Disclosed herein are user interfaces and related systems and methods for selecting hierarchically arranged items in order to facilitate subsequent operations on an accumulation of such data selected from throughout a hierarchy. More specifically, a columnized user interface is disclosed that includes a final column containing an accumulation of items selected from various locations within the hierarchy. A user may interactively navigate throughout the hierarchy in one or more other columns, while selectively adding specific items from any such hierarchical locations in the final column for subsequent processing. Other tools may support grouping into favorites, recall of previous selections, or other operations to facilitate rapid creation and recreation of item groups for processing.
