Designer Details

The Database Oasis display designer lets you drag fields onto a form to create a display of your data. You just set up the screen the way you want to see it, and we do the rest. This gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility on the types of data you can store in Database Oasis.

Database Oasis gives you a lot of options for customizing your displays. In addition to the information you want to store, you can add boxes and graphics to your displays, and set a background color or wallpaper. You can set the fonts and colors and pretty much tweak the interface until it looks just the way you want it.

Get a brief overview of how it's done.

Supported Field Types

Database Oasis supports a variety of field types, including:

Text Fields
This is the most common type of field. It can contain characters, numbers, and symbols such as @ # {}.

Numeric Fields
These are similar to text fields, except that they are limited to only containing numbers.

Notes Fields
This is very similar to a text field, except that you can enter multiple lines of data. Where you would use a text field to store someone’s name, you might use a notes field to keep a record of every time you talk to the person.

Date Fields
This field type is used to store dates. A small calendar icon appears next to the field, allowing you to manually type in the date or select it from a popup calendar.

Check Boxes
This field is displayed as a box: and allows you to indicate a Yes or No answer to a question. A mark in the box means Yes. If the box is unmarked, it means No.

List Fields
This lets you pre-configure a list of data entry options. When entering data in the field, you select from the list and the item is automatically filled into the field.

Picture Fields
This is a placeholder for a graphic file. For example, if you’re storing information about your employees, you might put a picture of each person in his or her record.

Calculated Fields
This is an advanced type of field. It lets you perform a calculation in a field instead of just displaying static data. For example, you might want to calculate sales tax on the value in a numeric field.
