Creating a WebCD: Organizing the Content

Use the Retrieval View, the Bookmarks View, and the Browser View to organize the Web and file content on your WebCD so information can be accessed quickly and easily.

Retrieval View
The Retrieval View displays a hierarchical inventory of the Web content and local files that will be packaged (retrieved) onto the WebCD. Use the Retrieval View to organize your retrieval strategy so that only the items you want will be retrieved. You can add new items for retrieval, remove items from the retrieval specification or change an item's retrieval properties. You can also retrieve individual files or folders to include on your WebCD.

Bookmarks View
The Bookmarks View allows you to set up the browsing guide your customers will see when they run your WebCD. This browsing guide, which appears when you run the WebCD Viewer software, is called the Bookmarks window. The Bookmarks View can contain folders to categorize items, links to items on your WebCD (WebCD links) or Live-Links to allow users to jump to your live Web site.

Browser View

The Browser View is uses Microsoft Internet Explorer to allow you to browse the pages of the site you are packaging to aid in deciding which pages to retrieve, which pages to include in the Bookmarks View, and which pages to create Live-Links to. Use the Add URL and Add Bookmark buttons to add specific pages to the Retrieval or Bookmarks View.
