Abstract
Various arrangements for creating a pivot table are presented. A set of stored records may be accessed. A plurality of stored records from the set of stored records may be selected to be represented in a plurality of cells of the pivot table. A graphical representation may be generated for display for each stored record of the plurality of stored records. Each graphical representation may be generated for display within a cell of the plurality of cells of the pivot table. Each graphical representation of the pivot table is actively linked with the corresponding stored record.
Claims20
A method for creating a pivot table, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a computer system, a set of stored records;
- determining, by the computer system, a plurality of stored records from the set of stored records to be represented in a plurality of cells of the pivot table;
- and
- generating, by the computer system, for display, the pivot table that comprises a graphical representation for each stored record of the plurality of stored records, wherein
- each graphical representation is generated for display within the plurality of cells of the pivot table, and
- each graphical representation of the pivot table is actively linked with a corresponding stored record, wherein a modification made to the graphical representation is reflected in data of the corresponding stored record.
A computer program product residing on a non-transitory processor-readable medium for creating a pivot table, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions configured to cause a computer to:
- access a set of stored records;
- determine a plurality of stored records from the set of stored records to be represented in a plurality of cells of the pivot table;
- generate for display, the pivot table that comprises a graphical representation for each stored record of the plurality of stored records, wherein
- each graphical representation is generated for display within a cell of the plurality of cells of the pivot table, and
- each graphical representation of the pivot table is actively linked with the corresponding stored record, wherein a modification made to the graphical representation is reflected in data of the corresponding stored record;
- receive input selecting a graphical representation displayed within the pivot table;
- access the stored record that is actively linked to the graphical representation;
- and
- output for display data of the stored record.
A system for creating a pivot table, the system comprising:
- a computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the processor and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- access a set of stored records;
- determine a plurality of stored records from the set of stored records to be represented in a plurality of cells of the pivot table;
- and
- generate for display, the pivot table that comprises a graphical representation for each stored record of the plurality of stored records, wherein
- each graphical representation is generated for display within the plurality of cells of the pivot table, and
- each graphical representation of the pivot table is actively linked with a corresponding stored record, wherein a modification made to the graphical representation is reflected in data of the corresponding stored record.
