KitBase - Keep track of your kits

Easy to Use

KitBase is very easy to use. Everything is easy to find, interactive and the user manual is only a click away.

All drop down lists can be maintained on the fly, making data entry and corrections quick and easy.

Note: The majority of fields are optional. You can fill in as much or as little detail as you prefer. Only Kit Type, Status and Scale are required entries.

Instantly Sort, Filter and Find records

Your kit list can be easily sorted by clicking the column headings.

You can instantly restrict the list using drop-down lists, e.g. by choosing Vehicles, Germany.

'Find' and 'Go to Record Number' features are provided for quick navigation to records.

Attach Documents and Images

You can associate documents and images with your kits, for example photographs of box art or built kits.

Files can be associated by drag and drop or copy and paste, just the same as Windows Explorer and quick preview is provided for images.

Image Gallery

Attached images are automatically displayed in the kit's gallery, categorised according to the start of their file name (e.g. Box001).

You can simply click an image to pop up a full size preview and browse through the category.

Customisable Fields

Create your own columns in the database. If you have special requirements that are not built into KitBase (e.g. Theatre of Operation or specifics such as a captain/pilot's name) these can be added quickly and easily.

KitBase supports Text, Whole Number, Cash Value, Yes/No and Date fields.

Customisable Views

Choose the columns that you want to see in the list. Columns can be rearranged very easily and data can be ordered Ascending or Descending.

Set up multiple views and quickly switch between them using the view list.

This enables you to easily set up different perspectives on your data, for example 'By Nation', 'By Real Manufacturer' or 'By Purchase Date, Latest First'.

Status Tracking

You can maintain lists of Wanted, Owned, Sold, Traded, Gifted and Scrapped kits and accessories.

Switching between lists is quick and easy using the navigation bar at the bottom left.

When you buy, sell, trade, give away or scrap a kit, simply change the status on the record to move the kit into a different list.

Statistics

Instantly view counts of your kits and accessories from different perspectives, e.g. Kit Type, Nation, Media.

The main kit list form shows the total number of records and the number of records in the filtered set (bottom left).

Every master list screen has a set of statistics for each master entry.

Filtered Reports

You can print professionally formatted reports of your kits and accessories from several perspectives:

• Real Manufacturer (e.g. Supermarine)
• Product Manufacturer (e.g. Airfix)
• Location / Location Number (e.g. Storage Cabinet Drawer #3)
• Nation
• Acquisition Date
• Disposal Date (Date Sold/Traded)

All reports can also be filtered, for example: 1/72 Aeroplanes.

Reports can be previwed, printed and exported to Excel or PDF.

Quick Reference List

If you've ever gone to a show and thought "That's a bargain, but I think I've already got one", the quick reference list is the answer. You can print compact lists of your kits and accessories for easy reference.

As with the other reports, you can filter (e.g. just 1/35 Vehicles).
