Abstract
A computer-implemented user interface includes at least two hierarchically related element nodes. One node is a parent element node that is associated with a first set of property value components. Another node is a child element node that is associated with a second set of property value components. The first set of property value components is different than the second set. A property value component contained in at least one of the first and second sets is directly identified with a property identifier.
Claims20
A computer-implemented user interface that includes at least two hierarchically related element nodes, wherein the user interface comprises:
- a parent element node associated with a first set of property value components;
- and
- a child element node associated with a second set of property value components, wherein the first set of property value components is different than the second set, and wherein a property value component contained in at least one of the first and second sets is directly identified with a property identifier.
A computer-implemented user interface that includes an element node configured to display property information that is relevant a particular element, wherein the element node comprises:
- a first property value component that is positioned such that a corresponding characteristic is identifiable by an identifier that is aligned in a same column of a table;
- and
- at least one additional property value component that is positioned such that no corresponding characteristic is identifiable by an identifier that is aligned in a same column of a table.
A computer-implemented method for displaying property information through a user interface, the method comprising:
- providing an element node that contains a first property name that is positioned proximate to a first property value component;
- and
- depending on a value associated with the first property value component, altering the configuration of the element node so as to impact changes that can be made within the element node.
