add links to the establishments Intranet or Internet
pages without the need for a knowledge of HTML. To
this end WebIndex allows system administrators to turn
off advanced features (such as formatting and file
paths), hiding these details from the end user and
presenting them with just the tools necessary for
maintaining the Index(s).

comprises of up to 49 main categories (known as Table-
of-Contents entries) which are further divided by up
to 49 sub-categories per Table-of-Contents entry. Up
to 99 web sites may be entered under each sub-
category. The example diagram below shows the WebIndex
structure:-
Automatic alphabetical sorting is provided for each
set of entries, as is the ability to manually move
entries up and down if you wish to impose your own
method of sorting.
Picture files may be imported for web-links if
desired, and displayed at a fixed size (thumbnail
style) or at original size above each link.
Any section of the index may be printed (from a single
web site entry to a whole Table-of-Contents) entry or,
the whole index may be printed, creating a hard copy
catalogue.
A site licence is provided to allow multiple users to
add entries. The software will only allow one user to
edit the catalogue at a time however. This prevents
data loss from the index becoming out of sequence. A
user trying to access an open catalogue file is asked
