Building your Database


You need to create the fields and indexs that will hold the data you want to display and let you search through it.

  • Select the Database tab of the Preferences dialog.

    The '*' in the right hand column indicates that this field will be searchable. You can add and remove indexs or fields at any time by revisiting this dialog and then adjusting your HTML template files accordingly.

    NOTE: If you remove a field from a database that has data in it it will delete all that data. You can re-add the field but all the data will be gone.

  • Create your fields
    Use the New button to create a field in the database for each piece of data you want to store. In this example there are 5.

    The "If Empty" lets you assign something to come up if there is nothing there, perhaps you'd like to have a front desk telephone number be displayed for everyone that doesn't have their own seperate extension.

    Check the "Index This Field" box if you want the database to be able to search on this field.
