Thank you for rating this answer.

These templates are designed for use with a PDA or smart phone. The Readerware report writer will create a small indexed HTML file from the template. If your PDA or smart phone has the capability of viewing a local HTML file you can use this file to take your database with you. If your device can browse the web you can upload the file to your web site and access it online.
Operation is simple yet fast, refer to the sample image below. To search for books by author click on the first letter of the name. The display jumps to that point and you can scroll the listing if necessary until you find the item you are looking for.
To return to the top of the list and the navigation index, click on one of the Top links.
Two versions are provided, one with an Author index and the other with a Title index. You can use the one that best meets your needs or use both if you need the ability to search by author and title.
You can easily customize the templates if other columns are more important to you.
Requirements
You should sort the results in the desired sequence, (author or title), before generating the output.
To create the file:
- Select the File->Report Writer menu item
- Select the appropriate template from the Reports drop down list
- Select the File->Run and open in browser menu item
Readerware will create the file and open it in your browser. Save the file to your hard drive and transfer it to your device.
Tips for iPhone/iPod Touch users
Because Apple do not let you mount these devices and copy files to them you will need third party software to use this technique on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
You will need Air Sharing from Avatron
Software. You can easily transfer the file and view it with Air Sharing. Create the file on your Mac or PC as described above, mount your iPhone or iPod touch using Air Sharing and then drag and drop the file to store it on the device.
You will now be able to view and navigate through your Readerware database using Air Sharing on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Readerware Templates
Both the AuthorViewPDA and TitleViewPDA templates are included in Readerware 2.985 or higher. If you have the latest version, you already have everything you need. If you are running an older version, the best way to install these templates is to upgrade, the latest version is available here.
If you prefer to install them manually you will find the templates attached to this article, see the attachments list at the end of the page.
For help on downloading and installing templates see this knowledge base article.
