Methods and systems for multi-dimensional aggregation using composition

A system for multi-dimensional aggregation using user interface workflow composition, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of instructions executable by the processor to provide a server application configured to:
• based on a request from a client to apply an aggregation function selected from a plurality of functions to a selected parent object related to children objects:
• determine a number of levels for multi-dimensional aggregation associated with the selected parent object, wherein each level of the multi-dimensional aggregation is based on a corresponding level of the selected parent object to the children objects;
• for each level of the multi-dimensional aggregation from a first level to a penultimate level of multi-dimensional aggregation, retrieve data to be aggregated for that level for each parent object in a next level of multi-dimensional aggregation, aggregate the retrieved data corresponding to each parent object in the next level of the multi-dimensional aggregation to generate aggregated data for that level and output the aggregated data for that level for use in the next level of multi-dimensional aggregation;
• and
• for a final level of multi-dimensional aggregation, retrieve data to be aggregated for the final level, the data to be aggregated for the final level comprising data of the selected parent object and aggregated data output from the penultimate level, generate aggregated data for the final level of multi-dimensional aggregation and output the aggregated data for the final level of multi-dimensional aggregation to the user interface.
