Directions: Index each name in the table. Code each name by keying each unit
of the filing segment in the appropriate column.

Indexing implies organizing files under a specific name to facilitate the process of searching and finding these files later.
How do I index files that have company names?
In this case, it is recommended to follow these steps:
Index the files using the names of the companies as written. This means the first word is always the key unit, the second word is the second unit, and so on.
Single letters represent a word.
Multiple words joined by dash(-) also represent only one word.
Based on these rules, the most appropriate way to index the information provided is:
IDEA (Key Unit)/corporate (Unit 2)/services (Unit 3)
