Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing data in a grid. In one example approach, a method comprises importing data from a data source to a range of cells in a grid, where the range of cells is specified by a notation input associated with the grid, and where the notation input includes a key specifying the data source and security information associated with the data source.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- importing data from a data source to a range of cells in a first grid, where the range of cells is specified by a first key in a first notation input associated with the first grid, where the range of cells is indicated for a destination of data from the data source, and where the notation input includes a second key specifying the data source,
- wherein the first notation input further comprises references to one or more reference cells of the grid different from the range of cells, the reference cells containing parameters which dynamically filter the data being imported;
- in response to a second user input in the first grid, navigating a user to a second grid different from the first grid, wherein the second grid comprises a second set of data imported from the same or a different data source;
- wherein the second set of data imported from the same or the different source is related and non-identical to the data imported into the range of cells in the first grid.

A method, comprising:
- importing data from a data source to a range of cells in a grid, where the range of cells is specified by a first key in a notation input associated with the grid, where the range of cells is indicated for destination of data from the data source, and where the notation input includes a second key specifying the data source and security information associated with the data source;
- receiving the notation input associated with the grid, the notation input including the first key specifying the data source and the second key specifying at least one destination grid, wherein the notation input includes references to one or more reference cells of the grid different from the range of cells, the reference cells containing parameters which dynamically filter the data being imported;
- in response to a receipt of authentication credentials from a user, performing one or more of importing data from the data source to a range of cells in the at least one destination grid based on the notation input and updating data from the range of cells in the at least one destination grid to the data source in response to a user input.
A computing device, comprising:
- a logic subsystem;
- and
- a data holding subsystem comprising machine-readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by the logic subsystem to:
- send a display of a first grid to a client device;
- receive a notation input associated with the first grid from the client device, the notation input including a key specifying an external data source, a key or an address specifying at least one destination grid, and references to one or more reference cells of the first grid different from a range of cells, the reference cells containing one or more parameters which specify filtering options, wherein the parameters dynamically filter the data as it is imported;
- in response to a first user input, perform one or more of importing data from the external data source to a range of cells in the at least one destination grid, where the range of cells in the at least one destination grid is specified by the notation input, and
- in response to a second user input, updating data from the range of cells in the at least one destination grid to the external data source.
