Biblioscape records come from different modules, but they are organized and searched in a similar manner. The folder is the basic tool to organize records. A folder can only contain records from one module. For example, a reference folder cannot contain a task record. Folders of different types are organized in a single tree structure. The relationship between folder and records is one-to-many, meaning that one folder can contain many records. A record can only reside in one folder.
For advanced users, organizing records in one dimension is not sufficient. Biblioscape includes a very flexible Categories module for this purpose. Categories themselves can be organized in a tree structure and they can be used to tag records from other modules. Unlike folders, the relationship between categories and records is many-to-many: a category can be used to tag many records, and a record can be tagged with many categories.
There are two kinds of searching tools available to all modules in Biblioscape: fast search and advanced search. Fast search is a full text search and it is -- as the name suggests -- fast. It is more like an Internet search tool. You enter the search words and press the Enter key. All "hit" records are returned instantly with search words highlighted in different colors. If your searching needs are more complicated, you can use the advanced search. Searching can be limited to a field and logical operators can be applied.
