=Introduction= FLExTools is an application for running Python scripts against a Fieldworks database. All the UI and script management is provided. Simply create a small Python script (a ''Module'') to do the processing work and then run it from FLExTools. Modules can be grouped into ''Collections'' so that a whole set of scripts can be run with one button click.
FLExTools operates on lexical or textual data to do such things as:
- Consistency checks
- Report on missing data or duplicate data
- Create custom reports or export formats
- Perform custom analysis
- Update fields in ways that aren't convenient within FLEx
For an overview of what FLExTools can do, see the second half of [https://vimeo.com/131883964 this podcast] by Ron Lockwood and Doug Higby. "If you like the power of Bulk Edit... this gives you more."
