DIRECT MANIPULATION OF DATA DISPLAYED ON SCREEN
A method for displaying on a computing device includes retrieving a data object including an enterprise data from a database, displaying at least one axis including at least one action element associated with the at least one axis on a screen, responsive to a user selection of the at least one action element, displaying a list of selectable attributes of the data, and responsive to selecting an attribute from the list of attributes, displaying a subset of the data reflecting the selected attribute.
1 . A method for displaying data on a computing device, comprising:
retrieving, by a processor, a data object including an enterprise data from a database;
displaying, by the processor, at least one axis including at least one action element associated with the at least one axis on a screen;
responsive to a user selection of the at least one action element, displaying, by the processor, a list of selectable attributes of the data; and
responsive to selecting an attribute from the list of attributes, displaying, by the processor, a subset of the data reflecting the selected attribute.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the tablet device in one of a tablet computer and smart phone.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the tablet device includes a touch screen.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the action element is a push button displayed on the at least one axis on the touch screen and wherein the action element is activated by a user tapping the push button.
5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the displayed at least one axis is the action element, and wherein the action element is activated by a user tapping on the at least one axis.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display two axes each including an action element on the screen.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the list of selectable attributes is displayed in a dropdown box.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the subset of data is displayed as one of a bar graph and a pie graph.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the enterprise data is stored in a cloud, and the tablet device is a mobile device.
10 . A computing device, comprising:
a memory, and
a processor, configured to:
retrieve a data object including an enterprise data from a database;
display at least one axis including at least one action element associated with the at least one axis on a screen;
responsive to a user selection of the at least one action element, display a list of selectable attributes of the data; and
responsive to selecting an attribute from the list of attributes, display a subset of the data reflecting the selected attribute.
11 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the retrieved data is stored in the memory.
12 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the computing device in one of a tablet computer and smart phone.
13 . The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the tablet device includes a touch screen.
14 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the action element is a push button displayed on the at least one axis on the touch screen and wherein the action element is activated by a user tapping the push button.
15 . The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the displayed at least one axis is the action element, and wherein the action element is activated by a user tapping on the at least one axis.
16 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to display two axes each including an action element on the screen.
17 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the list of selectable attributes is displayed in a dropdown box.
18 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the subset of data is displayed as one of a bar graph and a pie graph.
19 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the enterprise data is stored in a cloud, and the computing device is a mobile device.
20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a processing device on a device having a screen interface, cause the processing device to:
retrieve a data object including an enterprise data from a database;
display at least one axis including at least one action element associated with the at least one axis on a screen;
responsive to a user selection of the at least one action element, display a list of selectable attributes of the data; and
responsive to selecting an attribute from the list of attributes, display a subset of the data reflecting the selected attribute.
