The AiBasepeople have responded to my inquiry.

Here is the question I posed:

“Dear Sirs:

“The features of AiBase are quite impressive. I do have one question: Does AiBase have the ability to automatically assign information to what some call “categories” or “columns,” and which you may term “objects”?

“Here is an example of what I mean: I create a category (or object?) named “Beautiful.” I then create a rule that automatically links to “Beautiful” anything I add to AiBase that includes the word “Gretchen” or the word “Susan.” Then, whenever I view the category (or object?) “Beautiful,” I find linked to it everything in AiBase that includes the word “Gretchen” or the word “Susan.” “

Here is their reply:

“Dear Mr. Cohen,

“we apologize for the late answer, your email was not delegated
to our support person, now on weekend-revision I discovered it.

“Such categories are currently not possible. What you can do now is: in document settings you can assign keywords (e.g. ‘beautiful’) to a
whole document (e.g. to document ‘X’ which contains information about a beautiful person). Later you can search for ‘beautiful’ and as
search-result you get the document ‘X’, and all other documents
which have the keyword ‘beautiful’.

“We also released a new version (1.21) this week, which offers hot link symbols for faster navigation (by mouse click).

“We always welcome questions and suggestions.

“Best regards,
“Hugo Roth”
