A named object view of a report is generated from an electronic data file. Objects in the file to be published are identified in the file. A named object view of the report associated with the file is generated by displaying published identified objects according to associated viewing rights. A viewer at a client is presented with the named object view of the report, according to the viewing rights, such that the viewer's attention is focused on the published objects.

A system and method for optimizing server resources while providing interaction with documents accessible through the server. The system allows a user to open and interact with a document without opening a session. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method having steps for determining whether a document is static in response to a request to open the document, and opening the document in a sessionless mode when the document is static. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method having steps for determining whether a trigger has occurred and transitioning to a session mode for the document when a trigger has occurred.

A progress UI is displayed within a user's web page for long-running requests. For each long-running request, a progress UI is displayed to the user indicating that the long-running request is being processed until the long-running request has been processed. The progress UI may be a progress indicator showing the user the status of the processing, or the status message could be some other message to the user indicating that the long-running request is still being processed. While the long-running request is being processed, data is sent from the server to the user's browser at a rate such that the server performing the long-running request does not time out. The current state of a web page may be maintained such that when a long running request is made the web page that contains the control that issued the long-running request is not automatically refreshed when the long running request takes place.

Described is a system and method for grouping elements whose data falls below a grouping threshold, and for displaying the grouped elements as a single portion of a graphical chart. Briefly stated, the system and method allow a user to dynamically increase a grouping threshold from a default value to an adjusted value. The data for each elements falling below the adjusted grouping threshold is aggregated. The grouped elements are then displayed as a single slice with a value of the aggregated data rather than being displayed as individual slices. In this way, the important information, which normally means the bigger and more significant slices, is more clearly visible. Further more, a single label may be associated with the group, thereby eliminating problems associated with the layout of multiple labels for each individual grouped element.
