Database Becomes User Friendly

It has been difficult in the past to use databases because in order for them to be user friendly programming skills are required, which most people do not have. Therefore, databases have not been used to their full potential until now. FileMaker, a part of Apple, Inc., developed the Bento to help overcome this problem. It enables users to manage small projects. Rather than having to use excel to tackle projects, Bento is now available. It is more suited for tackling projects than Microsoft Excel or Word, which is what most people use. This database will prove extremely helpful when planning events or when tackling work projects. It allows users to organize information to make it much more efficient. For instance, if you are planning a party and you want each person to bring a particular food item to the party you can use the Address Book library to select the people who will be coming. From there you can develop a collection that identifies which person is responsible for each item. This is done through iCal Tasks. Once you have done this you can choose different formats to display your collection. The different formats are a table, form view, or spreadsheet style. In addition, you can also add additional information from external sources and combine it with the collection you have created. This very useful database is only fifty dollars.

I believe this will be extremely beneficial to many people. This will help organize work for projects and tasks that managers must assign to employee. It is also useful for personal things like party planning. This database will be accepted by not just those in the workforce but those who want to use it for their personal life. I think this will completely change things and make organizing work more efficient.
