Abstract
A horizontal toolbar presents a hierarchical path terminating at a currently-selected element, beginning at a root element, and including intermediate elements from a hierarchically-related subset of elements having parent-child relationships. A tree representation, provided simultaneously with the horizontal toolbar, includes nodes matching the elements included in the hierarchical path. The tree representation uses branches connecting adjacent parent-child nodes to indicate parent-child relationships and highlights a current node-of-interest in relation to other displayed nodes and matching the currently-selected element in the horizontal toolbar. A side panel, provided simultaneously with the horizontal toolbar and tree representation, presents side panel entries corresponding to elements displayed in the hierarchical path and nodes displayed in the tree representation, and identifies a currently-selected entry matching the currently-selected element in the horizontal toolbar and the current node-of-interest in the tree representation. Updates in one area automatically update the other areas.
