Alpha Five Feature Overview	Page 6 of 21
Genies

One of Alpha Five's key competitive advantages is that it allows non-technical users to build powerful customized applications.

Alpha Five's many Genie dialogs take you through the process of building sophisticated layouts, reports, and queries; through building customized interactive dialogs and action scripts, all by entering values and selecting alternatives from lists.

Although Genies are conceptually similar to Wizards (like you find in other Windows programs), they are far more powerful - designed to tackle more complex database tasks.

Genies are also a great way to learn Xbasic - since each Genie creates a working Xbasic script that you can copy to the clipboard and use elsewhere in your application.
