Abstract
A method is described in which the method visualizes a hierarchical representation of one or more related items and sub-items, wherein at least one of the items has a sub-item that is subservient to the item. The method displays the hierarchical representation in a tree structure, wherein at least one of the items and its sub-item are displayed as being subservient to the item by associating a symbol to represent the item as having a sub-item. The method further displays the tree structure to include a check-box for each of the items and sub-items, wherein the check-box of each of the items and sub-items contains a value.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- visualizing a hierarchical representation of one or more related items and sub-items, wherein at least one of said items has a sub-item that is subservient to said item;
- displaying said hierarchical representation in a tree structure, wherein said at least one of said items and its sub-item is displayed as being subservient to said item by associating a symbol to represent said item as having a sub-item;
- and
- further displaying said tree structure to include a check-box for each of said items and sub-items, wherein said check-box of each of said items and sub-items contains a value.
A computing system comprising a virtual machine, a plurality of processors and instructions disposed on a computer readable medium, said instructions capable of being interpreted by said virtual machine to perform a method, said method comprising:
- visualizing a hierarchical representation of one or more related items and sub-items, wherein at least one of said items has a sub-item that is subservient to said item;
- displaying said hierarchical representation in a tree structure, wherein said at least one of said items and its sub-item is displayed as being subservient to said item by associating a symbol to represent said item as having a sub-item;
- and
- further displaying said tree structure to include a check-box for each of said items and sub-items, wherein said check-box of each of said items and sub-items contains a value.
An article of manufacture including program code which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
- visualizing a hierarchical representation of one or more related items and sub-items, wherein at least one of said items has a sub-item that is subservient to said item;
- displaying said hierarchical representation in a tree structure, wherein said at least one of said items and its sub-item is displayed as being subservient to said item by associating a symbol to represent said item as having a sub-item;
- and
- further displaying said tree structure to include a check-box for each of said items and sub-items, wherein said check-box of each of said items and sub-items contains a value.
