Abstract

An information list generation apparatus and a program thereof visibly display important information in recorded information constantly in a high priority display position in a listing. That is, a server searches a message board database at a request of a member to display data on a message board, and edits display screen data of a groupware system based on the recorded data extracted in the search. Then, the server transmits the edited display screen data as a Web page to a client terminal. On the display of the message board, an article specified as a resident article is displayed in the highest priority display position in the display window regardless of the lapse of the recording date and time in the message board database. The resident article is followed by a predetermined number of normal articles having the latest recording dates and times.
