We have been asked why are there two versions of Daisy; 2003 (Soon to be 2004!) and 2004 4D.
The two programs have a lot in common and share many features :-
- A wide variety of databases can be opened and processed.
- Databases can be investigated and analysed in many different ways, using numerous mappings and aggregations.
- The same basic Daisy chart drawing capability is used.
- All templates created are compatible with both programs.
However they are also deliberately very different in their presentation and approach :-
- Daisy 4D is a database viewer in addition to being a full database analyser.
When you open the database, you are presented with a 'spreadsheet'-style view of the data.
- Daisy 4D also features simple sorting and summarisation of the entered data.
- Daisy 4D can process name and address databases to format and decode addresses, validate postcodes and telephone numbers and send messages.
- Daisy 4D can de-duplicate databases.
- Daisy 4D can send E-Mails and text messages to valid addresses in the database.
- Daisy 4D has been designed as a quick and easier-to-use program for smaller databases.
- Daisy 2003 can handle much larger databases.
Sizes depend on the power of the computer, but typically 10,000,000 is a limit for Daisy 2003 as against 100,000 in Daisy 4D.
