A graphical user interface for creating a data summary table, the user interface comprising:
- a data summary table including a plurality of fields;
- and
- a filtering pane programmed to apply filters to items in the fields of the data summary table, the filtering pane including a field selector control, wherein the field selector control is programmed to allow for selection of a field of the fields in the data summary table to define filtering for the field.
In a computer system having a graphical user interface for a data summary table, a method comprising:
- allowing selection of a field from a plurality of fields;
- presenting filtering options for the field;
- associating selected filtering with the field;
- and
- thereafter, applying the selected filtering to items in the field when the field is added to a data summary table.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:
- allowing selection of a field from a plurality of fields;
- presenting filtering options for the field;
- associating selected filtering with the field;
- and
