Application Main Window

The main application window contains two basic elements: the Table of Contents and the Details page. Both of these elements contain your data, but each of them presents it in a different way. The left side of the window (Table Of Contents) lists several records and the right side (details page) displays the detailed information about a selected record. The main window also contains a menu from which you can select many functions e.g. Search/Find. Most of the menu functions are duplicated in the Speed Bar which is displayed at the bottom of the main window. The function buttons in the Speed Bar are divided into two sets (or pages) accessed by the clicking on the Standard and Advanced tabs. The main window is resizable and you can also change the widths of both left and right pages (TOC and Details Page) by dragging the little red-and-yellow handle at the bottom of the main window.

• Data fields displayed in the Details Page can be readily modified by typing in new information;
• The changes to the current record are saved automatically when you select another record, click on the New button, or Exit from the program;
• Use of a broad range of controls, such as tab pages, combo boxes, calendars, calculators makes this application not only fun to use, but also increases your productivity and reduces time spent maintaining data.

Customization: The program provides a wide range of customization functions. Before you start entering new records it is a good practice to play with some options of the program.

• It will allow you to set program options that are close to your individual preferences (colors, fonts, size, position, data field names..).
• Experience will speed up the future data entry process (record templates, copy/paste record, filter, sort, backup).

Controls used in the Details Page and in some dialog boxes

Controls are used for both displaying and changing the data. Controls in the Details Page directly correspond to the database fields - changes in these controls are automatically reflected in the underlying database.

Hint: all controls have Popup Menus (accessed with the right-mouse click) containing many useful functions.
