Chronicles Master Files

Master files ("INI" databases) store data about one type of thing. These files can be dynamic (used for storing new patient and operational data) or static (used for specifications and properties with controlled means of data addition and editing). Master files contain Records (individual entry) which have Items (one or more fields or properties or attributes) with Values.
