From the 2K website:
Data Plus is powerful, but easy to use, database management system
for Nokia 9200 communicator. You can store and manage any kind of
database like data using Data Plus when you are �in the field�,
outside the office. CRM records about your customers, large price
lists, oustanding invoices, company assets on on side or list of
your music CDs, favorite night clubs adresses, spot match results
or whatever you need for both of your bussiness and private life.
And good message is that you don�t need to be computer expert to
create and maintain the database in Data Plus, it is simple and
straightforward.

Everything on one place The Data Plus file represents the �database�
which can contain more �tables� and each table contain set of same
�records�. And finally, the record store the information in relevant
fields (for example Name, Street, ZIP, City etc., if we are talking
about table containing address). Data Plus allow to create more
than one table in the database file, so you can keep logically related
information on one place (for example customer database and list
of outstanding invoices). More to this, Data Plus keep is so called
�Master table� extended table attributes � table content description
(or note to table), category (you can categorise table to the groups
according content, for example), etc.

Easy to view and manage your data
The premium goal of Data Plus is to allow to user quickly and comfortable
find the information he wants and display it in most appropriate
form, according user needs. Certainly also easy entering and managing
of records is important.
Card and list view
Data Plus offer two forms of displaying the records � the list
view showing more records in one tine in the spreadsheet like grid
or the card containing just one record on full screen. Both of these
types of views are fully equivalent � you can perform exactly the
same operations in them: edit, add, delete records, sort, filter,
search them, as you need.

Powerful filters
If you want to display just subset of record which fit some condition
or combination of conditions, Data Plus offer you filters � easy
way ho to do it.

Design customised views
Unique feature of Data Plus is the possibility to define your own
list views. User can setup which columns (e.g. which record fields)
are visible in the view, in which order, their width, apply the
sorting order and/or filter. View manager allow to save these attributes
under given name and later restore them just by choosing the view
name from the list. If you have database of invoiced, you can easy
switch among displaying of received invoices, sent invoices, outstanding
invoices and in each mode see just the fields you need, record sorted
as necessary � without repeating the same setup again and again.
Do it just once and the use it!



"Adjust view� mode allow you to setup columns in view in comfortable,
interactive and fully graphical tool:

Simple choose the column by arrow keys, then move it, change its
width, hide the column or show it again� No complicated dialogs,
you do the changes directly in the displayed table.
Manage records
Additionally to ususal functionality like Add, Edit or Delete record,
which you may find in all kind of databases, Data Plus contain one
less common, but useful command: Copy record. This speed usp the
entering of records very much, because it happen quite often, that
the new record is different from existing in one or two, three fields
only, the rest is the same. So, you can �copy� the record and then
edit only the some fields.

Comfortable searching
If you want to find some value in any field of the table, just
start to write down it on the keyboard. The search dialog appears
automatically� Then you can specify the search conditions more precisely,
if you want (which field you want to search in, how to compare text
fields). Data Plus allow you to search in any kind of field, not
only in text fields, as usual in most of products.

Sort records as you want
The table can be sorted according any of its fields:

Design the database table
The structure of table record is fully in users hands and more
to this: table design can be changed even at the time, when the
table already contain data! The is wide list of field types available:
text, real and integer number, date, time, logical (yes/no), choice
list, unique identifier and memo (suitable for or longer notes or
so). Various attributes, like lower and upper limit for number fields,
can be specified.


Flexible data exchange with PC applications
Data Plus offer powerful mechanism of export and import popular
desktop dBase (DBF) which is acceptable for most of databases and
spreadsheets on PC computers.

Simple, but useful reports
The maximum, minimum and average value can be computed for any
numeric field in the table:

What is next?
We are preparing many new features and improvements in Data Plus
for both near and longer term future� Even more of comfort, radically
improved data exhange, communication features etc., etc., etc. Watch
