type).
+
+==== Null Value Behaviors
+In a record security lock, different behaviors can be defined for handling rows with a null key value.
+
+For example:
+
+* Sometimes orders may be loaded into the OMS system described above, where the application doesn't yet know what client the order belongs to.
+In this case, the application may need to ensure that such records, with a `null` value in `clientId` are hidden from customer-users,
+to avoid potentially leaking a different client's data.
+** This can be accomplished with a record security lock on the `order` table, with a `nullValueBehavior` of `DENY`.
+** Furthermore, if internal/admin users _should_ be given access to such records, then the security key type can be
+configured with a `nullValueBehaviorKeyName` (e.g., `"clientIdNullValueBehavior"`), which can be set per-user to allow
+access to records, overriding the table lock's specified `nullValueBehavior`.
+*** This could also be done by giving internal/admin users an `allAccessKey`, but sometimes that is not what is required.
+
+* Maybe a warehouse locations table is assigned a `clientId` once inventory for a client is placed in the location,
+at which point in time, only the client's users should be allowed to see the record.
+But, if no client has been assigned to the location, and `clientId` is `null`,
+then you may want to allow any user to see such records.
+** This can be accomplished with a record security lock on the Warehouse Locations table, with a `nullValueBehavior` of `ALLOW`.

+==== QQQ Frontend Material Dashboard
+When running a QQQ application with the QQQ Frontend Material Dashboard module (QFMD),

+
+===== Default Quick Filter Field Names
+QFMD's table query has a "Basic" mode, which will always display a subset of the table's fields as quick-access filters.
+By default, the "Tier 1" fields on a table (e.g., fields in a Section that is marked as T1) will be used for this purpose.
+
+However, you can customize which fields are shown as the default quick-filter fields, by providing a list of field names in a
+`MaterialDashboardTableMetaData` object, placed in the table's `supplementalMetaData`.
+

+QFMD has a feature where a table's query screen can include a "Go To" button,
+which a user can hit to open a modal popup, into which the user can enter a record's identifier,
+to be brought directly to the record matching that identifier.
+
+To use this feature, the table must have a List of `GotoFieldNames` set in its
+`MaterialDashboardTableMetaData` object in the table's `supplementalMetaData`.
+
+Each entry in this list is actually a list of fields, e.g., to account for a multi-value unique-key.

+    .withGotoFieldNames(List.of(

+== Process Backend Steps
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+In many QQQ applications, much of the code that engineers write will take the form of Backend Steps for {link-processes}.
+Such code is defined in classes which implement the interface `BackendStep`.  
+This interface defines only a single method:
+[source,java]
+.BackendStep.java
+----
+public interface BackendStep
+{
+   /*******************************************************************************
+    ** Execute the backend step - using the request as input, and the result as output.
+    **
+    *******************************************************************************/
+   void run(RunBackendStepInput runBackendStepInput, RunBackendStepOutput runBackendStepOutput) throws QException;
+}
+
+----
+
+Process backend steps have access to state information - specifically, a list of records, and a map of name=value pairs - in the input & output objects.
+This state data is persisted by QQQ between steps (e.g., if a frontend step is presented to a user between backend steps).
+
+
+=== RunBackendStepInput
+All input data to the step is available in the `RunBackendStepInput` object.
+Key methods in this class are:
+
+* `getRecords()` - Returns the List of <<QRecords>> that are currently being acted on in the process.
+* `getValues()` - Returns a Map of String -> Serializable; name=value pairs that are the state-data of the process.
+** Values can be added to this state from a process's meta-data, from a screen, or from another backend step.
+* `getValue(String fieldName)` - Returns a specific value, by name, from the process's state.
+** This method has several variations that return the value as a specific type, such as `getValueString`, `getValueInteger`, `getValueBoolean`...
+* `getAsyncJobCallback()` - Accessor for an `AsyncJobCallback` object, which provides a way for the process backend step to communicate about its status or progress with a user running the process in a frontend.
+Provides methods:
+** `updateStatus(String message)` - Where general status messages can be given.
+For example, `"Loading census data"`
+** `updateStatus(int current, int total)` - For updating a progress meter.
+e.g., "47 of 1701" would be display by calling `.updateStatus(47, 1701)`
+* `getFrontendStepBehavior()` - Enum, indicating what should happen when a frontend step is encountered as the process's next step to run.
+Possible values are:
+** `BREAK` - Indicates that the process's execution should be suspended, so that the screen represented by the frontend step can be presented to a user.
+This would be the expected behavior if a process is being run by a user from a UI.
+** `SKIP` - Indicates that frontend steps should be skipped.
+This would be the expected behavior if a process is running from a scheduled job (without a user present to drive it), for example.
+** `FAIL` - Indicates that the process should end with an exception if a frontend step is encountered.
+** A backend step may want to act differently based on its frontendStepBehavior.
+For example, additional data may be looked up for displaying to a user if the behavior is `BREAK`.
+* `getBasepullLastRunTime()` - For <<BasepullConfiguration,Basepull>> processes, this is the `Instant` stored in the basepull table as the process's last run time.
+
+=== RunBackendStepOutput
+All output from a process step should be placed in its `RunBackendStepOutput` object (and/or stored to a backend, as appropriate).
+Key methods in this class are:
+
+* `addValue(String fieldName, Serializable value)` - Adds a single named value to the process's state, overwriting it the value if it already exists.
+* `addRecord(QRecord record)` - Add a `<<QRecord>>` to the process's output.
+* `addAuditSingleInput(AuditSingleInput auditSingleInput)` - Add a new entry to the process's list of audit inputs, to be stored at the completion of the process.
+** An `AuditSingleInput` object can most easily be built with the constructor: `AuditSingleInput(String tableName, QRecord record, String auditMessage)`.
+** Additional audit details messages (sub-bullets that accompany the primary `auditMessage`) can be added to an `AuditSingleInput` via the `addDetail(String message)` method.
+** _Note that at this time, the automatic storing of these audits is only provided by the execute step of a StreamedETLWithFrontendProcesses._
+
+=== Example
+
+[source,java]
+.Example of a BackendStep
+----
+/*******************************************************************************
+ ** For the "person" table's "Add Age" process -
+ ** For each input person record, add the specified yearsToAdd to their age.
+ *******************************************************************************/
+public class AddAge implements BackendStep
+{
+   /*******************************************************************************
+    **
+    *******************************************************************************/
+   @Override
+   public void run(RunBackendStepInput runBackendStepInput, RunBackendStepOutput runBackendStepOutput)
+   {
+      /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+      // get the yearsToAdd input field value from the process input //
+      /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+      Integer yearsToAdd = runBackendStepInput.getValueInteger("yearsToAdd");
+      int totalYearsAdded = 0;
+
+      ///////////////////////////////////////////////////
+      // loop over the records passed into the process //
+      ///////////////////////////////////////////////////
+      for(QRecord record : runBackendStepInput.getRecords())
+      {
+         Integer age = record.getValueInteger("age");
+         age += yearsToAdd;
+         totalYearsAdded += yearsToAdd;
+
+         ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+         // update the record with the new "age" value.                                            //
+         // note that this update record object will implicitly be available to the process's next //
+         // backend step, via the sharing of the processState object.                              //
+         ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
+         record.setValue("age", age);
+      }
+
+      /////////////////////////////////////////
+      // set an output value for the process //
+      /////////////////////////////////////////
+      runBackendStepOutput.addValue("totalYearsAdded", totalYearsAdded);
+   }

+
+=== Backend Steps for StreamedETLWithFrontendProcesses
+
+For <<StreamedETLWithFrontendProcess>> type processes, backend steps are defined a little bit differently than they are for other process types.
+In this type of process, the process meta-data defines 3 backend steps which are built-in to QQQ, and which do not have any custom application logic.
+These steps are:
+
+* `StreamedETLPreviewStep`
+* `StreamedETLValidateStep`
+* `StreamedETLExecuteStep`
+
+For custom application logic to be implemented in a StreamedETLWithFrontendProcesses, an application engineer must define (up to) 3 backend step classes which are loaded by the steps listed above.
+These application-defined steps must extend specific classes (which themselves implement the `BackendStep` interface), to provide the needed logic of this style of process.
+These steps are:
+
+* *Extract* - a subclass of `AbstractExtractStep` - is responsible for Extracting records from the source table.
+** For this step, we can often use the QQQ-provided class `ExtractViaQueryStep`, or sometimes a subclass of it.
+** The Extract step is called before the Preview, Validate, and Result screens, though for the Preview screen, it is set to only extract a small number of records (10).
+* *Transform* - a subclass of `AbstractTransformStep` - is responsible for applying the majority of the business logic of the process.
+In ETL terminology, this is the "Transform" action - which means applying some type of logical transformation an input record (found by the Extract step) to generate an output record (stored by the Load step).
+** A Transform step's `run` method will be called, potentially, multiple times, each time with a page of records in the `runBackendStepInput` parameter.
+** This method is responsible for adding records to the `runBackendStepOutput`, which will then be passed to the *Load* step.
+** This class is also responsible for implementing the method `getProcessSummary`, which provides the data to the *Validate* screen.
+** The run method will generally update ProcessSummaryLine objects to facilitate this functionality.
+** The Transform step is called before the Preview, Validate, and Result screens, consuming all records selected by the Extract step.
+* *Load* - a subclass of `AbstractLoadStep` - is responsible for the Load function of the ETL job.
+_A quick word on terminology - this step is actually doing what we are more likely to think of as storing data - which feels like the opposite of “loading” - but we use the name Load to keep in line with the ETL naming convention…_
+** The Load step is ONLY called before the Result screen is presented (possibly after Preview, if the user chose to skip validation, otherwise, after validation).
+** Similar to the Transform step, the Load step's `run` method will be called potentially multiple times, with pages of records in its input.
+** As such, the Load step is generally the only step where data writes should occur.
+*** e.g., a Transform step should not do any writes, as it will be called when the user is going to the Preview & Validate screens - e.g., before the user confirmed that they want to execute the action!
+** A common pattern is that the Load step just needs to insert or update the list of records output by the Transform step, in which case the QQQ-provided `LoadViaInsertStep` or `LoadViaUpdateStep` can be used, but custom use-cases can be built as well.
+
+Another distinction between StreamedELTWithFrontendProcess steps and general QQQ process backend steps, is that the list of records in the input & output objects is NOT shared for StreamedELTWithFrontendProcess steps.
+The direct implication of this is, that a Transform step MUST explicitly call `output.addRecord()` for any records that it wants to pass along to the Load step.
+

+== QContext
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+The class `QContext` contains a collection of thread-local variables, to define the current context of the QQQ code that is currently running.
+For example, what `QInstance` (meta-data container) is being used, what `QSession` (user attributes) is active, etc.
+
+Most of the time, main-line application code does not need to worry about setting up the `QContext` - although unit-test code can is a common exception to that rule.
+This is because all of QQQ's entry-points into execution (e.g., web context handlers, CLI startup methods, schedulers, and multi-threaded executors) take care of initializing the context.
+
+It is more common though, for application code to need to get data from the context, such as the current session or any piece of meta-data from the QInstance.
+The methods to access data from the `QContext` are fairly straightforward:
+
+=== Examples
+==== Get a QTableMetaData from the active QInstance
+[source,java]
+----
+QTableMeataData myTable = QContext.getQInstance().getTable("myTable");
+for(QFieldMeataData field : myTable.getFields().values())
+{
+   // ...
+}
+----
+
+==== Get a security key value for the current user session

+----
+QSession           session   = QContext.getQSession();
+List<Serializable> clientIds = session.getSecurityKeyValues("clientId");

+
+While `<<QRecords>>` provide a flexible mechanism for passing around record data in a QQQ Application, they have one big disadvantage from the point-of-view of a Java Application:
+They do not provide a mechanism to ensure compile-time checks of field names or field types.
+
+As such, an alternative mechanism exists, which allows records in a QQQ application to be worked with following a more familiar Java Bean (Entity Bean) like pattern.
+This mechanism is known as a `QRecordEntity`.
+
+Specifically speaking, `QRecordEntity` is an abstract base class, whose purpose is to be the base class for entity-bean classes.
+Using reflection, `QRecordEntity` is able to convert objects back and forth from `QRecord` to specific entity-bean subtypes.
+
+For example, the method `QRecordEntity::toQRecord()` converts a record entity object into a `QRecord`.
+
+Inversely, `QRecordEntity::populateFromQRecord(QRecord record)` sets fields in a record entity object, based on the values in the supplied `QRecord`.
+It is conventional for a subclass of `QRecordEntity` to have both a no-arg (default) constructor, and a constructor that takes a `QRecord` as a parameter, and calls `populateFromQRecord`.
+
+In addition to these constructors, a `QRecordEntity` subclass will generally contain:
+
+* A `public static final String TABLE_NAME`, used throughout the application as a constant reference to the name for the {link-table}.
+* A series of `private` fields, corresponding to the fields in the table that the entity represents.
+** If these fields are annotated as `@QField()`, then the {link-table} meta-data for the table that the entity represents can in part be inferred by QQQ, by using the method `QTableMetaData::withFieldsFromEntity`.
+* `getX()`, `setX()`, and `withX()` methods for all of the entity's fields.
+
+=== Examples
+[source,java]
+.Example Definition of a QRecordEntity subclass:  Person.java
+----
+/*******************************************************************************
+ ** QRecordEntity for the person table.
+ *******************************************************************************/
+public class Person extends QRecordEntity
+{
+   public static final String TABLE_NAME = "person";

+
+   @QField()
+   private String firstName;
+
+   @QField()
+   private String lastName;
+
+   @QField()

+== QRecords
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+Almost all code inside a QQQ application will be dealing with *Records* (aka Tuples or Rows).
+That is: a collection of named values, representing a single Entity, Fact, or, Row from a {link-table}.
+
+The class that QQQ uses to work with records is called:  `QRecord`.
+
+=== Values
+At its core, a `QRecord` is a wrapper around a `Map<String, Serializable> values`.
+These are the *actual* values for the fields in the table for the record.
+That is, direct representations of the values as they are stored in the {link-backend}.
+
+The keys in the `values` map are names from the {link-fields} in the {link-table}.
+
+The values in `values` map are declared as `Serializable` (to help ensure the serializability of the `QRecord` as a whole).
+In practice, their types will be based on the `QFieldType` of the {link-field} that they correspond to.
+That will typically be one of: `String`, `Integer`, `Boolean`, `BigDecimal`, `Instant`, `LocalDate`, `LocalTime`, or `byte[]`.
+Be aware that `null` values may be in the `values` map, especially/per if the backend/table support `null`.
+
+To work with the `values` map, the following methods are provided:
+
+* `setValue(String fieldName, Serializable value)` - Sets a value for the specified field in the record.
+** Overloaded as `setValue(String fieldName, Object value)` - For some cases where the value may not be known to be `Serializable`.
+In this overload, if the value is `null` or `Serializable`, the primary version of `setValue` is called.
+Otherwise, the `value` is passed through `String::valueOf`, and the result is stored.
+** Overloaded as `setValue(QFieldMetaData field, Serializable value)` - which simply defers to the primary version of `setValue`, passing `field.getName()` as the first parameter.
+* `removeValue(String fieldName)` - Remove the given field from the `values` map.
+** Note that in some situations this is an important distinction from having a `null` value in the map (See <<UpdateAction)>>).
+* `setValues(Map<String, Serializable> values)` - Sets the full map of `values`.
+* `getValues()` - Returns the full map of `values`.
+* `getValue(String fieldName)` - Returns the value for the named field - possibly `null` - as a `Serializable`.
+* Several type-specific variations of `getValueX(String fieldName)`, where internally, values will be not exactly type-cast, but effectively converted (if possible) to the requested type.
+These conversions are done using the `ValueUtils.getValueAsX(Object)` methods.
+These methods are generally the preferred/cleanest way to get record values in application code, when it is needed in a type-specific way .
+** `getValueString(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueInteger(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueBoolean(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueBigDecimal(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueInstant(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueLocalDate(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueLocalTime(String fieldName)`
+** `getValueByteArray(String fieldName)`
+
+=== Display Values
+In addition to the `values` map, a `QRecord` contains another map called `displayValues`, which only stores `String` values.
+That is to say, values for other types are stringified, based on their {link-field}'s type and `displayFormat` property.
+In addition, fields which have a `possibleValueSource` property will have their translated values set in the `displayValues` map.
+
+By default, a `QRecord` will not have its `displayValues` populated.
+To populate `displayValues`, the <<QueryAction>> and <<GetAction>> classes take a property in their inputs called `shouldGenerateDisplayValues`, which must be set to `true` to generate `displayValues`.
+In addition, these two actions also have a property `shouldTranslatePossibleValues` in their inputs, which needs to be set to `true` if possible-value lookups are to be performed.
+
+As an alternative to the `shouldGenerateDisplayValues` and `shouldTranslatePossibleValues` inputs to <<QueryAction>> and <<GetAction>>, one can directly call the `QValueFormatter.setDisplayValuesInRecords` and/or `qPossibleValueTranslator.translatePossibleValuesInRecords` methods.
+Or, for special cases, `setDisplayValue(String fieldName, String displayValue)` or `setDisplayValues(Map<String, String> displayValues)` can be called directly.
+
+=== Backend Details
+Sometimes a backend may want to place additional data in a `QRecord` that doesn't exactly correspond to a field.
+To do this, the `Map<String, Serializable> backendDetails` member is used.
+
+For example, an API backend may store the full JSON `String` that came from the API as a backend detail in a `QRecord`.
+Or fields that are marked as `isHeavy`, if the full (heavy) value of the field hasn't been fetched, then the lengths of any such heavy fields may be stored in `backendDetails`.

+== Rendering Widgets
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+=== WidgetRenderer classes
+In general, to fully implement a Widget, you must define its `QWidgetMetaData`,
+and supply a subclass of `AbstractWidgetRenderer`, to provide the data to the widget.
+(Note the "No Code" category of widgets, which are an exception to this generalization).
+
+The only method required in a subclass of `AbstractWidgetRenderer` is:
+
+   public RenderWidgetOutput render(RenderWidgetInput input) throws QException
+
+The fields available in `RenderWidgetInput` are:
+
+- `Map<String, String> queryParams` - These are parameters supplied by the frontend, for example,
+if a user selected values from dropdowns to control a dimension of your widget, those name/value
+pairs would be in this map.  Similarly, if your widget is being included on a record view screen, then
+the record's primary key will be in this map.
+- `QWidgetMetaDataInterface widgetMetaData` - This is the meta-data for the widget being
+rendered.  This can be useful in case you are using the same renderer class for multiple widgets.
+
+The only field in `RenderWidgetOutput` is:
+
+- `QWidgetData widgetData` - This is a base class, with several attributes, and more importantly,
+several subclasses, specific to the type of widget that is being rendered.
+
+==== Widget-Type Specific Rendering Details
+Different widget types expect & require different types of values to be set in the `RenderWidgetOutput` by their renderers.
+
+===== Pie Chart
+The `WidgetType.PIE_CHART` requires an object of type `ChartData`.
+The fields on this type are:
+
+* `chartData` an instance of `ChartData.Data`, which has the following fields:
+** `labels` - *List<String>, required* - the labels for the slices of the pie.
+** `datasets` - *List<Dataset> required* - the data for each slice of the pie.
+For a Pie chart, only a single entry in this list is used
+(other chart types using `ChartData` may support more than 1 entry in this list).
+Fields in this object are:
+*** `label` - *String, required* - a label to describe the dataset as a whole.
+e.g., "Orders" for a pie showing orders of different statuses.
+*** `data` - *List<Number>, required* - the data points for each slice of the pie.
+*** `color` - *String* - HTML color for the slice
+*** `urls` - *List<String>* - Optional URLs for slices of the pie to link to when clicked.
+*** `backgroundColors` - *List<String>* - Optional HTML color codes for each slice of the pie.

+=== Block-type Specific Rendering Details
+For Composite-type widgets (or other widgets which can include blocks),
+there are specific data classes required to be returned by the widget renderer.
+
+Each block type defines a subclass of `AbstractBlockWidgetData`,
+which is a generic class with 3 type parameters:
+
+* `V` - an implementation of `BlockValuesInterface` - to define the type of values that the block uses.
+* `S` - an implementation of `BlockSlotsInterface` (expected to be an `enum`) - to define the "slots" in the block,
+that can have Tooltips and/or Links applied to them.
+* `SX` - an implementation of `BlockStylesInterface` - to define the types of style customizations that the block supports.
+
+These type parameters are designed to ensure type-safety for the application developer,
+to ensure that only

+=== Additional Tips
+
+* To make a Dashboard page (e.g., an App consisting of Widgets) with a parent widget use the parent widget's label as the page's label:
+** On the `QAppMetaData` that contains the Parent widget, call
+`.withSupplementalMetaData(new MaterialDashboardAppMetaData().withShowAppLabelOnHomeScreen(false))`.
+** In the Parent widget's renderer, on the `ParentWidgetData`, call `setLabel("My Label")` and
+`setIsLabelPageTitle(true)`.

+== RecordLookupHelper
+include::../variables.adoc[]
+
+`RecordLookupHelper` is a utility class that exists to help you... lookup records :)
+
+OK, I'll try to give a little more context:
+
+=== Motivation 1:  Performance
+One of the most significant performance optimizations that the team behind QQQ has found time and time again,
+is to minimize the number of times you have to perform an I/O operation.
+To just say it more plainly:
+Make fewer calls to your database (or other backend).
+
+This is part of why the DML actions in QQQ (InsertAction, UpdateAction, DeleteAction) are all written to work on multiple records:
+If you've got to insert 1,000 records, the performance difference between doing that as 1,000 SQL INSERT statements vs. just 1 statement cannot be overstated.
+
+Similarly then, for looking up records:
+If we can do 1 round-trip to the database backend - that is - 1 query to fetch _n_ records,
+then in almost all cases it will be significantly faster than doing _n_ queries, one-by-one, for those _n_ records.
+
+The primary reason why `RecordLookupHelper` exists is to help you cut down on the number of times you have to make a round-trip to a backend data store to fetch records within a process.
+
+[sidebar]
+This basically is version of caching, isn't it?
+Take a set of data from "far away" (e.g., database), and bring it "closer" (local or instance variables), for faster access.
+So we may describe this as a "cache" through the rest of this document.
+
+=== Motivation 2:  Convenience
+
+So, given that one wants to try to minimize the number of queries being executed to look up data in a QQQ processes,
+one can certainly do this "by-hand" in each process that they write.
+
+Doing this kind of record caching in a QQQ Process `BackendStep` may be done as:
+
+* Adding a `Map<Integer, QRecord>` as a field in your class.
+* Setting up and running a `QueryAction`, with a filter based on the collection of the keys you need to look up, then iterating over (or streaming) the results into the map field.
+* Getting values out of the map when you need to use them (dealing with missing values as needed).
+
+That's not so bad, but, it does get a little verbose, especially if you're going to have several such caches in your class.
+
+As such, the second reason that `RecordLookupHelper` exists, is to be a reusable and convenient way to do this kind of optimization,
+by providing methods to perform the bulk query & map building operation described above,
+while also providing some convenient methods for accessing such data after it's been fetched.
+In addition, a single instance of `RecordLookupHelper` can provide this service for multiple tables at once
+(e.g., so you don't need to add a field to your class for each type of data that you're trying to cache).
+
+=== Use Cases
+==== Preload records, then access them
+Scenario:
+
+* We're writing a process `BackendStep` that uses `shipment` records as input.
+* We need to know the `order` record associated with each `shipment` (via an `orderId` foreign key), for some business logic that isn't germaine to the explanation of `RecordLookupHelper`.
+* We also to access some field on the `shippingPartner` record assigned to each `shipment`.
+** Note that here, the `shipment` table has a `partnerCode` field, which relates to the `code` unique-key in the `shippingPartner` table.
+** It's also worth mentioning, we only have a handful of `shippingPartner` records in our database, and we never expect to have very many more than that.
+
+[source,java]
+.Example of a process step using a RecordLookupHelper to preload records
+----
+public class MyShipmentProcessStep implements BackendStep
+{
+   // Add a new RecordLookupHelper field, which will "cache" both orders and shippingPartners
+   private RecordLookupHelper recordLookupHelper = new RecordLookupHelper();
+
+   @Override
+   public void run(RunBackendStepInput input, RunBackendStepOutput output) throws QException;
+   {
+      // lookup the full shippingPartner table (because it's cheap & easy to do so)
+      // use the partner's "code" as the key field (e.g,. they key in the helper's internal map).
+      recordLookupHelper.preloadRecords("shippingPartner", "code");
+
+      // get all of the orderIds from the input shipments
+      List<Serializable> orderIds = input.getRecords().stream()
+         .map(r -> r.getValue("id")).toList();
+
+      // fetch the orders related to by these shipments
+      recordLookupHelper.preloadRecords("order", "id", orderIds);
+
+      for(QRecord shipment : input.getRecords())
+      {
+         // get someConfigField from the shippingPartner assigned to the shipment
+         Boolean someConfig = recordLookupHelper.getRecordValue("shippingPartner", "someConfigField", "code", shipment.getValue("partnerCode"));
+
+         // get the order record assigned to the shipment
+         QRecord order = recordLookupHelper.getRecordByKey("order", "id", shipment.getValue("orderId"));
+      }
+   }
+}
+----
+
+==== Lazy fetching records
+Scenario:
+
+* We have a `BackendStep` that is taking in `purchaseOrderHeader` records, from an API partner.
+* For each record, we need to make an API call to the partner to fetch the `purchaseOrderLine` records under that header.
+** In this contrived example, the partner's API forces us to do these lookups order-by-order...
+* Each `purchaseOrderLine` that we fetch will have a `sku` on it - a reference to our `item` table.
+** We need to look up each `item` to apply some business logic.
+** We assume there are very many item records in the backend database, so we don't want to pre-load the full table.
+Also, we don't know what `sku` values we will need until we fetch the `purchaseOrderLine`.
+
+This is a situation where we can use `RecordLookupHelper` to lazily fetch the `item` records as we discover them,
+and it will take care of not re-fetching ones that it has already loaded.
+
+[source,java]
+.Example of a process step using a RecordLookupHelper to lazy fetch records
+----
+public class MyPurchaseOrderProcessStep implements BackendStep
+{
+   // Add a new RecordLookupHelper field, which will "cache" lazy-loaded item records
+   private RecordLookupHelper recordLookupHelper = new RecordLookupHelper();
+
+   @Override
+   public void run(RunBackendStepInput input, RunBackendStepOutput output) throws QException;
+   {
+      for(QRecord poHeader : input.getRecords())
+      {
+         // fetch the lines under the header
+         Serializable poNo = poHeader.getValue("poNo");
+         List<QRecord> poLines = new QueryAction().execute(new QueryInput("purchaseOrderLine")
+            .withFilter(new QQueryFilter(new QFilterCriteria("poNo", EQUALS, poNo))));
+
+         for(QRecord poLine : poLines)
+         {
+            // use recordLookupHelper to lazy-load item records by SKU.
+            QRecord item = recordLookupHelper.getRecordByKey("item", "sku", poLine.getValue("sku"));
+
+            // business logic related to item performed here.
+         }
+      }
+   }
+}
+----

+In this example, we will be doing exactly 1 query on the `item` table for each unique `sku` that is found across all of the `poLine` records we process.
+That is to say, if the same `sku` appears on only 1 `poLine`, or if it appears on 100 `poLines`, we will still only query once for that `sku`.
+
+A slight tweak could be made to the example above, to make 1 `item` table lookup for each `poHeader` record:
+
+[source,java]
+.Tweaked example doing 1 item lookup per poLine
+----
+// continuing from above, after the List<QRecord> poLines has been built
+
+// get all of the skus from the lines
+List<Serializable> skus = poLines.stream().map(r -> r.getValue("sku")).toList();
+
+// preload the items for the skus
+recordLookupHelper.preloadRecords("item", "sku", new QQueryFilter(new QFilterCriteria("sku", IN, skus)));
+
+for(QRecord poLine : poLines)
+{
+   // get the items from the helper
+   QRecord item = recordLookupHelper.getRecordByKey("item", "sku", poLine.getValue("sku"));
+
+----
+
+In this example, we've made a trade-off:  We will query the `item` table exactly 1 time for each `poHeader` that we process.
+However, if the same `sku` is on every PO that we process, we will end up fetching it multiple times.
+
+This could end up being better or worse than the previous example, depending on the distribution of the data we are dealing with.
+
+A further tweak, a hybrid approach, could potentially reap the benefits of both of these examples (at the tradeoff of, more code, more complexity):
+
+[source,java]
+.Tweaked example doing 1 item lookup per poLine, but only for not-previously-encountered skus
+----
+// Critically - we must tell our recordLookupHelper to NOT do any one-off lookups in this table
+recordLookupHelper.setMayNotDoOneOffLookups("item", "sku");
+
+// continuing from above, after the List<QRecord> poLines has been built
+
+// get all of the skus from the lines
+List<Serializable> skus = poLines.stream().map(r -> r.getValue("sku")).toList();
+
+// determine which skus have not yet been loaded - e.g., they are not in the recordLookupHelper.
+// this is why we needed to tell it above not to do one-off lookups; else it would lazy-load each sku here.
+List<Serializable> skusToLoad = new ArrayList<>();
+for(Serializable sku : skus)
+{
+   if(recordLookupHelper.getRecordByKey("item", "sku", sku) == null)
+   {
+      skusToLoad.add(sku);
+   }
+}
+
+// preload the item records for any skus that are still needed
+if(!skusToLoad.isEmpty())
+{
+   recordLookupHelper.preloadRecords("item", "sku",
+      new QQueryFilter(new QFilterCriteria("sku", IN, skusToLoad)));
+}
+
+// continue as above
+
+----
+
+In this example, we will start by querying the `item` table once for each `poHeader`, but,
+if we eventually encounter a PO where all of its `skus` have already been loaded, then we may be able to avoid any `item` queries for such a PO.
+
+=== Implementation Details
+
+* Internally, an instance of `RecordLookupHelper` maintains a number of `Maps`,
+with QQQ table names and field names as keys.
+* The accessing/lazy-fetching methods (e.g., any method whose name starts with `getRecord`)
+all begin by looking in these internal maps for the `tableName` and `keyFieldName` that they take as parameters.
+** If they find an entry in the maps, then it is used for producing a return value.
+** If they do not find an entry, then they will perform the a `QueryAction`,
+to try to fetch the requested record from the table's backend.
+*** Unless the `setMayNotDoOneOffLookups` method has been called for the `(tableName, keyFieldName)` pair.
+
+=== Full API
+
+==== Methods for accessing and lazy-fetching
+* `getRecordByKey(String tableName, String keyFieldName, Serializable key)`
+
+Get a `QRecord` from `tableName`, where `keyFieldName` = `key`.
+
+* `getRecordValue(String tableName, String requestedField, String keyFieldName, Serializable key)`
+
+Get the field `requestedField` from the record in `tableName`, where `keyFieldName` = `key`, as a `Serializable`.
+If the record is not found, `null` is returned.
+
+* `getRecordValue(String tableName, String requestedField, String keyFieldName, Serializable key, Class<T> type)`
+
+Get the field `requestedField` from the record in `tableName`, where `keyFieldName` = `key`, as an instance of `type`.
+If the record is not found, `null` is returned.
+
+* `getRecordId(String tableName, String keyFieldName, Serializable key)`
+
+Get the primary key of the record in `tableName`, where `keyFieldName` = `key`, as a `Serializable`.
+If the record is not found, `null` is returned.
+
+* `getRecordId(String tableName, String keyFieldName, Serializable key, Class<T> type)`
+
+Get the primary key of the record in `tableName`, where `keyFieldName` = `key`, as an instance of `type`.
+If the record is not found, `null` is returned.
+
+* `getRecordByUniqueKey(String tableName, Map<String, Serializable> uniqueKey)`
+
+Get a `QRecord` from `tableName`, where the record matches the field/value pairs in `uniqueKey`.
+
+_Note: this method does not use the same internal map as the rest of the class.
+As such, it does not take advantage of any data fetched via the preload methods.
+It is only used for caching lazy-fetches._
+
+==== Methods for preloading
+* `preloadRecords(String tableName, String keyFieldName)`
+
+Query for all records from `tableName`, storing them in an internal map keyed by the field `keyFieldName`.
+
+* `preloadRecords(String tableName, String keyFieldName, QQueryFilter filter)`
+
+Query for records matching `filter` from `tableName`,
+storing them in an internal map keyed by the field `keyFieldName`.
+
+* `preloadRecords(String tableName, String keyFieldName, List<Serializable> inList)`
+
+Query for records with the field `keyFieldName` having a value in `inList` from `tableName`,
+storing them in an internal map keyed by the field `keyFieldName`.
+
+==== Config Methods
+* `setMayNotDoOneOffLookups(String tableName, String fieldName)`
+
+For cases where you know that you have preloaded records for `tableName`, keyed by `fieldName`,
+and you know that some of the keys may not have been found,
+so you want to avoid doing a query when a missed key is found in one of the `getRecord...` methods,
+then if you call this method, an internal flag is set, which will prevent any such one-off lookups.
+
+In other words, if this method has been called for a `(tableName, fieldName)` pair,
+then the `getRecord...` methods will only look in the internal map for records,
+and no queries will be performed to look for records.
