Abstract
A time-sensitive cube data system is disclosed in which time-sensitive and/or time-series data objects are output in response to a user's operations on a time-sensitive OLAP cube. The time-sensitive and/or time-series data objects output by the time-sensitive cube data system may be displayed to the user in any way that may be advantageous to the user's understanding. The time-series objects output by the time-sensitive cube data system are more helpful than a single snapshot, as a user is able to see data trends over time.
Claims20
A computer system comprising:
- a computer processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to configure the computer processor to:
- generate a graphical user interface including at least a representation of a plurality of dimensions of a multidimensional data set;
- receive, via the graphical user interface, a selection of at least two dimensions of the multidimensional data set;
- determine a plurality of data objects each corresponding to different combinations of values of the selected dimensions;
- generate a plurality of two-dimensional graphs that are spatially positioned in a single graphical user interface view, wherein:
- each of the two-dimensional graphs is generated based on data associated with a respective one of the plurality of data objects,
- each of the two-dimensional graphs comprises a respective x-axis and a respective y-axis,
- the x-axes of the two-dimensional graphs each have a first common scale and a first common interval,
- the y-axes of the two-dimensional graphs each have a second common scale and a second common interval, and
- data represented in each respective two-dimensional graph is shown according to the first common scale and the first common interval of the x-axes and the second common scale and the second common interval of the y-axes;
- and
- update the graphical user interface to display the single graphical user interface view including the plurality of two-dimensional graphs,
- wherein:
