Dispatch isn't just about data-binding and saving time, it's also about enhancing your site, adding new features unachievable by hand-coding, and keeping your online product fresh. Giving an entire site a facelift, saving you time, and providing the technology to explore innovative new layouts, are just a few of the many features Dispatch offers.

• HTML conversion from multiple formats, including Quark Xpress tags and Rich Text Format (RTF).

• Image conversion, optimization, placement, captions and cataloging.

• Customizable templates allowing total design freedom to use HTML, Java, JavaScript, Active X, and future technologies.

• A subset of extended HTML tags for use in templates: This provides build-time database arguments such as byline, headline, issue, volume/date, search keys, and more.

• Paging navigation system (page forward, page back).

• Threaded column navigation (last issue, next issue, current issue).

• Optional page splitting, which can cut articles into multiple pages at your specification (e.g. kilobytes or word count).

• Archive management for column, author and artist archive pages.

• Full-text indexing and searching, including meta-keyword and meta-description management.

• Continuously updated software that regularly adds new features, bypassing the need to download software for each enhancement.

• Useful, accurate, statistical information by author, section, content type, keywords and more—something no other server-log software can do.

• Auto-email statical reports to authors, editors, artists, sales representatives, and others to increase communication regarding your online publication's strengths and weaknesses.

• Flexible, interactive interface allowing you to customize your software and decide which components you want to use.

• Web-based interface: Macintosh, Windows, Unix fully supported.

• Auto-publish option requiring no interaction: Just email your files to the Dispatch server, and your site will be online in no time!

• Support for issue-based sites (print publications), dynamic sites (e.g., C|Net), and hybrids.

• Online scheduling for timed releases and updates: Do all of your work in one day, but have Dispatch release the information throughout the week with the online scheduler.

• Online editing allows you to browse your site—after it's published—and edit pages within your browser without having to know HTML.

• Complete online help: documentation and tutorials are always one click away.

• Dispatch stores all content in a rich database that can easily export your content into other formats you may need for online joint ventures.

• CD-ROM ready for easy transport and archiving.
