    Abstract: Allowing a user to navigate data in a user interface when a modal dialog box has been activated. A method includes displaying a graphical user interface window. The method further includes allowing user input for modifying a particular data in the graphical user interface window. Thereafter, the method further includes displaying a modal dialog superimposed and obscuring at least a portion of the graphical user interface window, including obscuring at least a portion of the data, and to prevent user input for modifying the data in the graphical user interface window so long as the modal dialog remains active. The method further includes identifying information indicating that the modal dialog should be hidden. The method further includes at least partially hiding the modal dialog revealing at least a portion of the obscured data, while continuing to prevent user input for modifying the data in the graphical user interface window.

  • Publication number: 20190303611
    Abstract: Data management is provided that enables at least identification and collection of a subset of data subject to special treatment. Attributes can be added to data that identify locations of the subset of data. Locations in one or more computer-accessible data repositories can be scanned by a computer processor for the subset of data based on at least the data attributes and other criteria. Located data can then be collected from the data repositories, presented, and filtered as desired prior to generation of a data package comprising the subset of data. Further, requests to edit or delete identified data can be processed.
