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!

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.

Data Plus allow you to search in any kind of field, not only in text fields, as usual in most of products.
