Lightning provides 4D database developers with;
Web User Interface "Shell"
Form Designer - utilising a simple high level tag language (you can create a
highly functional detail or list form in minutes)
Search management - Advanced Search and Quick Search incorporating unified table search. Search criteria can be named, saved and then executed very simply
Session management
Table access management
Sequence number management
Recent items - an automatically maintained list of 15 records recently accessed by the user
Recycle Bin - a list of records "marked" for deletion. Records may also be
deleted immediately but in addition, use of the Recycle Bin allows the
developer to "hold" a record for a specified period and then offer it for reuse when a new record is required. The Recycle Bin also allows administrators to monitor record deletions prior to actually purging the record
Themes - there are built-in visual themes and support for custom user themes
