Methods and systems for simplified point-and-click data entry

A method of entering data in a computer application comprising:

• (i) displaying a list of first values on a graphical user interface;
• (ii) selecting a first value;
• (iii) displaying a list of second values in increments greater than one on the graphical user interface after selecting one of said first values;
• (iv) selecting one of the second values;
• and
• (v) displaying a second value increase/decrease feature that allows the second value to be adjusted in increments of one at any point in the data entry procedure.

A computer-readable medium which stores a set of instructions which, when executed, performs a method for facilitating the entry of data through a user interface, the computer-readable medium executed by the set of instructions comprising:

• (i) receiving, on a client, first content data and second content data from a server, the first content data configured to cause a first window to be displayed on the client, the first window requiring the user to enter information into at least one field wherein, to enter information into the at least one field, a second window may be opened using the second content data, the second window being operative to receive data input by the user;
• (ii) displaying in the second window a list of first values from which the user may select, and further providing a first value increase/decrease feature allowing the user to incrementally raise or lower the selected first value at any step in the data entry process;
• and
• (iii) automatically displaying in the second window, after the user has selected a first value from the list of first values, a list of second values from which the user may select a second value, and further providing a second value increase/decrease feature allowing the user to incrementally raise or lower the selected second value at any step in the data entry process;
• and
• (iv) transmitting the selected first value and second value from the second window to the server.

A system for entering data in a computer application comprising:

• a graphical user interface operative to:
• (i) display a list of first values from which a user may select a first value;
• (ii) simultaneously display a list of second values from which the user may select a second value;
• and
• (iii) simultaneously display a second value increase/decrease feature which the user may engage to incrementally increase or decrease the second value at any point in the data entry process;
• and
• (iv) simultaneously display a link that the user may engage to finalize the data entry process.
