Abstract
A facility for adjusting a display of a result of searching a property database is described. The facility, after displaying a list of properties satisfying a search filter, allows a user to specify property attributes the values of which are not currently shown for the properties, and redisplays the list of properties by additionally showing the values of those property attributes for the properties.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
- causing, by the computing system, display a first version of a table showing first results of searching a real estate database, wherein each row of the first version of the table:
- corresponds to a real estate property, and
- displays one or more attributes of that real estate property;
- receiving a selection of one or more additional attributes which are not in the displayed one or more attributes in the first version of the table;
- and
- causing, by the computing system, display of a second version of the table showing the first results of searching the real estate database, wherein the second version of the table displays additional columns corresponding to the one or more additional attributes.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process comprising:
- causing, by the computing system, display of a first version of a table showing first results of searching a real estate database, wherein each row of the first version of the table:
- corresponds to a real estate property, and
- displays one or more attributes of that real estate property;
- receiving a selection of one or more additional attributes which are not in the displayed one or more attributes in the first version of the table;
- and
- causing, by the computing system, display of a second version of the table showing two or more of the first results of searching the real estate database, wherein the second version of the table displays additional columns corresponding to the one or more additional attributes.
A method, in a computing system, for displaying electronic records of real estate properties identified as satisfying search criteria, the method comprising:
- displaying a first version of a table with results of searching a real estate property database;
- receiving a selection of additional property attributes;
- and
- in response to receiving the selection of additional property attributes, adjusting the display of the first version of the table to show a second version of the table,
- wherein the second version of the table shows the results from the first version of the table a) with two or more of the rows from the first version of the table and b) with additional columns corresponding to the selected additional property attributes.
