your own filter expressions with the built-in expression generator
Create your own Categories (Tree Heirarchy) to tag your data records, then

generator.

As its name suggests, copy the data to the clipboard.... but there is
a difference here. Our copy function retains the cell contents in their native
data type. Thus if you copy the Browser Window to the clipboard and paste it
into a program like Microsoft Excel, the data is correctly pasted into cells.
Select one or more columns, then carry our operations on just the selected
columns. For example 'Copy to Clipboard' will only copy the selected columns
to the Clipboard. Export will only export the selected columns.
You can customise the Brower to display whatever columns you want. You can
even save them for later recall. The 'Hide Columns' function temporariliy
removes one or more columns from the display
Restores columns you have hidden.
Allows you to freeze one or more columns, thus having a static fixed number of
columns and a scrollable area for the rest - very similar to 'Split/Freeze

You can also save the 'Active Filter' and if you wish the 'Sort Order' too.

scaleable and scrollable. Date related information is displayed/colour coded,
and can even be updated via the Panel.
Print the Browser Window, same columns as you are viewing. Print detail records
in a structed meaningful way. Not just a hardcopy. You can customise your output
to include exactly what you want.

based on the data being displayed, eg.. Double-Click on an e-mail address to

you to 'Tag' the records you want to update, and then to simply pick 'Bulk Update' on
the appropriate column to change the tagged records values.
This feature is not available on all fields and Access Rights/Security may restrict
it's availability further.
Key Performance Indicators Dashboard functions are including in the Advanced Version of

also enable/disable individual butons/functions. Furthermore record level security

you created it on.
Categories are the ultimate in flexibility. This heirarchical control allows you
to create your own lists and sub lists and then to categorise your records
accordingly. You can even create multiple category lists.
Where they really shine is when you need to filter data on one or more of your
values.
Attach multiple documents (Word/Excel or anything else for that matter)
to a record such as an employee or supplier.
Attach multiple Images/Photos to a record such as an employee or supplier.
Integrator will allow you to resize, rotate or flip the image. It also allows

window, you can then use all the in-built Browser functions to manipulate and
interogate the data.
Quite often reporting tools such as Crystal Reports will bypass your application
security thus allowing access to data which should not be available. Integrator's
reporting tools respect your security settings and automatically prevent this
data being reported.
The Advanced version of Integrator allows you to create multiple database
instances... you can think of an instance as an entirely separate copy of your
database. The only common data is application configuration, profiles and
security. You could use Instances for multiple businesses, or for a backup/test
version. Tools are included for creating/duplicating/deleting instances.
The Advanced version of Integrator allows you to attach a Note to any data
field simply by right-clicking on it and picking 'Notes', a red marker
is displayed next to the field to aid identifying which fields have notes.
This is very similar to the 'Cell Notes' feature in Microsoft Excel
Integrator supports multiple languages. You can switch languages instantly
on any form via the menu. You can of course specify your default language.
Integrator's Language files can be duplicated and edited, thus you have
the ability to customise the language or change the labels on any of the
forms to something more appropriate for your business needs.
Text fields can be converted to another language simply by right-clicking
on them and using the 'Translate' function, Google's Language Translation
service is used to do the translation.

amounts on records in a Browser to the selected Currency being displayed in the
Totals section of the Browser.

via a subscription to a service like XE.COM.
Integrator also maintains details of all past rates loaded..
