  • Publication number: 20120117089
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to organizing reporting data from various sources such as frames into a storyboard view with additional metadata that is specific to the storyboard and to sharing and/or exporting a storyboard sequence of reporting frames. In an embodiment, a computer system accesses various portions of reporting data. The reporting data includes source data, relevant data states and metadata describing properties of the associated report. The computer system organizes the reporting data into multiple reporting frames according to various organizing criteria. Each reporting frame is incorporated into a storyboard interface. The computer system also displays the storyboard interface which includes each of the reporting frames organized according the organizing criteria.

  • Patent number: 7640252
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating prediction queries to help a user build and execute prediction queries. A user interface (UI) is provided that is easy to use and understand in connection with the generation of a prediction query for data mining. The UI can be instantiated from a variety of disparate sources that may request query building services. While prediction queries and relational queries are quite different, the UI enables prediction queries to be built in a manner that is similar to the way relational queries are built. In one embodiment, the main screen of the UI includes four main components: (1) a table column mapping area, (3) a selection grid area, (4) a query text display area and (5) a query result grid area. In one embodiment, the query text display area and the query result grid area are initially not presented to the user.
