A system for filtering items to be displayed on a graphical user interface provided to a client and for interaction by a user, the graphical user interface for a building automation system, is provided. The system includes a processor and memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory includes computer code for allowing the user to create a filter definition via a computer based form. The memory further includes computer code for saving the created filter definition to memory and computer code for applying the saved filter definition to a set of building automation system data items. The memory yet further includes computer code for generating the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface including results of the applied filter definition.

Graphical user interface for a display screen

A method and apparatus for arranging and accessing database data in a manner such that massive amounts of data can be aggregated and manipulated in many different ways to generate reports of many different types in a rapid manner, the method including storing data in point slices where each slice includes data having similar attributes, receiving a report request from which data attributes corresponding to the data needed to instantiate the report can be gleaned, identifying at least one required point slice including the needed data, determining if the point slice exists, where the point slice does not exist, accessing other data and generating the point slice and perhaps some intervening point slices, storing the newly generated point slices and then using the required point slice to instantiate and provide the report.
