  • Publication number: 20160147420
    Abstract: A time line display mechanism includes a control slider. The control slider is actuated to configure, in a computing system memory, an aging period definition. The computing system accesses relevant data and applies the aging period definition to the relevant data to generate a representation of the aged data with the aging period definition applied. The representation of the aged data is surfaced in the computing system, along with an aging display mechanism that represents the aging period definition. The aging display mechanism includes actuators that can be actuated to reconfigure the aging period in memory so that it can be reapplied to modify the displayed representation of the aged data.
