Build up databases

建立数据库

To build up a database, please first select the [File - New database] menu item to create a new database, then you can add info items within the outline view, input text in the HTML editor, insert files as attachments, and make individual info items linked each other or with the calendar, make hyperlinks, apply labels/tags, or assign custom icons to individual info items, and more; You have the full control of how your information is stored and organized within myBase. See below for detailed instructions.

首先需要通过菜单【文件 - 创建数据库】创建新数据库文件，然后就可以在大纲视图下使用HTML编辑器输入文字，插入文档附件，关联节点或日历，赋予标签，添加超链接，使用自定义节点图标。详细见下。

  1. Create databases（创建数据库）

    Before you can input your data within myBase, you'll need to create a new database (.nyf file) at first, whereby you can input your data and organize them in the tree outline form. In order to create a new database, please select the [File - New database] menu item, then determine the target .nyf database file path and/or set a password for data security.

    在使用myBase输入和管理数据之前，需要新建一个新的数据库（nyf文件），通过这个nyf文件，您可以输入数据并使用树形大纲结构管理和组织这些数据。如需创建数据库，可以通过菜单【文件 - 创建数据库】，在弹出的对话框中，您可以定义数据库的文件名，保存路径和密码。

  2. Add info items（添加信息条目）

    The new database automatically opens when it's created. Then you can insert new info items in the outline tree view by selecting the [Organize - New child item] or [New sibling ...] menu items. Each info item accepts a piece of HTML text as default content. When clicking on an info item within the outline view, the default HTML content will open in the integrated HTML editor, and you can edit or format the content with ease;

    新建好数据库后，你就可以通过菜单【整理 - 添加子项】或者【整理 - 添加项，前面】、【整理 - 添加项，后面】在大纲视图里插入节点。新建节点使用HTML文本来记录。当你点击大纲视图中的节点，这个节点的内容就会在集成的HTML编辑器中打开，然后你就可以进行内容编辑和格式排版。

  3. Insert attachments/shortcuts（插入附件和快捷方式）

    Each info item accepts a collection of files as attachments. The attached files can be either a real file inserted and stored in the database, or a shortcut linking to a document stored in the local file system. To insert files as attachments, please select the [Attachments - Add attachments] menu item; To insert file shortcuts, please select the [Attachments - Add shortcuts] menu item.

    每个节点都可以添加单个或多个文件作为附件。添加的附件可以是真实存入mybase数据库的文件，或者是链接本地源文件的快捷方式。可以通过【附件 - 添加附件】菜单添加真实存入mybase数据库的附件；如要添加快捷方式，可以通过菜单【附件 - 添加快捷方式】。
