ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for notifying a user of new data entered into an electronic system. The method includes formatting a searchable database into a directory tree structure, the directory tree structure includes nodes comprising related data and branches comprising links between the nodes. Each related data is categorized by one or more navigation paths through the directory tree structure and by one or more set parameters, the parameters being specific to the node in which the related data is included. The method accesses a discrete data item via a navigation path and one or more set parameters, sets a notification signal by saving the navigation path and one or more set parameters associated with the discrete data item within the electronic system, triggers the notification signal when a new data item is entered into the searchable database that matches the saved navigation path and set parameters, and notifies the user of new data entered into the electronic system in response to triggering the notification signal.
