System for providing subscriber with access to a content area customized for the combination of subscriber's responses to topic prompt, subtopic prompt, and action prompt

摘要

A system for navigating an online information system is disclosed. Subscribers provide topic and action preferences to traverse to a customized content area in which related tasks may be completed. Customized content areas are reached after subscribers make three or fewer selections. Paths to customized content areas are similar for all combinations of topics and actions so subscribers learn quickly how to navigate to any area of the information service.
