Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for analyzing skills. The method identifies the skills for a group of people and displays the skills identified on a radar chart in a graphical user interface in a display system. The radar chart has axes extending from a common origin in which a skill in the skills for a person in the group of people is displayed on an axis in the axes corresponding to the skill. A balance of skills is identified for the group of people. The balance of skills has desired values for the skills needed for the group of people. The balance of skills for the group of people is displayed in the radar chart.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing assistance for an application. The application runs in a web browser displayed on a display system for a client device. The application monitors for user input to the web browser. When assistance is needed for a location in the web page, the location is identified based on the user input. A graphical element with a portion of the web page at the location is generated. A group of audio files on how to use the application at the location is identified. The graphical element with the portion of the web page at the location is displayed on the display system. The audio files are played on the client device while the graphical element with the portion of the web page at the location of the web page is displayed. The audio files and the graphical element provide the assistance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for graphically displaying data is presented. A computer system selects a section from a group of sections in a circular chart for the data that is to be graphically displayed on a display system. The computer system identifies a largest size for a polygon that will fit in the section of the circular chart. The computer system also identifies text for the section. Further, the computer system displays the circular chart with the text in the section on a display system when the text fits within the polygon in the section. Graphically displaying the data with the text in the circular chart enables a desired level of comprehension of the data.

Abstract: A computer network including a server computer, a first computer implementing a first software tool having a first function and a second software tool having a second function, and a second computer implementing the first software tool and the second software tool. The server computer is configured to gather first data regarding use of the first software tool; gather second data regarding use of the second software tool; and based on the first data and the second data, link activities of the first user and the second user to a performance goal for any one of the first user, the second user, a team including at least the first user or the second user, or an organization to which the first user and the second user belong. In executing the third program code, a communications link between the server computer and the first computer or the second computer is improved.

Abstract: A method for accessing information. Sections in a sunburst chart are displayed, by a computer system, in a graphical user interface in a display system. The sections represent the information and are displayed hierarchically in concentric circles. A section within an angle defined by an inner section relative to the section is associated with the inner section. A text search control is displayed, by the computer system, in the graphical user interface. The text search control receives text through user input. A selection of a plurality of sections displayed in the graphical user interface is identified, by the computer system, from the user input to the text search control. The plurality of sections in a different one of the concentric circles is emphasized, by the computer system, in the graphical user interface. The plurality of sections is associated with each other and enables increased efficiency in viewing the information.

Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program product for managing communications. A computer system monitors a use of communications used by a group of people in a communications system and displays the use of the communications by the group of people on a radar chart in a graphical user interface in a display system. The radar chart has axes extending from a common origin in which the axes correspond to the use of the communications. The computer system identifies a group of potential changes to the communications in the communications system based on a policy applied to the use monitored for in the communications. The computer system displays the group of potential changes in association with the radar chart in the graphical user interface, enabling a more efficient use of the communications system.
