Abstract: A method for a computer generated data table of parametric text data objects to be permuted based on automated sorting of a lesser number of parameters than are imaged on the data table.

Abstract: Method for automatic imaging of a plurality of dialog boxes that create computer records of text data objects displayed on data tables, in order to visually discover meaningful interrelations of data on said dialog boxes. The dialog boxes contain parametric data, other data related to the text data object, and fields for entry of distinguishing text and/or color markings for reference during automated imaging of a plurality of dialog boxes.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and article of manufacture of the present invention provides computer-produced reports comprised of data drawn in a user-specified order from designated records of text data objects listed on a data table. The user also specifies the order in which selected parametric values of said objects are to be displayed. The computer then prints, in the specified order, each object name followed by its values of selected parameters.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and article of manufacture of the present invention provide the ability to rapidly format and reformat tabular displays of records or text data objects organized according to the preferences of the user. The invention provides simplified, interactive means for naming categories or parameters associated with each text data object, for assigning values to each parameter for each text data object, and for constructing a sort order for displaying the text data objects. The features of the present invention allow a user, without need for specialized training or a user manual, rapidly to view the same or different sets of text data objects from differing perspectives, without cumbersome steps that could interrupt the user's line of thought.
