iCuistot allows a user to manage his recipes. A note:

  • Themes - the application has a separate module for creating themes, which can use the fields of a recipe;
  • View-pane - the user can select the zoom factor and resolution of the View-pane;
  • Predefined Smart List - the Client has an automatic feature for creating specific smart lists. A user can for instance select the group theme region, which then shows a set of smartlists, with one list for each region found in the recipes.
