One set enables users to move up or down through a list of cables that have been read, and the other set allows movement through new cables. Users can annotate, forward and reply to cables from the desktop. Employing the notes icon, users can attach comments to cables. Because the entire agency can access cables, several layers of privacy are provided for these attachments. The three levels available are public, office-wide or private.
Many incoming cables reference previous ones.
The reference icon automatically will locate referenced cables. When only one reference exists in the cable being read, the referenced cable is displayed automatically in a split screen. If more than one cable is referenced in a document, the software provides a list of these references to the user. CableXpress will support as many as seven screens simultaneously. A magnifying glass icon performs general searches from a growing data base of old cables.
