Abstract
Provided are systems and methods that are directed to a pop-up insertion window for simplifying a user interaction when inputting data into a table. In one example, the method may include storing tables of data in memory, displaying a plurality of rows of data from a table among the tables of data stored within the memory via a user interface of a software application, receiving a request to add a row to the table, displaying a pop-up window via the user interface, the pop-up window comprising a plurality of fields for inputting data and an input button, receiving input content via the plurality of fields within the pop-up window, and inserting a new row with the received input content into the plurality of rows of data displayed via the user interface, in response to a command via the user interface.
Claims17
A computing system comprising:
- a memory configured to store tables of data;
- and
- a processor communicably coupled to the memory and configured to:
- display a plurality of rows of data from a table among the tables of data stored within the memory via a user interface of a software application,
- receive a request to add a row to the table based on an input on the user interface,
- determine whether the user interface is full in response to the input, and, in response to determining that the user interface is full,
- display a pop-up window via the user interface, the pop-up window comprising a plurality of fields for inputting data and an input button,
- receive input content via the plurality of fields within the pop-up window, and
- insert a new row with the received input content into the plurality of rows of data displayed via the user interface, in response to a command via the pop-up window.
A method comprising:
- storing tables of data in memory;
- displaying a plurality of rows of data from a table among the tables of data stored within the memory via a user interface of a software application;
- receiving a request to add a row to the table based on an input on the user interface;
- determine whether the user interface is full in response to the input, and, in response to determining that the user interface is full:
- displaying a pop-up window via the user interface, the pop-up window comprising a plurality of fields for inputting data and an input button;
- receiving input content via the plurality of fields within the pop-up window;
- and
- inserting a new row with the received input content into the plurality of rows of data displayed via the user interface, in response to a command via the pop-up window.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions which when executed by a processor cause a computer to perform a method comprising:
- storing tables of data in memory;
- displaying a plurality of rows of data from a table among the tables of data stored within the memory via a user interface of a software application;
- receiving a request to add a row to the table based on an input on the user interface;
- determine whether the user interface is full in response to the input, and, in response to determining that the user interface is full:
- displaying a pop-up window via the user interface, the pop-up window comprising a plurality of fields for inputting data and an input button;
- receiving input content via the plurality of fields within the pop-up window;
- and
- inserting a new row with the received input content into the plurality of rows of data displayed via the user interface, in response to a command via the pop-up window.
