Abstract: The invention is directed to a system for displaying data in a collaborative work environment. The system may include a server, a database, and an accessing browser. A user may provide to the server an identification. The identification may be associated with access permissions to the data. The server may then retrieve a set of requested data and compile an instruction file such as a web page. The instruction file may display the data in two panels. One panel may provide a subset of the data in an editable format. Another panel may provide a second subset of the data in a read-only format. Both panels are displayed in a single window or screen. The user may then edit the editable data and submit it to the server. In addition, a second user may access the data such that the subset of the data is provided in a read-only format and the second subset in an editable format. In this manner, various users with differing responsibilities for subsets of data may view the data in a single window.
