Cairs introduce graphical

September 2000

cataloguing feature

Cairs Ltd. has introduced  new graphical record manipulation feature into their Archive management software, CAIRS-ARC. The hierarchical catalogue now has a fully graphical interface allowing instant drag-and-drop movement of records within the catalogue.

The graphical display changes dynamically as records are added, moved or deleted.  The various levels of data in the hierarchy are ‘colour coded’ to help ensure clear simple and accurate manipulation of the data.  Records can be moved at the same level across the hierarchy, or promoted/demoted as appropriate, with seamless movement from one level to another.

The catalogue is fully ISAD (G) compliant with built in hierarchical searching from fond to item level and auto-child location on any branch of the hierarchical tree structure.  Any catalogue record can also be directly recalled and edited as required.

Records are automatically re-sorted as changes are made.
