Abstract: An apparatus and method are described herein that provide for visualizing subsets of grouped business objects in an application for display in a user interface. Business objects are grouped into subsets according to a selected business object attribute value. The business objects are grouped and displayed in a three-dimensional view including a plurality of layers, where each layer represents a subset of the business objects. The application is implemented, for example, as a calendar application. The visual representations associated with the business objects in each subset of data are displayed in each of the layers of the three-dimensional view. A user selectably controls which subset of data to view in the user interface.

Abstract: Scale(s) on one or more axes may be displayed on a graphical user interface. The scale(s) may present a range of values associated with business object attribute(s). Visual representation(s) associated with business object(s) may be displayed on the graphical user interface. The visual representation(s) may be positioned relative to the scale(s). In response to activation of a grouping mechanism, the visual representation(s) may be moved to a first area in the graphical user interface. The business object(s) associated with the visual representation(s) may include business object attribute value(s) in common with other business objects visually represented in the first area.

Abstract: Scale(s) on one or more axes may be displayed. The scale(s) may present a range of values associated with at least one business object attribute. Visual representation(s) of business object(s) may be displayed. The visual representation(s) may be positioned relative to the scale(s). Detail boxes corresponding to each visually represented business object may be displayed. Each detail box may present information about a corresponding business object. All detail boxes may be displayed. Information presented by the detail box(es) may be an image and/or text. The information presented by the detail box(es) may be interactive. Displaying or not displaying the detail box(es) may be toggled. The visual representation(s) of the business object(s) may be repositioned based on the toggling.
