This a report showing the data of the all the items in the one-line. The equipment types are divided into separate tabs. The first tab provides a summary of all the equipment items currently in the system. The other tabs separate the database items by equipment type.
The following figure shows an example of the Database Browser:
Figure 1: Database Browser
Typically, all equipment items in the database are listed in the Database Browser. However, you can filter the items shown in the Database Browser by selecting only the desired items on the one-line before opening the browser.
Tip: Use the EasyPower one-line query function to select which equipment items to display in the browser. See Querying to Select for more information.
With the Database Browser in view, click 
Find to search for text in the browser spreadsheet.
Figure 2: Find Dialog Box in the Database Browser
This only searches text in the same column as the currently selected spreadsheet cell. Use this feature to find individual equipment items if at least part of the ID name is known.
The Database Browser is compatible with other standard spreadsheets. You can copy cells from the EasyPower database spreadsheet and paste them into programs such as Microsoft Access or Excel. From these external programs, the EasyPower database information can be converted to other database formats.
Note: You can also export the entire database to a comma delimited (CSV) format using the File > Export > Export Database option.
