Powerful features, Incredible ease of use The dbNews Administrator simply creates news publications by specifying what and when information is newsworthy via the point-and-click Publication designer and allows users to subscribe to the publication directly (a web subscription application is provided) or tells dbNews how to intelligently identify 'direct mail' recipients. dbNews takes over from there, transforming raw data into meaningful information tailored for each recipient and delivering it automatically when it's needed via dynamic HTML email. Best of all, dbNews publications can be tailored for nearly any scenario you can think of due to a host of powerful features: A news publication's layout and appearance can be customized easily using the dbNews Publication designer as well as your favorite HTML authoring tool. You can even define the content and news criteria using your favorite SQL-compliant query tool.   Publication news periods can be adjusted so you can capture news since the prior issue of a publication or include data news content with dates that fall into custom past or future ranges. Content-relevant web links can be dynamically built into the publication's content using URLformula™ technology in order to provide information depth and workflow-enable business processes. With URLformula™ technology, dbNews can be instantly integrated with any current or future web applications you use.   When newsworthy data is discovered it can be published in a variety of formats such as HTML, Excel spreadsheet, or XML and via multiple distribution channels such as email, web, cell phone, or pager.   dbNews minimizes the overall load on your database server by using QueryShare™ technology to build personalized content tailored for each recipient, from a handful to many thousands, using only a single query to your database.   And much more!
