Use the View > Notes command to open the bottom window pane with notes (and pivot tables).

Aside from the always-present "Pivot Tables" tab, initially there are three tabs: "Text Notes", "Images/Files" and "Code". They are the same as the corresponding regular long binary fields in records, with some added functionality. They just allow you to store any type of data without creating a table with records. You can add any number of such tabs of each type, in any order.
Each "Text Notes" and "Code" field can store up to 4GB of data. In each "Images/Files" field you can store any number of objects, each one up to 4GB.

If you use the File > Protect command to encrypt your database file, all the data stored here will be encrypted as well, using the industry-standard, strong and safe encryption method, so you can use GS-Base files also as encrypted containers for any type of data in its original format.

Note: If you want to keep a large amount of text data and font styles are not required, you can consider using the "Code snippets" tabs with the syntax coloring set to "none". For very large documents, they'll be faster than the "Text Notes" tabs, which rely on the slower Windows built-in editor.

Note: The first "Pivot Tables" tab contains pivot tables created independently for each database table. This tab can't be moved or deleted.
All other tabs in this pane/view contain data shared by all tables in a given database file, and can be added/deleted/re-organized.

Use the available local toolbar commands to store and format any text (up to 4GB per tab), images or other files, or code snippets with syntax coloring for a number of programming languages.

You can also use the drag-and-drop functions to exchange the data with database fields or other applications.

Click the "Add Tab" button to add any number of notes of any type. A new tab is inserted after the current one, so you can easily group tabs of the same type.
The "Organize" menu commands enable you to delete, rename and move the tabs.

All tabs are searchable in one pass - clicking "Find Next/Previous" causes searching all textual data in all tabs and selects the found string.
For the "Images/Files" field, the file names are searched.

You can use two search modes:

• Find In Notes - searching using regular expressions
• Find Similar In Notes - fuzzy text searching without regex
