SMART 1.0 (desktop core)

SMART is Smith Douglas’s flagship enterprise system. It’s the original .NET Framework / WinForms app first built in 2007 and has been continuously improved since. Almost everything any other app does eventually flows through here.

What SMART contains

The app is broken into modules that map to organizational functions:

Module	What you do here
Sales	Contacts, traffic, quotes, contracts, deposits, commissions, selections.
Production	Lot inquiry, schedules, delays, slot scheduling, builder assignment.
Project Management	Standard plans, vendor bids, cost books, PO management, variance entry.
Accounting	Closings, deposits, transmissions to BC, lot adjustments, proforma.
Product Development	Plans, options, std-plan release management.
Administration	Companies, divisions, areas, communities, projects, users, permissions. Standalone desktop Administration is not in the current `Release2022` build — use SMART 2.0 Administration for most org and security setup.

Service requests and warranty triage are handled in SMART 2.0 (service/). The desktop Service module is deprecated for daily use; Service2021 remains in the repo and is still published by Release2022.cmd until IT removes it from installs.

How to build / release

The Release scripts are in the root: Release.cmd, Release2019.cmd, Release2022.cmd. The most current is Release2022.cmd — it produces ClickOnce-style payloads pushed to the deployment share.

Release2022.cmd ClickOnce modules: ProductDevelopment, Production, ProjectManagement, Sales, Accounting, Service, SmartWebServices. There is no standalone Administration2021 project in src2021/client/.

The release process is documented in Documentation/Build Instructions - Detailed.docx and Documentation/Build Release Checklist.doc.
