What Is a Database?
A database is a collection 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 filling 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.
The user who designed
this daily planner cre-
ates a new record
each day. So far, this
user has a database
containing three
records.
The user can sort these
records by date or oth-
er entries and search
for information in any
field.
