What is a Database?
The user who designed
this daily planner
created a new record
each day. So far, this
user has a database
containing three
records.
The user can sort these
records by date or
other entries and
search for information
in any field.
8-2 Managing an OmniForm Database
A database is a collection (file) of information stored as individual
records. Each record uses the same form design but can contain different
information in its fields.
OmniForm automatically creates a database when you scan in or import
a form. As soon as you fill in the form, it becomes the first record in a
new database. Any user of this database can create a new, blank form
using the record as a template and then fill in new information to create
another record. This makes it possible to store a large amount of similar
information and retrieve it quickly and easily.
