This tour illustrates some images of the facilities within the DSDB 1.2, together with brief explanations and ideas for use. The bottom of the page shows the other facilities available within the database.

We hope you'll agree that the DSDB 1.2 offers a clear, easy and effective way for any professional Instructor to manage his or her pupil and business records. If you like what you see here but still have questions before purchasing, please get in contact via the site.

This is the Main Switchboard. From here you can access all facilities at a click of the mouse.

This is the Student / Training Details Form. The picture buttons at the top of the form are links to other related student data forms. All information relevant to your students will be entered into these forms.

Above is the Lesson Plans Form. Enter your Student's lesson date/time, lesson plan and post lesson analysis.

The Driving Syllabus Form.

Here we see the facilities to record the student's licence details (including any restrictions), and details such as previous experience (prior to meeting you), plus Theory Test details etc.

This is a fully-detailed Practical Test Analysis facility. It can be used for both mock and genuine test(s). All Dangerous, Serious and Driving faults can be recorded for each test.

You may also print off blank copies to use during mock tests.

The Appointment Checker enables you to see at a glance all or some of the appointments you have for each of your students.

Record details of how each student came to you. The Add/Edit source of student form enables you to add new sources, which can then be chosen in the Source of Student Form .

You can then produce a report that will show your most effective advertising strategies, by searching results for each advertising source and different postcode areas.

The Student Training Reports Switchboard. The Forms are used to enter and store information within the database; the Reports draw and collate the relevant information, and allow you to print the information as required.

It's wise to keep your students' contact details with you when you're out during the day. Unless you use a laptop (with the DSDB installed), you'll need to print off the contact details you entered into the database. The above report gives you that facility.

Again, if you don't use a laptop, you can print out this report to show all your bookings for a day, week etc.

The printable version of the Driving Syllabus Form.

You can print lesson plans for all your students for the day.

This is one of the most useful facilities of the DSDB. After a lesson (or at the end of the day), you can record full details of the lesson, including: achievements, strengths and weaknesses and types of roads used.

All this information can be shown in the Driving Analysis Report which you can then, if desired, give or post to your student. They than have a permanent record of the lesson. You can also include advice about study/private practice, and date/time and objectives for the next lesson.

Shown above is part of page 1 of the Practical Test Analysis Report. This can be given to your student (e.g. following a mock test).

The Vehicle/Financial Records Switchboard. Your business financial records may be entered into these forms.

Whether you own or lease your training car(s), you can record all costs, and then produce a report for any given period (e.g. monthly; financial year etc.). Above is the Running Costs for Purchased Vehicles Form, but the DSDB 1.2 has a similar form for leased vehicles.

The Advertising Expenditure Form speaks for itself.

As you can see here, all other business expenses (beyond vehicle and advertising) can be recorded. The database automatically totals the figures entered.

The same report facility for your business expenses.

We hope this short tour has demonstrated some of the most useful features of DSDB 1.2.

Below is a list of all of the facilities available within the 1.2:
