A method or system may search and display search hits as a hierarchy of objects in a computed-based environment. For example, the method may include performing a search on the objects based on search criteria entered by the user, and identifying search hits based on the search performed on the objects, each search hit corresponding to an object matching the search criteria. Further, the method may include providing a display including a hierarchy of objects and indicating the search hits identified from the search to the user, and providing a set of control buttons to permit the user to navigate the display and view the search hits.

Systems and methods for searching and displaying search hits in hierarchies

Systems and methods are provided for searching and displaying reports to a user. In one embodiment, the user selects an item from a displayed list of reporting objects. Based on the user's selection, a list of report topics available for the selected item is determined and presented to the user. In response, the user may select a report topic and, thereafter, the appropriate available report(s) may be directly presented or displayed to the user without any further user interaction. In one embodiment, an appropriate updated report may be generated in response to the user's selections. In another embodiment, the list of reporting topics is determined implicitly for the objects associated with the context the user is working in.

Systems and methods for searching and displaying reports

A method is provided to display a plurality of signals, on a display screen with an intuitive graphical interface, wherein a user has ability to monitor overall data from a single view. A plurality of signals having different frequencies and remaining in a complex relationship with each other may be visualized. Each signal may be displayed by using a symbol, wherein a quasi static signal is graphically depicted using a limit symbol while the dynamic signals are visualized using bar symbols. The symbols may be arranged horizontally, on multiple image planes, in close proximity to each other. A limit symbol may be positioned on the topmost image plane in such a way that if one bar reaches the limit symbol, the bar symbol is at least partially covered. The spatial relationship among the symbols is such that the user can easily determine if an actual signal output matches planned or scheduled output or if it does not exceed the total available capacity. A plurality of symbols may be allocated to correspond to a plurality of numeric values in such a way that numerical data directly corresponding to the graphical depiction is located in the same horizontal line as the symbols. Additionally, the user may be able to oversee the changes in signal in consecutive time segments.
