US 2016/0103903 A1 · SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR GENERATION OF CONTEXTUAL OBJECTS MAPPED BY DIMENSIONAL DATA TO DATA MEASURES

Abstract

This disclosure in part describes systems, devices, and methods for implementing a unification mechanism that enables the unification of various data sets, which can permit greater collaboration between users of a data management platform. For example, a system can be configured to enable a user to add or associate a contextual object with a data measure. In associating the contextual object with the data measure, the system can store the contextual object with a parameter indicative of the unique dimension coordinates that are associated with the data measure. Other users of the system may, in turn, access the data measure and be shown the contextual object associated with the data measure.

A system for linking contextual objects with data measures mapped to a multi-dimensional data model and retrieving the contextual objects from a memory device according to links between the contextual objects and the data measures, the system comprising:

a hardware processor in communication with a display, the hardware processor being configured to:
generate a user interface and output the user interface to the display for presentation to a user of a plurality of users, the user interface comprising:
a first area comprising a chart graphically depicting values of data measures mapped to a multi-dimensional data model, the multi-dimensional data model configured for access by online analytical processing applications,
a second area comprising a table displaying the values of the data measures and a plurality of indications, an x-axis of the table corresponding to a first dimension for the data measures and a y-axis of the table corresponding to a second dimension for the data measures, the first dimension being different from the second dimension, each of the plurality of indications being associated with at least one of the data measures and displayed in the table alongside the value of the associated at least one of the data measures, each of at least some of the plurality of indications being associated with a different contextual object of a plurality of contextual objects, the plurality of contextual objects facilitating communication between the plurality of users around the data measures associated with plurality of indications, and
a third area comprising a navigation control button and a task control button,
wherein the user interface provides functionality for the user to:
select one of the plurality of indications to cause the user interface to display a fourth area providing contextual object data for a first contextual object of the plurality of contextual objects, the first contextual object being associated with the selected indication, and
select the navigation control button and the task control button to alter the first area or the second area.
