Navigating and interacting with hierarchical lists

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium is provisioned with program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a client station to:

• receive, via a user interface of the client station, first user input indicating a request to assign a value to a given data record;
• based on the request, identify a first set of values that may be assigned to the given data record, wherein each value in the first set corresponds to a first hierarchical tier of values;
• display a user interface view that enables selection of values from the first set of values;
• receive second user input indicating selection of a first value that comprises either (i) a given value from the first set of values or (ii) a given value from a second set of values displayed in response to a query for values that may be assigned to the given data record;
• based on receiving the second user input, identify a third set of values that may be assigned to the given data record, wherein each value in the third set corresponds to a second hierarchical tier of values related to the first hierarchical tier of values;
• display an updated user interface view that enables selection of values from the third set of values;
• receive third user input indicating selection of a second value that comprises a given value from the third set of values;
• and
• based on the second user input and the third user input, cause the first and second values to be assigned to the given data record.

A method carried out by a client station, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a user interface of the client station, first user input indicating a request to assign a value to a given data record;
• based on the request, identifying a first set of values that may be assigned to the given data record, wherein each value in the first set corresponds to a first hierarchical tier of values;
• displaying a user interface view that enables selection of values from the first set of values;
• receiving second user input indicating selection of a first value that comprises either (i) a given value from the first set of values or (ii) a given value from a second set of values displayed in response to a query for values that may be assigned to the given data record;
• based on receiving the second user input, identifying a third set of values that may be assigned to the given data record, wherein each value in the third set corresponds to a second hierarchical tier of values related to the first hierarchical tier of values;
• displaying an updated user interface view that enables selection of values from the third set of values;
• receiving third user input indicating selection of a second value that comprises a given value from the third set of values;
• and
• based on the second user input and the third user input, causing the first and second values to be assigned to the given data record.
