Feature

To learn more about this concept of database & coding reflection, please visit developers.jframework.io.

A feature is a specific functionality or capability of a software product or service that delivers value to the end user. Features can range from basic functions like opening and saving files to more complex capabilities like collaboration tools, reporting and analytics, or integration with other software systems.

Feature Type Design

Each Feature associated with a Package has the following attributes:

• Type: Determines how the feature is measured or restricted.

  • Function: A binary feature that can either be enabled or disabled.

    • Value = 1: The feature is enabled.

    • Value = 0: The feature is disabled.

  • Limited: A feature that has a limited quantity or usage.

    • Value = n (≥ 0): The number of times the feature can be used.

  • Unlimited: A feature with no usage restrictions.

    • Value = -1: Indicates that the feature is unlimited.

Example Table:

Feature Name	Type	Value	Description
Device	Function	1	Access to devices enabled
Users	Limited	50	Maximum number of users allowed
Organization	Unlimited	-1	Unlimited access to organization features

---

How It Works:

• Function-type features are binary. They are either turned on (1) or off (0).

• Limited features have a specific numeric limit. The system tracks usage against this value.

• Unlimited features use -1 as a placeholder to indicate no limit, simplifying calculations in pricing tables and usage reports.
