Software toolset to add mobility to robust go-anywhere database system providing an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface that allows operators to quickly create forms
Industrial strength, multi-user, relational database R:base, has partnered with Syware to launch the first mobile member of the R:base family of database products, Pocket R:base.
The new software, designed for the Pocket PC platform, combines R:base's expertise in robust database management systems with Syware's award-winning mobile forms development toolset, Visual CE.
"Our customers need to collect and send data from a variety of challenging environments", said Razzak Memon, president and CEO of R:base Technologies.
"Our reputation for industrial strength software meant that we needed an experienced partner to provide us with the right toolset to launch our mobile product.
Syware's expertise in Pocket PC development and its powerful Visual CE form building software were what we needed to allow our customers to share robust R:base databases in a mobile environment.
Pocket R:base lets operators create a wide variety of custom forms in minutes and synchronise the data that's collected directly to the R:base database. It's a robust, go-anywhere combination." Pocket R:base is based on Visual CE's powerful forms development environment.
It provides an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface that allows operators to quickly create forms and interface with R:base databases without coding.
Forms can be designed and maintained either on a Pocket PC handheld or on a desktop computer.
Once the application is developed, records can be easily beamed from one handheld device to another.
Other features include pop-up word lists, the ability to create pre-defined data filters, robust font selection, multi-select dropdowns, and calculations on string data.
A macro programming capability allows for the easy creation of multi-step sequences.
