Databases
With your P-touch Editor, you can create useful databases to help you collect, organize and retrieve
information.
A P-touch Editor database document is made up of a table, divided into records. Each record consists
of a number of fields, each containing text data. When a field is created, it is given a format which
determines the type of data that the field can contain.
The records are the rows of the table, and the fields are the columns. The field names appear at the top
of each column. If your database is a list of customers, for example, each record could contain a field
for the first name, a field for the last name, a field for the telephone number, etc. Any of the fields in
the database can be used to sort the records, making it easier to find a desired record.
