MINISIS Web Interface
The MINISIS Web Interface (MWI) is an add-on product to the standard MINISIS software. It allows easy access
to MINISIS databases via standard web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
The MINISIS Web interface permits the dynamic creation of HTML-formatted web pages from MINISIS database records.
Any MINISIS database can be web-enabled using MWI. In addition to standard retrieval and display capabilities,
MWI supports remote data entry, allowing users to interact with the web site in a number of ways.
