The Web Interface

The main screen CScout presents to your browser is divided into four sections: Most pages CScout sends to your browser are dynamically generated and may contain elements that can vary from one CScout invocation to the next. Therefore you should not bookmark source listings, or file or identifier detail pages, and expect them to be available on another CScout invocation. On the other hand, the pages containing results of identifier or file queries can be freely bookmarked and are identified with a comment specifying the fact.

You can bookmark this page to save the respective query

You can therefore use your browser's bookmark facility to ``store'' such queries for future use, or pass the URL around so that others can reproduce your results.

We will examine CScout's functionality using as an example the bin workspace we presented in the previous section.
