DayFlo TRACKER products include single and multi-user Professional

----------------------
GENERAL INFO about using DayFlo TRACKER Lite as a Contact Manager.
DayFlo TRACKER Lite is pre-configured with many forms and reports
for Contact Management (and others).
There are many advantages in using DayFlo TRACKER Lite for the
management of contacts/correspondence over other contact managers.
DayFlo TRACKER Lite is a database which allows addition of, or
modification to the provided forms and reports to suit your needs.
DayFlo TRACKER Lite handles up to 5,000 records per database.
Each record can contain up to 32,000 characters. The number of
fields allowed in a record is 70 and up to 30 fields may be
indexed for faster access.
The multiple field value capability allows up to 101 separate
indexed values per record. Multiple field values are most useful
when tagging a contact with keywords, adding multiple contact
names or capturing phone numbers which vary with each record.
Unique to DayFlo TRACKER Lite is its flexibility of field and
record lengths. Both fields and records will expand in length
without user intervention. Amazingly, expanding fields simply
"push down" fields and information below them. This allows for
new contact information to be entered directly into the record.
DayFlo TRACKER Lite's reporting capabilities prints both textual
and columnar information with format controls, headers, titles,
footers and page numbering provided.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (more)
DayFlo TRACKER Lite is generally considered a "high end" Personal
Information Manager (PIM). It is forms and reports oriented
similar to many file products. But because it is so flexible,
well, it's beneficially different. Since any number of record
types are conveniently available from within a single file it
can't be categorized as a "Flat File" product.
DayFlo TRACKER Lite boasts variable length fields and records, a
native cross linking capability, and a unique multi-value field
capability (ideal for categories, keywords, names etc.). The
editor is more powerful than typically found in a file type of
product yielding great flexibility. For example you can add,
delete and format text anywhere in the record and the fields below
will self- adjust. You can cut and paste between records and even
include field names. DayFlo TRACKER Lite has its own reporting
capability which handles textual data, calculations and multiple
types of reports.
In addition, fields can be added or deleted in any record at any
time as no two records need to be alike. Many computer
professionals call this "freeform" with structure.
PC MAGAZINE (said in regards to these capabilities)
"DayFlo TRACKER offers a blend of structure and flexibility that
is hard to beat".
A TYPICAL STATEMENT from knowledgeable users:
"DayFlo TRACKER while being powerful, is greatly flexible making
it more personable than other file products".
