Abstract: A system for traversing between nodes within a user interface receives a directional command from a user. The directional command is a command to move a focus away from a current node. The system also determines a next node to move the focus onto. The determining the next node is based on the relative positioning between the current node and the other nodes. The determining the next node is based on previous movements of the focus that were performed prior to moving the focus onto the current node. The system also performs movement of the focus from the current node onto the next node.

Abstract: A system and method for transitioning a displayed visualization from a first state to a second state. An example method includes displaying an orbit visualization characterized by a first state, wherein the orbit visualization includes a parent node and one or more child nodes positioned about a first orbit path that at least partially circumscribes the parent node; selectively initiating navigation of the orbit visualization; transitioning display of the parent node and one or more child nodes in accordance with the navigation by animating repositioning of the parent node and the one or more child nodes on a user interface display screen, such that a resulting node positioning characterizes the orbit visualization in the second state representative of a navigated-to location. The navigation may represent a downward or upward navigation of hierarchically related data, such that the animation illustrates separation of one or more petals from a selected node or movement toward the selected node, respectively.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating preservation of context information during navigation of a visualization. An example method includes representing hierarchical data via an orbit visualization; providing a first user option to navigate to a child node selected from among the one or more child nodes of the orbit visualization; and updating the orbit visualization in response to user selection of the first user option, resulting in an updated orbit visualization, wherein the updated orbit visualization includes a parent node positioned at a periphery of the visualization, and wherein the selected child node is positioned as a new central node of the updated orbit visualization. A carousel control may be displayed concurrently with the orbit visualization, wherein the carousel control includes one or more user options to navigate to a previously navigated-to node of the orbit visualization.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating graphically conveying information via a visualization. An example method includes accessing a first set of data characterized by hierarchically related data objects; representing a first object as a first central node in a visualization; displaying one or more additional second objects via one or more second nodes that are positioned on a first orbit path around the central node; determining if an additional object of the one or more second objects exhibits a superior hierarchical relationship relative to one or more third objects; and then illustrating the one or more third objects as petals that are circumferentially displayed about one or more outer edges of one or more nodes of the one or more second objects. The example method further includes enabling conversion of petals to planet nodes that orbit one of the second nodes.

Abstract: A chain visualization shows cards representing first, second and third hierarchical data items from a database. The second data item descends from the first. The third descends from the second. The visualization shows an ancestors chain, a descendants chain, and an active item location where the chains meet. The visualization shows a card visually associated with the ancestors chain for the first data item, a card in the active item location for the second data item, and a card visually associated with the descendants chain for the third data item. The cards present information from the data items. When a card is activated, it moves to the active item location. A descendant data item, descending from the new active item, is retrieved from the database. A card representing the descendant data item is displayed as visually associated with the descendants chain.

Abstract: Implementations generally relate to the generation of tile visualization for interactively displaying data on a user device. In some implementations, a method includes retrieving hierarchical data from a data storage system, including one or more first data items and one or more second data items descended from at least one of the first data items. The method further includes generating for display a main window including at least a portion of the hierarchical data. The method further includes enabling a user to select one or more of the first data items or the second data items. The method further includes generating for display a drawer window upon activation of a drawer function. The method further includes causing the selected data items to be displayed in the drawer window.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating interacting with data and/or functionality via a visualization. An example method includes determining number of hierarchical levels to display in an orbit visualization; displaying the number of hierarchical levels via one or more nodes and one or more orbit paths, wherein each child node of a parent node of the one or more nodes is confined to one or more orbit paths that at least partially circumscribe the parent node; providing a first user option to navigate downward or upward in the hierarchy, at least in part via user selection of a node of the orbit visualization; and selectively updating the orbit visualization in response to user selection of the first user option so that a resulting updated visualization illustrates a navigated-to location, wherein the updated visualization illustrates the number of hierarchical levels.

Abstract: A chain visualization represents first, second and third hierarchical data items from a database. The second data item descends from the first. The third descends from the second. The visualization shows an ancestors chain and a descendants chain. It has an active item location where the chains meet. The visualization shows a card linked to the ancestors chain for the first data item, a card in the active item location for the second data item, and a card linked to the descendants chain for the third data item. Users may navigate upwards or downwards in the hierarchy by activating any card outside the active item location. Users may stack cards to save screen space, and users may scroll to view different parts of the hierarchy. Users may edit information from data items represented by the cards.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for locating data and categorizing a set of data using inverted indexes. The inverted indexes include token entries and field-value pair entries, as well as event references that correspond to events that include raw machine data. Using filter criteria, the inverted indexes are identified. In turn, the inverted indexes are used to identify a set of events that satisfy the filter criteria. The identified set of events are categorized based on categorization criteria and provided for display to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sampling a set of data using inverted indexes in response to a user interaction with a user interface. Based on the user interaction with a displayed grouping of a summarization of a set of data, the system uses filter criteria corresponding to the grouping to review one or more inverted indexes and identify a sample of events for analysis. The system then accesses the sample of events and provides the results for display to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed involving user interface (UI) search tools for locating data, including tools for summarizing indexed raw machine data that organize and present results to enable expansion and exploration of initial summarizations. The initial summarizations may be explored and refined to help users determine how to identify and best focus a search on data subsets of greater interest.

Abstract: A tile visualization has a window with a swim lane area and a panel area for displaying tiles that represent hierarchical data items. Tiles may be styled as cards. The swim lane displays an active tile and its immediate ancestors in a row or column. The active tile may be identified by a visual indicator. The panel displays one or more levels of the active tile's descendants. The descendants may be arranged in a matrix, or in columns each headed by an immediate descendant. The swim lane and panel are scrollable. A user can navigate up in the hierarchy by activating a tile in the swim lane, or down by activating a tile in the panel. Users may select one or more tiles without activating them.

Abstract: Systems and methods include causing presentation of a first cluster in association with an event of the first cluster, the first cluster from a first set of clusters of events. Each event includes a time stamp and event data. Based on the presentation of the first cluster, an extraction rule corresponding to the event of the first cluster is received from a user. Similarities in the event data between the events are determined based on the received extraction rule. The events are grouped into a second set of clusters based on the determined similarities. Presentation is caused of a second cluster in association with an event of the second cluster, where the second cluster is from the second set of clusters.

Abstract: A method includes in response to a user selection of a command of a coding language, causing display of a set of argument blocks in a text input region based on syntax of the command. Each argument block allows the user to input a value of an argument of the command to the argument block. In response to a user selection to modify the set of argument blocks, an argument block is added to the set of argument blocks displayed in the text input region based on the syntax of the command. In response to receiving from the user the input of the value of the argument to the added argument block, the command is caused to be coded in the text input region with at least the argument having the value from the input to the added argument block.
