catalog a wide range of information: program title, version,
publisher, platform, type (commercial, freeware, shareware, etc.),
category (Games, Desktop Enhancements, Utilities, etc.), language,
keywords, price,
installation date, installation folder, product homepage, serial
number, registration name, download link, and much more. |

Lookup View
(Category)
From the Lookup View you edit data in the various lookup tables
(Category, Keyword, Media, Platform, Publisher, etc.). SoftCAT uses a
relational database model. SoftCAT automatically creates a link
between the program and the entry in the lookup table. When you edit
the lookup table, for example, to fix a typing error, the change
will be reflected in all fields that are linked to the lookup
table. |
