System and method for improved consumption models for summary analytics

摘要

Systems and methods for retrieving, analyzing, and displaying summary analytics within a structured user interface framework are disclosed. The structured user interface can include an analysis digests section that includes and organizes individual discrete summary analytics in the form of analysis digests. Each analysis digests includes graphical and or alphanumeric visual representations of discrete analysis results according to analysis digest specifications associated with a particular user. An analysis digest section can include analysis digests selected by and/or associated with a particular user and/or analysis digests associated with a user associated with the particular user. Thus, through social networks, users may create and share analysis digests from within the structured user interface framework.

1. A method comprising:
loading, in a computer system comprising at least one processor, a multidimensional data set having a plurality of data fields; retrieving, in the computer system, automatically without user intervention, an analysis digest specification associated with a particular user, wherein: the analysis digest specification includes a plurality of specifications for discrete analysis digests, each of the plurality of specifications specifies:
one or more definitions for a particular analysis results, wherein the one or more definitions specify a pre-determined subset of data fields, in the plurality of data fields, customized by a first user, anda visual representation of the particular analysis results; parsing, in the computer system, the multidimensional data set according to the analysis digest specification to generate a first parsed multidimensional data set; generating, in the computer system, a first plurality of analysis digests in response to the first parsed multidimensional data set and the analysis digest specification; determining, in the computer system, that a third user is associated with the particular user; retrieving, in the computer system, automatically without user intervention, another analysis digest specification associated with the third user that is different than the analysis digest specification associated with the particular user; generating, in the computer system, an additional analysis digest in response to the first parsed multidimensional data set and the another analysis digest specification, wherein the additional analysis digest is different than the plurality of analysis digests; and assigning the first plurality of analysis digests and the additional analysis digest to a second user by causing the first plurality of analysis digests and the additional analysis digest to be automatically displayed to the second user, wherein the first user is associated with a first business role, and the second user is associated with a second business role different from the first business role.
