The design point of Leverage is to provide full database funtionality in your hand. The result is that most of the tasks you're used to turning to a desktop database for can now be performed in the field, in your car, or while waiting for the lights to go down at the theater.
Leverage supports selection, sorting, and reporting. It provides an easy to use linking mechanism so that information in one database can be available in another. The automatic user interface elements speed input and make efficient use of the screen real estate. Code can be attached to fields causing special actions to occur when the values in these fields change. Code execution can also be user initiated (i.e., the user can run scripts) or can run when new records are created.
Features of Leverage 3.0 include:
- create custom databases in minutes
- lookup related information in multiple databases
- dynamic, scrolling pop-up lists for easy data entry
- synchronize with desktop databases such as Claris FileMaker Pro and Microsoft Access
- serve information to ODBC clients
- barcode support for quick input
- beam databases between Newtons
- add data from within the Notepad by defining stationery
- programmable -- calculate field values using the Newton's built-in functions
- list view displays multiple records and multiple fields and data can be edited in list view
- list view can include on screen totals, averages, and counts
- user queries are defined by simply filling in a sample record (query by example)
- split screen view shows related databases simultaneously
- queries can be named and saved for easy reuse
- reports can include totals and subtotals
- runtime versions and site licenses are available
