    <p>You seem to be talking about scaffolding. Scaffolding is a way to display a very basic user interfaces (GUI) normally based on a database structure. Depending on the language, framework and implementation it may also provide basic Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD) actions on the GUI. </p> <p>It is <a href="http://www.railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=27384" rel="nofollow noreferrer">often</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6735468/why-do-ror-professionals-not-use-scaffolding">frowned</a> <a href="https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/75011/do-experienced-ruby-on-rails-developers-use-scaffolding">upon</a> for anything other than a very rapid prototype. In fact, 99% of the time you will save more time and be better off learning a framework and doing things "properly".</p> <p>Having said that, web frameworks seem to be the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold_(programming)#Scaffolding_in_Ruby_on_Rails" rel="nofollow noreferrer">kings of scaffolding</a>.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ruby-on-rails/rails-scaffolding.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ruby on Rails</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5406460/is-there-any-adequate-scaffolding-for-django-a-la-ruby-on-rails">Django</a></li> <li><a href="http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Developing-with-CakePHP/Scaffolding.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CakePHP</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/377538/quickest-way-to-get-scaffold-code-created-with-c-asp-net">C#/ASP.NET</a></li> </ul> <p>My advice would be to pick a well supported framework which favours <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_over_configuration" rel="nofollow noreferrer">convention over configuration</a> and follow through some tutorials.

    1. COCould you please clarify how Scaffold is related to UI (desktop/web). [Wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaffold_%28programming%29) is a bit confusing - it just talks about db and code, which make it similar to ORM, but I don't see where is autogenerated UI.

    3. COThank you. If scaffolding has that meaning, then it is "word" I was looking for. Though I am still confused why wiki does not mention GUI.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
