Working with Panorama

Track Magic is based on Panorama, and all of the fundamental database features in Track Magic are really Panorama features (including sorting, searching, data outlines, crosstabs, reports, etc.). The following pages provide brief introductions to the Panorama features you are most likely to use with Track Magic. To learn more about any Panorama feature you can refer to Panorama’s extensive PDF documentation. To access this documentation, simply choose Help from the Panorama menu, which opens Panorama’s Help and Documentation wizard.

All of the available PDF titles are listed down the left side of the wizard. To open a particular book simply double click on it. If the selected PDF file is already on your system it will open, otherwise Panorama will offer to download it for you. At the time of this writing there are eight different Panorama PDF books available, but you'll probably find everything you need in Panorama Essentials. (One thing you won't find there, however, is how to embed Ruby programs in Panorama. To learn more about that see Chapter 26 of the Panorama Handbook.)
