Abstract

Embodiments are directed to managing visualizations of data using a network computer. A modeling engine may provide a data model that includes a plurality of data objects and a display model that includes a plurality of display objects based on the plurality of data objects. Parameter action objects may be associated with display objects in the display model. In response to an activation of the parameter action objects, values associated with display objects may be assigned to the parameter associated with a parameter action object and actions associated with the parameter may be executed to modify the display model.

Claims (82)

1. A method for managing visualizations of data using one or more processors that execute instructions to perform actions, comprising:

providing one or more parameter objects that are associated with one or more display objects of a display model, wherein the display model is based on a data model;

providing one or more action objects that are associated with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more action objects are associated with one or more events;

displaying a visualization based on the one or more display objects; and

in response to occurrence of an event, performing further actions, including:

determining a portion of the one or more action objects associated with the event; determining a portion of the one or more parameter objects based on the portion of the action objects;

generating one or more parameter display objects based on the portion of action objects and the portion of the parameter objects;

generating one or more parameter visualizations based on the one or more parameter display objects, wherein the visualization is modified to include the one or more parameter visualizations; and

displaying the modified visualization.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the one or more parameter display objects, further comprises:

determining one or more data objects that are associated with the portion of the parameter objects based on the display model and the data model;

determining one or more partial values based on the one or more data objects; and

employing the one or more partial values to generate the one or more parameter display objects.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, triggering the event based on one or more user interactions associated with a display object associated with a parameter object, wherein the one or more user actions include one or more of selecting the display object, hovering over the display object, or selecting one or more other associated display objects.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, triggering the event based on one or more changes to one or more values associated with one or more data objects, wherein the one or more data objects are associated with the portion of the parameter objects.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing one or more parameter objects, further comprises, associating one or more display object fields with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more display object fields are associated with the one or more display objects.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing one or more parameter objects, further comprises, associating one or more data object fields with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more data object fields are associated with one or more data objects that are associated with the one or more display objects.

7. A system for managing visualizations of data:

a network computer, comprising:

a transceiver that communicates over the network;

a memory that stores at least instructions; and

one or more processors that execute instructions that perform actions, including:

providing one or more parameter objects that are associated with one or more display objects of a display model, wherein the display model is based on a data model;

providing one or more action objects that are associated with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more action objects are associated with one or more events;

displaying a visualization based on the one or more display objects; and

in response to occurrence of an event, performing further actions, including:

determining a portion of the one or more action objects associated with the event;

determining a portion of the one or more parameter objects based on the portion of the action objects;

generating one or more parameter display objects based on the portion of action objects and the portion of the parameter objects;

generating one or more parameter visualizations based on the one or more parameter display objects, wherein the visualization is modified to include the one or more parameter visualizations; and

displaying the modified visualization; and

a client computer, comprising:

a transceiver that communicates over the network;

a memory that stores at least instructions; and

one or more processors that execute instructions that perform actions, including:

providing the occurrence of the event.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein generating the one or more parameter display objects, further comprises:

determining one or more data objects that are associated with the portion of the parameter objects based on the display model and the data model;

determining one or more partial values based on the one or more data objects; and

employing the one or more partial values to generate the one or more parameter display objects.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the network computer one or more processors execute instructions that perform actions, triggering the event based on one or more user interactions associated with a display object associated with a parameter object, wherein the one or more user actions include one or more of selecting the display object, hovering over the display object, or selecting one or more other associated display objects.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the network computer one or more processors execute instructions that perform actions, further comprising, triggering the event based on one or more changes to one or more values associated with one or more data objects, wherein the one or more data objects are associated with the portion of the parameter objects.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein providing one or more parameter objects, further comprises, associating one or more display object fields with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more display object fields are associated with the one or more display objects.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein providing one or more parameter objects, further comprises, associating one or more data object fields with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more data object fields are associated with one or more data objects that are associated with the one or more display objects.

13. A processor readable non-transitory storage media that includes instructions for managing visualizations of data, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors on one or more network computers performs actions, comprising:

providing one or more parameter objects that are associated with one or more display objects of a display model, wherein the display model is based on a data model;

providing one or more action objects that are associated with the one or more parameter objects, wherein the one or more action objects are associated with one or more events;

displaying a visualization based on the one or more display objects; and

in response to occurrence of an event, performing further actions, including:

determining a portion of the one or more action objects associated with the event; determining a portion of the one or more parameter objects based on the portion of the action objects;

generating one or more parameter display objects based on the portion of action objects and the portion of the parameter objects;

generating one or more parameter visualizations based on the one or more parameter display objects, wherein the visualization is modified to include the one or more parameter visualizations; and

displaying the modified visualization.

14. The media of claim 13 , wherein generating the one or more parameter display objects, further comprises:
