Dissemination of data

摘要

An advisor system (1) sets up a virtual server host system (15) via the Internet (10). The virtual server is general to the advisor's business, and it also includes secure server of the host system (15) in which client data is stored. The virtual server and the secure data areas are set up initially. Data is processed in the advisor system (1, 41) and template rules are applied at a high level such as selection of pages to be included. If the output is ultimately for dissemination via the host system (15), further template rules are applied (45). This involves a cell-by-cell process which determines if the cell content is to be displayed and performs conversion to markup symbols according to display attributes. Subsequently, client access is according to the menus structures previously generated by the advisor.
