Abstract
Embodiments of the invention generate a primary interface to display data in a flat format. A secondary interface is generated at the request of a user to display the same data in a tree or similar hierarchical format. The secondary interface is initiated from the primary interface. A user selects data in the secondary interface and thereby navigates to the corresponding data in the primary interface. This system improves user productivity by increasing the speed at which a user finds and interacts with stored data in the supply chain management system.
