A system and process that automatically responds to changes in displayed table data to determine and reestablish a hierarchy for the table. A column hierarchy order component checks each column of a table to determine the number of groupings of entries and reorders the columns based on the number of groupings. A column order at the time a table is loaded is saved and can be used to restore that original order.

Hierarchical grouping columns

A system and method are described for dynamically generating a table containing data from multiple model nodes. For example, a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: displaying a plurality of attributes from multiple different nodes of an application; providing a user interface allowing a user to select attributes from the plurality of attributes to be displayed as columns within a table; receiving an identification of a set of attributes within the plurality of attributes selected by the user; and storing the identification of the set of attributes as configuration data within local data storage, the local data storage being separate from a system data storage in which program code and data for the application is maintained.

A system and method are described for filtering certain rows of a table while at the same time maintaining rows illustrating the ancestry of the filtered rows. For example, a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: receiving user-specified filtering criteria from a client comprising a value or range of values for filtering the rows of a table; filtering the table rows as indicated by the user-specified filtering criteria to generate a set of filtered rows; and generating a table containing the filtered rows and other rows which are ancestor rows to the filtered rows, notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the ancestor rows are not part of the set of filtered rows based on the user-specified filtering criteria, and excluding all other rows from the table.

System and method for implementing a non-destructive tree filter

A system and process that groups identical values that are adjacent to one another within a column of a table. The system provides this functionality through an application and backend implementation independent module. Custom grouping information for a table or columns within a table can be stored for retrieval each time a table is open or displayed. A user can manage the customizations through a centralized portal.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for user a context debugger. A computer-implemented method of displaying information on a computer display device includes loading data into a context hierarchical data structure into memory during an execution of a business software application, the context hierarchical data structure comprising an arrangement of nodes and attributes, and displaying a first view on the display device during the execution, the first view comprising the context hierarchical data structure and data.

Context debugger

A system and method are described for maintaining consistent table behavior when in different modes of operation. For example, a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: generating a table containing a selection column comprised of selectable cells, the table having a current lead selected row; providing a user with the option to select between an editable mode and a read only mode for the table, wherein, when in the editable mode the user is permitted to edit one or more cells within the table; detecting user input in relation to the table, wherein: if the user selects an editable cell when in the editable mode, allowing the user to edit the contents of the cell without changing the lead selected row; if the user selects a cell in read only mode, maintaining the current lead selected row; and changing to a new lead selected row in both the editable mode and the read only mode only if the user selects the new lead selected row from a cell within the selection column.

System and method for maintaining consistent behavior when in different table modes

Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a method may include storing a plurality of database records, storing a value associated with each database record, receiving a request to sort the database records, sorting the database records, and sending a response message.

Hierarchical table

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for a window positioner/sizer. A computer-implemented method of displaying information on a computer display device includes displaying a first popup window on a primary window, the first popup window comprising controls enabling selective positioning and sizing of the first popup window relative to the primary window.

Window positioner/sizer

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for populating a table in a business application. A computer-implemented method of displaying information on a computer display device includes displaying a first view on the display device, the first view including dropdown values and data in a table of rows and columns, the data received from a table node data structure stored in a memory, the table node data structure including node elements and attributes, and generating a second view in response to a change in a dropdown value by repopulating the table of rows and columns using attribute identifications (IDs).

Populating a table in a business application

A method and system for Java Gantt/bar chart rendering includes an extractor to receive project data, a table generator to generate a project table suitable for representing the project data, and a dynamic page component to generate a Gantt chart image utilizing the project table. The system further includes a cell rendering component to render at least one cell of the project table by identifying a suitable graphical image and by applying the graphical image to the cell.

Method and system for Java Gantt/bar chart rendering

A method and system to generate chart models are disclosed. Graphs may be rendered more efficiently by utilizing chart models, where multiple chart models are be generated utilizing the same set of chart data. Each chart model may be utilized to render a corresponding chart. In order to generate a chart model, a set of data may be totally disassembled first and then reassembled in an appropriate manner (e.g., according to a desired chart description). Disassembling may include, from a set of data, extracting data corresponding to all X coordinates (all abscissas), extracting data corresponding to all categories, and extracting the values corresponding to each abscissa-category pair. Reassembling may include generating a new set of data or a model, according a sorting logic.
