Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for displaying a business intelligence report on a client computing device in the client-server network according to a change in contextual information. The methods and systems involve receiving a context update message from a context acquisition module associated with the client computing device through one or more software interfaces provided by the context acquisition module. The context update message includes a contextual type for identifying a contextual business object, defining the business intelligence report at least in part. The business intelligence report is updated by applying the change in the contextual information provided by the context update message. The updated business intelligence report is transmitted to the client device and the updated business intelligence report is displayed on the display client-computing device.
