Control elements of graphical user interfaces

摘要

Various aspects of this disclosure are directed to displaying, by a computing device, a plurality of components of a graphical user interface. Each of the plurality of components may display one or more members of at least one dimensional level of a database having a plurality of dimensions. Each dimension of the plurality of dimensions may include one or more dimensional levels. The computing device may determine a first dimensional level of a first dimension of the plurality of dimensions having one or more members displayed in two or more of the plurality of components, and may display a control element including an indication of the dimensional level having the one or more members displayed in each of the two or more components.

1. A method comprising:
displaying, by a computing device, a plurality of components of a graphical user interface, wherein each of the plurality of components includes one or more members of at least one dimensional level of a multi-dimensional database having a plurality of dimensions and information associated with intersections of the one or more members of the at least one dimensional level of the multi-dimensional database with one or more members of another dimensional level of the multi-dimensional database, and wherein each dimension of the plurality of dimensions includes one or more dimensional levels that form a hierarchical structure within the respective dimension; determining, by the computing device, a dimensional level of a dimension of the plurality of dimensions having one or more members displayed in two or more components of the plurality of components; displaying, by the computing device, a control element including an indication of the dimensional level having the one or more members displayed in each of the two or more components; receiving, by the computing device, a selection of an indication of a child dimensional level of the dimensional level of the dimension using the control element; and in response to receiving the selection of the indication of the child dimensional level of the dimensional level of the dimension, updating, by the computing device, each of the two or more components such that the two or more components include one or more members of the child dimensional level of the dimensional level in place of the one or more members of the dimensional level displayed in each of the two or more components and information associated with intersections of the one or more members of the child dimensional level of the dimensional level with the one or more members of the another dimensional level of the multi-dimensional database in place of the intersections of the one or more members of the at least one dimensional level of the multi-dimensional database with the one or more members of the another dimensional level of the multi-dimensional database .
