The First MetaModel

Building the first MetaModel is intended to provide an easy introduction to the implementation. The task for the first project is a simple employee list with only a few content fields. The list should be maintainable in the backend and can be displayed as a table in the frontend. Some aspects such as sorting, filtering, etc. have been intentionally omitted.

The implementation is based on the Components of a MetaModel — more notes on the templates used and possible relations can also be found there. If you are unsure about the best way to start, take a look at the article on the workflow.

For an easier overview of where to find what, the "MM site map" is available for download.
