Abstract: Data records with one or more data objects are displayed according to layout rules on a computer user interface. The data objects associated with the record are identified, layout rules for the one or more data objects of the record are accessed and a layout is calculated based at least in part a uniqueness coefficient of the one or more data objects. The data objects are then displayed on the computer interface according to the determined layout.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes receiving a data filter from a first panel of filtering categories. The data filter is applied to a dataset wherein a resulting data subset is created. One or more further data filters is displayed within a nested second panel of filtering categories.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to associate different entities with different entity classes. Each entity class has an associated set of lenses. Each lens includes metadata characterizing data presentation directives. User criteria is analyzed to deliver a subset of lenses to a user. Each lens includes executable instructions to display to a user a subset of information from a data source in accordance with the data presentation directives.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes computer executable instructions to receive an action originated from a client application of a business intelligence system. Data providing context about the action is received from the business intelligence system. The action is passed to a business process system or a data source, such that the action is substantially completed within the business process system or the data source.

Abstract: A computer readable storage medium includes computer executable instructions to receive an action type. A set of logic is associated with the action type. An action is defined based on the action type. The action includes a further set of logic that extends the set of logic associated with the action type. A mapping of data from a report to a target object is received in a business intelligence system. The mapping is included in the further set of logic. The action is associated with the report. The action is routed to a target system outside the business intelligence system.
