See how you can throw together a quick display for just about
anything
Most of the time when you go looking for
database software, it’s because you need a tool to handle a large
project. The beauty of Database Oasis is that you can add as many
displays as you like, so in addition to handling your large products,
you can quickly throw together a display any time you need to track
information.
This demonstration shows how you can create a
display and add a record in under 45 seconds.

records once you’ve added them. This 29 second video demonstrates
locating a record and making a quick edit.

Database Oasis' List View lets you view records in tabular lists
List view can be used as an alternative format
in navigating, viewing, or printing data. This 54 second video
demonstrates setting up a new list and selecting from saved list
formats.

Control the order Database Oasis records appear with Sort
Sort orders set the order records appear in
reports, list view, or when you scroll through records. This 36 second
video demonstrates setting a new sort order and selecting from a
previously saved sort.

Use Filters to limit the records you work with
Filters (“queries” in geek-speak) let users
work with a smaller group of records based on conditions you define.
This 40 second video demonstrates selecting from a previously saved
filter and using the Professional Edition filter builder to make
modifications.
Note: This demonstration highlights filtering
in Professional Edition. Basic Edition filtering is limited to one
criterion.

Import data into Database Oasis Database
Oasis supports import from any delimited file format or from Excel
spreadsheets. This 58 second video shows how intuitive it is to set up
an import in Database Oasis.

Link files, websites, and e-mail addresses to records
The Professional Edition Links feature lets
you launch files directly from your records. This can be used to play a
song from your music catalog, open a company’s website from your contact
list, launch the related application from your software inventory, or
bring up supporting documentation, schematics, specifications, form
letters, and more from just about any other display. This 42 second
demonstration shows how to add and launch a link.

Professional Edition.
