# The Web Interface

The main screen CScout presents to your browser is divided into four sections:

- Files: queries that list files and related properties
- Identifiers: queries that locate identifiers
- Functions: queries that locate functions and macros
- Operations: changes to CScout's global context

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, function, or file queries can be freely bookmarked and are identified with a comment specifying the fact and a corresponding link.

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.

Also note that often a query's results are split into pages. The program's options allow you to specify how many elements you want to see on each page. Keep in mind that some browsers may choke on huge pages, so keep this number down to a reasonable number (say below 1000). You can navigate between result pages using the links at the bottom of each result page page. The link titled all will present all the query's results. It is most useful as a way to save all the query's results into a file, using a browser command like Save Link Target As ...

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