Personal Information Manager
This handy database is all you need to keep your contacts, notes, links, account settings and TODOs in one place.
When you are adding a contact you can drop a picture of a person. You can also drop any number of file attachments to each of your records.
Data Organizer encrypts files and pictures to provide full security of your data.
You can setup alarms to be notified about important events such as birthdays or anniversaries.
Your records are assigned to some predefined categories. You can see those categories in the category tree. The tree is fully customizable.
The personal information manager database is a single file you can take and open on any computer with Data Organizer installed.
If you do not want to install Data Organizer download the mobile version and put it on your pendrive for example.
You will then have easy access to your data on any computer regardless if it has or has not active Internet connection.
Set up password to protect your data with a strong encryption algorithm.
How to start
Download and install Data Organizer.
Launch the application. If you are doing this for the first time the Create new database dialog should welcome you
(if you do not see it, click the New button in the main toolbar).
There is a number of database templates available. Choose one called Personal information manager and click the OK button.
Data Organizer creates a new database for you in a standard location and opens it immediately.
You are set up to work.
Adding new items
To add a new item click 
button or hit Ctrl+N.
Select the type of item you want to create in the New item dialog and click the OK button. A new empty form is displayed and
you can start entering your data.
For a new contact you can upload a picture. Right click on the picture control and select Upload picture menu command. You can also
drag a picture file and drop it on the control.
To add a file to a form right click anywhere in the form but outside of any control and select Add file menu command. You can also
drag and drop the file on the form.
If your file is already dropped and you want to move it somewhere else drag it with Ctrl key pressed. Exporting files from the database back to your computer is straight forward.
Simply drag the file outside of the form to your desktop or other location and drop it (do no hold Ctrl pressed).
Categorizing items
The personal information manager comes with predefined category tree.
Data Organizer manages your items by assigning them to predefined categories. For example your contacts are assigned by default to "Contacts" category.
Some categories you probably do not need. Instead, you may want to add your own ones.
Right click on any category and take a look at the context menu displayed. Add category, delete category and rename category tools will help you shape the tree
the way you want.
Change parent of any category by dragging it to a new location. To do so press and hold the Ctrl key. Use Up and Down arrow keys to change position of a category
in the range of its parent. Again you must hold Ctrl key to do so.
Whatever you do with the category tree it does not affect your items other than signing then out when a category is removed.
To assign an item to a category simply open it and check the appropriate categories. Do not forget to save your changes when leaving the form.
You can also assign multiple items at once directly from the list. Switch the category tree to from the filter mode to assign (
) mode.
From that point any change in the category tree will affect category assignments of selected items.
Filtering and searching
As number of items grows finding information becomes difficult. That is when the category tree becomes extremely useful.
You can quickly limit number of items by showing items assigned to specific categories.
Start from switching of all categories to clear out the view. Click 
or right click in the category tree and select
No categories menu command.
Now click the category you are interested in (Contacts, Notes, etc.). The list shows only items that have been assigned to the category. You can quickly browse through
to find the piece of information you need.
If you know that the item you are looking for contains specific words or phrase, use the search form (above the list) to find it.
As soon as you start typing your phrase Data Organizer will modify the list to show only items with that phrase inside.
Securing data
Data Organizer uses strong encryption algorithm to encrypt all information in the database.
If you set up a password no one, except you, will be able to access the database. To set up the password click the Database button in the main toolbar.
This will bring the Database properties dialog.
Switch to the Security tab. Here you can change the password. If the database did not have password set up so far leave the Old password field empty.
Once the password is set up you will be asked to enter it before opening the database.
Exporting data
You can export any subset of your items to an external file using CSV format. This format is accepted by leading spread sheet applications. The file attachments stored in items can be exported to external location simply by dragging them outside the application window. There is also a command that will export files from multiple items at once. Finally you can print your records either as individual forms or as a list.
Need more?
Data Organizer provides more than just a simple fixed personal information manager. You can modify your forms by adding and removing existing fields. You can change layout of forms and decide which columns are visible in the list. Except existing forms you can create your custom ones and use them immediately. Finally, you can create other databases either through predefined templates (diary, books, DVDs, CDs, recipes, inventory database) or from scratch. The possibilities are endless.
