Abstract
A contextual navigation and action user experience framework that facilitates workflows across multiple contexts and levels of object hierarchy is disclosed. Exemplary features include a swapper interface, an action toolbar with contextual buttons and contextual tabs, and a toolkit that provides an overview portal to view alerts, cross reference information, and perform actions on objects and insights that are important to the user across an entire product suite.
Claims20
A method for bypassing data hierarchies in providing data associated with objects, the method comprising:
- providing, using one or more computing device processors, a primary set of objects;
- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of a first object from the primary set of objects;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first object from the primary set of objects, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, a secondary set of objects based on the selection of the first object from the primary set of objects, wherein the secondary set of objects comprises a set of target communicators, communications, or campaigns;
- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of a second object from the secondary set of objects;
- in response to receiving the selection of the second object from the secondary set of objects, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, data associated with the second object, wherein the data associated with the second object comprises a first data hierarchy associated with the second object;
- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of first category data from the data associated with the second object;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first category data from the data associated with the second object, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, the first category data associated with the second object;
- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of a third object from the secondary set of objects;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the third object from the secondary set of objects, bypassing, using the one or more computing device processors, a second data hierarchy associated with the third object and providing, using the one or more computing device processors, first category data associated with the third object without providing data associated with the third object and without receiving a selection of the first category data associated with the third object, wherein the first category data is available for the third object.

An apparatus for bypassing data hierarchies in providing data associated with objects, the apparatus comprising one or more computing device processors configured to:
- provide a primary set of objects, wherein the primary set of objects comprises a set of communicator hubs;
- receive a selection of a first object from the primary set of objects;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first object from the primary set of objects, provide a secondary set of objects based on the selection of the first object from the primary set of objects;
- receive a selection of a second object from the secondary set of objects;
- in response to receiving the selection of the second object from the secondary set of objects, provide data associated with the second object;
- receive a selection of first category data from the data associated with the second object, wherein the data associated with the second object comprises a first data hierarchy associated with the second object;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first category data from the data associated with the second object, provide the first category data associated with the second object;
- receive a selection of a third object from the secondary set of objects;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the third object from the secondary set of objects, bypass a second data hierarchy associated with the third object and provide first category data associated with the third object without providing data associated with the third object and without receiving a selection of the first category data associated with the third object, wherein the first category data is available for the third object.

- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of first category data from the data associated with the second object;
- in response to receiving the selection of the first category data from the data associated with the second object, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, the first category data associated with the second object;
- receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a selection of a third object from the secondary set of objects;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of the third object from the secondary set of objects, bypassing, using the one or more computing device processors, a second data hierarchy associated with the third object and providing, using the one or more computing device processors, first category data associated with the third object without receiving a selection of the first category data associated with the third object, wherein the first category data is available for the third object.
