  • Patent number: 9881064
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for changing query result data graphically displayed on an electronic device. A query of a data repository is performed. A graphical representation of a set of query results identified from the query is displayed. The query results include a plurality of query result records. The graphical representation includes a first node corresponding to a first record field value and a second node corresponding to a second record field value. A region proximal to the first node displays a query result record having the first record field value. A query result record having the first record field value is selected. A field value of a selected query result record is changed from the first record field value to the second record field value by transitioning the selected query result record to a region proximal to the second node.

The graphical representation includes a first node corresponding to a first record field value and a second node corresponding to a second record field value. A region proximal to the first node displays at least one query result record having the first record field value. A query result record of the at least one query result record having the first record field value is selected. A field value of a selected query result record is changed from the first record field value to the second record field value by transitioning the selected query result record to a region proximal to the second node of the graphical representation.

  • Patent number: 8972849
    Abstract: Computer method and apparatus processing batch changes to a plurality of records employs heuristics. The system includes a computer based source of a plurality of records subject to a batch update. Each record in the plurality has respective meta data information. A computer processor projects application of changes forming the batch update in one record of the plurality. The processor applies heuristics including noting metadata information of the one record impacting changes to each record in the plurality. Using the noted metadata information and heuristics, the system further projects application of the batch update changes to remaining records in the plurality. A preview display of the projected results of the batch changes allows the user to commit, modify or revert batch updates per record.

  • Patent number: 8515942
    Abstract: A first query is retrieved by a computing device. A second query is retrieved by the computing device, wherein the second query is linked to the first query. A derivative query is generated by the computing device based, at least in part, upon merging at least a portion of the second query with at least a portion of the first query, wherein generating the derivative query includes retrieving the first query and the second query prior to generation of the derivative query. The computing device determines whether the derivative query contains one or more conflicts. If it is determined that the derivative query contains one or more conflicts, the one or more conflicts in the derivative query are resolved by the computing device.
