  • Publication number: 20140068485
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140033104
    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.
