Digital product navigation tool

A computer-implemented process of generating user-navigable, graphical representations, comprising:

• generating, by a graphical user interface, a control pane and a diagram pane for output to a computer display, wherein:
• the control pane graphically depicts control objects that are each associated with a different viewpoint of digital products;
• and
• the diagram pane displays graphical representations based upon a user-selected control object in the control pane;
• generating, by the graphical user interface in the diagram pane, a hierarchical view of digital products, where each digital product is comprised of computer readable information and is graphically associated with a node, wherein lines visually interconnect nodes based upon determined hierarchical relationships between the digital products, the hierarchical view having an upper layer of company nodes corresponding to a parent/child company hierarchy, a middle layer of digital products represented as a parent/child products hierarchy, and a lower layer of plan nodes corresponding to a plan layer, where the lowest branch in the products hierarchy ends in a plan;
• receiving, via the graphical user interface, a user selection of a node displayed within the diagram pane, designating a user-selected digital product;
• and
• performing, based upon a user-selected control object in the control pane and the user selected node:
• decomposing the digital product into an entity diagram of entity nodes connected by lines, where the entity nodes are defined based upon the viewpoint associated with the user-selected control object;
• and
• presenting, via the graphical user interface, the entity diagram in the diagram pane;
• performing, responsive to a first user input selecting an entity node, displaying predefined summary level fields with data values specific to the user-selected digital product and entity node;
• performing, responsive to a second user input selecting the entity node, drilling down into the user-selected entity node and presenting information specific to the computer readable information associated with the user-selected entity node;
• displaying, upon detecting a first user selection of a company node, a number of overridden rules for all products associated with the user-selected company node, a number of policies associated with the user-selected company node, or both;
• displaying, upon detecting a first user selection of a product node, a number of overridden rules for the user-selected product node, a number of policies associated with the user-selected product node, or both;
• and
• displaying, upon detecting a first user selection of a plan node, a number of overridden rules for the user-selected plan node, a number of policies associated with the user-selected plan node, or both.

• the control pane graphically depicts control objects that are each associated with a different viewpoint of digital products;
• and
• the diagram pane displays graphical representations based upon a user-selected control object in the control pane;
• initially displaying in the diagram pane, a hierarchical view of digital products by:
• presenting, via the graphical user interface, a product hierarchy diagram in the diagram pane, wherein digital products are visually represented as nodes, and
• receiving, via the graphical user interface, a user selection of a node displayed within the diagram pane, designating the user-selected digital product;
• generating, by the graphical user interface in the diagram pane, a view of the user-selected digital product, where computer readable information associated with the user-selected digital product is graphically associated with nodes and lines visually interconnect nodes based upon determined relationships therebetween;
• performing, based upon a user-selected control object in the control pane and the user selected node:
• decomposing the digital product into an entity diagram of entity nodes connected by lines, where the entity nodes are defined based upon the viewpoint associated with the user-selected control object by:
• defining a viewpoint as a transaction fund context;
• and
• generating the entity diagram, the entity diagram generated to graphically diagram:
• grand-parent funds within a current scope as nodes;
• transactions within the current scope as nodes;
• configured objects that access a corresponding one of the grand-parent funds as nodes;
• and
• lines that interconnect grand-parent funds, transactions, and configured objects;
• and
• presenting, via the graphical user interface, the entity diagram in the diagram pane.
