"At your invitation, I visited your website, and
it is impressive! It is very well laid out, and very easy to
navigate, so that a person can spend the bulk of his time absorbing
important information, rather than struggling with how to navigate
the site. Moving around your site, and accessing cases is a very
pleasant process, indeed."
To see
the supreme UFO database, consisting of thousands of records
going back to 1400,
visit the National UFO Reporting Center.
The data here is set out in a form of a spreadsheet. Its features
should be self explanatory, but here is a brief summary.
The Search feature is quite powerful. Enter any part
of a word that interests you into the dialogue box, and Reports
showing that feature will be displayed. For example "Brid" returns
Reports relating to Bridlington. This applies to dates - in fact
any item displayed in any field. 'Date witnessed' is set out in
the form Year/month/day.
Also, for convenience, and dependent upon the size of your screen
the user can select how many reports to be displayed, 25, 50, 100,
150. It is possible to move between pages of data by the dialogue
at the bottom. (Previous, 1, 2, ... Next).
Perhaps the most useful feature of the table is the ability to set
indexes based on any column, from largest to smallest and vice
versa.
And don't forget that the details of each record in this library
can be accessed via the View button.
