Maintain your recipes and materials on-line

• Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
• Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
• Import existing material, recipe data.
• As many side-by-side recipes and/or materials as you want (chemistry is shown for all).
• Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
• Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, pictures with individual titles and descriptions, material links.
• Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
• Recipes can link to materials, typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
• Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
• Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
• It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).

Imports many file formats

• Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
• Assign a batch number to recipe imports (later search by batch).
• Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) (search on these later).
• Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
• Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding recipe records automatically.
• One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
• Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.
• Import materials data in various formats or just use the thousands of built-in reference materials.

Perfect for Education

• Ceramic study programs can now accumulate material, recipe and testing data year-after-year, students can login and together build a valuable ceramic glaze and body knowledge resource.
• Students already have internet connected devices, computers are not even needed in the class.
• The Reference Manager gives you quick access to the Digitalfire Ceramic Reference Database.
