Chapter 8: Database This chapter describes how to design an AppleWorks database document to help you manage information. AppleWorks makes it easy for you to create a database, enter your data, format it in different layouts, and present custom reports. Once a database contains records, you can search through and sort them, change the data they contain, and design and print a report of some or all of the data. All database features, including procedures, buttons, and troubleshooting, are described completely in onscreen Help. When to use a database Use a database to: 1 maintain address lists, and then print names and addresses onto labels, form letters, and personalized notices 1 maintain customer lists for automated mass mailings, or information about guests and vendors for parties and events 1 create attractive invoices and reports 1 create lists you need to sort, such as bibliographies for school papers 1 catalog recordings, stamps, and other collections Database basics If you have not previously worked with AppleWorks database documents, take a few minutes to read about some general database concepts, the basics of setting up a database, and entering information.
