Abstract: An information list generation apparatus and a program thereof visibly display important information in recorded information constantly in a high priority display position in a listing. That is, a server searches a message board database at a request of a member to display data on a message board, and edits display screen data of a groupware system based on the recorded data extracted in the search. Then, the server transmits the edited display screen data as a Web page to a client terminal. On the display of the message board, an article specified as a resident article is displayed in the highest priority display position in the display window regardless of the lapse of the recording date and time in the message board database. The resident article is followed by a predetermined number of normal articles having the latest recording dates and times.

Abstract: A group management program for performing modifications (for example additions and deletions) to members of a group which is constituted by a plurality of members, comprising a member database which holds information concerning the plurality of members. This group management program performs verification as to whether a member who accesses the group management functions is a member of the group, receives a member modification request (or proposal) from the verified member, receives approvals of the request made by the verified member, and reflects the requested and approved member modification in the member database when preset conditions on the request and/or approval are satisfied. All of the members of the group are provided with equal authority to perform the aforementioned requests and approvals. Thus, all members may perform member modifications and as a result member modifications may be performed autonomously and in a timely fashion.

Abstract: The display attribute of data essential for structuring list display data is varied according to the degree of newness of information, so that a user can easily verify the newest information. On a list display data generating apparatus of this invention, the display attribute, for example, the color, the background, the style, etc. of characters, or the like, which is essential for a listing display such as the registration date and time of information, etc., can be varied on a display screen of an information listing. Accordingly, the degree of newness of information can be displayed without displaying, for example, a special image representing the number of elapsed days, and without reducing the amount of information displayed on one screen. Consequently, a user can quickly grasp the registered contents of information to be browsed without overlooking the information.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus to affix an identification mark (i.e., bookmark) to document information including character data, image data, etc. When an add command to affix an identification mark to a desired information location in the document information displayed on a display device is received from a command entry device, an identification mark affixing device causes a storage device to store an information location (i.e., a line in a page of the document information) to which the identification mark is to be affixed, as identification mark information. When a select command is received from the command entry device, to select a desired one of identification marks displayed on the display device, an identification mark searching device searches the identification mark information for the information location corresponding to the selected identification mark.
