with the results being filtered in real-time.

value. Export any number of fields to CSV. Full
transparency, at your fingertips.
Compare and Contrast
Easily see the differences between two
documents, down to field level. What is the
same? Where do fields have different values?
Where are fields are missing entirely? Search
and sort, or even edit (PRO edition only) directly
from the comparison!
Profiles: No Longer Hidden
See all profiles for all users. Every field, right
there for you to see. Find that pesky broken
setting, and even change it (PRO Edition only)!
Delete profiles that are causing problems and
get everyone back to work quickly.

PRO ONLY | Modify Fields
Add, change, and delete fields right from your
client. Any type, single- or multi-value. No more
fiddling around with toolbar buttons, agents or
weird formulas.
Stay right in the moment and don't lose your
place.
PRO ONLY | Copy & Paste Fields
Easy as pie. Select any number of fields in one
document, copy them, then paste them to the
target documents of your choice.
No manual fumbling around, no typos.
