 An Introduction |
The Scoop™ Now you can
get the Scoop on your Kennel Data!
For years, the main request
we have gotten, after the production of pretty
pedigrees, has been reports. You all have
your unique understanding of your dogs and your
kennel. Why should you have to conform that
understanding to the way a program presents its
data? That's what our "competitors" do.
Man's Best Friend Software, showing its usual
pre-eminence, has again left them in our
dust.
Man's Best Friend Software
proudly announces The Scoop™. This powerful new
add-on for The Breeder's Standard™ versions 2001 and
newer gives you the ability to view your kennel's
data in any way you see fit. Now, instead of the
135 or so reports that come with TBS, you have an
infinite number of views to your
data.
We've combined easy use and
breathtaking power into one simple and inexpensive
product. You can design a report using our easy
Report Wizard, or you can get "down and dirty" with full
power SQL queries. The Scoop™ even has its own
scripting language! So when you think that a
report is difficult to produce, The Scoop™ makes it a
piece of cake!
How much is this reporting
power going to cost? Only $29.99 plus
S&H. You can of course pay no S&H and even
get a $2.99 discount by choosing electronic
delivery!
The Scoop™ is available
today, and comes with comprehensive program help
built-in. The PDF edition of the user manual will
be out in the next week, and Trafford will have the
printed edition for sale shortly after that.
So get The Scoop™
today!
Now, let's talk more about
this powerful program and its features: |
 Easy Use |
Every Report that you create with
The Scoop™ is listed in the main window. You can change
the layout at will, get rid of it, and print or preview
on screen with the single click of
a button. |
 What you see is what you get! |
The
Scoop™ displays the report in a design window, and you
can choose what kind of data you want, where in the report. You
can do groups, sub-details, headers and footers, and more. You can even
insert rich text word-processed details in your reports -- even your own kennel logo!
There is an easy-to-use tool bar, and
the lesser-used options are on the top menu.
Whever the power is located, it is
there!
The Scoop™ supports normal things
like page number and date/time, but also supports
full-blown expressions, where the sky is the
limit! Do you have a private genetic calculation
that you want to keep to yourself? Perhaps The
Scoop's powerful expressions and scripting language will
let you rapidly calculate what you need to
know! |
|
Then see the
Data! |
Any time while you
are working on the report, you can press the Preview
button and see it work! The data will display on
your screen. You can rapidly print from that same
screen if you wish.
This kind of "on the fly" checking was
formerly only available to computer geeks, or those who
spent hundreds, even thousands, of dollars on an
end-user ad hoc reporting tool. We did it, and
quite well, for under thirty bucks. |
|
 But what if I'm not a
geek?
|
The
Scoop™ isn't a "geeks only" product. Built
right in is a powerful Report Design wizard that will
take you step by step through creating your
report. You'll end up with a working report in one
or two minutes! Then if you want to "dress up" the report
with your logo, fonts, even borders (it will draw shapes onto the report),
it's all supported up front and easily!
The wizard will give you several ways to
list your data, and will let you choose paper alignment,
fonts, even ruled lines between each record. The
Scoop™ is designed to be easy for real
people! |
 But what if I am a Super-Freak Super-Geek? |
The Scoop™ is also your program if you
are more than a power user of TBS and/or your computer! You can design custom queries with
grouping, multiple tables, filtering and ordering. You can even make the report ask for
parameters (for example, a date or date range) before you print or preview the report!

If you are "half a geek", and just want
some custom power, we've got your back again!
There is a powerful Query wizard built-in that will
write the initial SQL statement for you, yet you will be
able to customize it as well! Many times, the
Query Wizard will get the job done at the outset,
leaving you free to start using the report!
Not only do we have a strong SQL enging
built into the program for data retrieval, we also have
a strong scripting language built in to let you program
your report to do things that you could only imagine
before now!
If you are a geek, The Scoop™ does what
you want. But if you are a normal person, The
Scoop™ also does what you want! The best of
both worlds! |
