Generally, an application provider can use their understanding of the general problem domain to design an application that covers the majority of the functionality that is required by application users, e.g., the types and quantities of data that are required by an application and which are typically gathered and stored. By configuring the application with flexible data structures which can be mapped to a variety of different types of data by the application user, the application can be customized by the application user to meet his or her specific needs. When the application user wants to expand the data set that is stored by the application beyond what the application provider has provided, they can make use of a management interface to add mappings for custom attributes to the flexible data structures. The application users are not required to write any additional code or modify the application directly.
