A method for managing a computerized database characterized by the steps of: a) providing a collection of view styles including a card view and a list view; b) selecting an initial view from the collection of view styles; c) determining an initial record index; d) deriving information from at least one record of a computerized database indicated by the record index; e) displaying the information in the selected view style; f) detecting a user input indicating a view style, an index selection, or both; and g) repeating steps d, e, and f in response to the detected user input. The method also includes displaying a card area on a screen of a pen-based computer system which depicts structured information concerning an entity, and displaying a free-form area on the screen depicting unstructured information concerning the entity. A computerized database of the present invention includes a digital computation system having a central processing unit (CPU), memory coupled to the CPU, a display coupled to the CPU, and a mechanism for pointing to selected positions on the display. A card area on the display depicts structured information retrieved from a database stored in the system memory.
