INMAGIC Web Publishing Examples
We invite you to try some web sites that use DB/Text WebPublisher. (Each link will take you to that web site in a new browser window.) After seeing some examples in action, you may want to read some User Success Stories.
The following features can be found in the examples below:
Database with over 100,000 records.
Alternate Search Syntax allows "Google-like" commands. For example, users can type the words they want to find without Boolean AND symbols. Available in version 10 and higher only.
WordWheel (also known as Browse Indexes) allows the searcher to browse the field index to assist in searching the textbase. Word Wheels can be renamed to "Browse Index," "Browse" or whatever.
LinkSearch allows the searcher to click on a subject-link and have the program automatically search the textbase using the search strategy embedded in the subject-link.
CheckBoxes allows the searcher to narrow the search. Using a checkbox report, check items wanted. Click the Narrow Selection button, which re-executes the search, keeping only the selected items.
Images attached to database records are viewable in some examples by clicking on a hyperlink associated with the record.
PDF allows a searcher to link to an Adobe Acrobat PDF file from a record. You must install a viewer from Adobe. To download a free view go to Acrobat Reader.
DropList. Use a option list to narrow your search. For example, Language = English or Spanish or Mandarin. A Word Wheel is dynamic; change the data in the record and the data in the list changes. A Drop List is static. Changes to the list must be made to the search file using an HTML editor.
Radio buttons to select reports. Allows you to pre-select the report that will show after a search. This technique also allows the database designer to design various reports for different groups, and control which reports each group can have access to.
Radio buttons to select number of records to display. For example, display 10 in a group, or 25, or unlimited. If your search should find thousands of records, formatting the report will take a long time. Limiting your search results speeds up the display of records.
Radio buttons to select And Or or Not operators DB/TextWorks normally generates a DropList for the And Or or Not operators. This is another option.
Button to return to multi-record report. This feature, also called the Rewind button (<<), is found in WebPublisher version 7. This button makes it more convenient after displaying one record after another (clicking the Next button many times) to return to the report that displays many records.
Button to return to search screen. This feature is found in WebPublisher version 6.1. This button makes it more convenient after displaying one record after another (clicking the Next button many times) to return to the search screen. In WebPublisher version 7.0 the password is retained for the duration of your browser session.
Hidden search parameter. For example, it can limit access to those records that have Availability=Public or Status=Current.
Cart. From multiple searches, check items in a report that will go into cart for later processing..
Please note: when searching, capitalization is irrelevant.
