Navigating a Hierarchical Data Set

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing navigation in a hierarchical data set are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may generate a user interface including a first node as a focused node at a fixed focal point along with a subset of a first plurality of related nodes having a relationship with the first node. In some instances discussed herein, user input may be received selecting a second node as the focused node, such as a scrolling action dragging the second node to the fixed focal point. The user interface may be updated to display a subset of a second plurality of related nodes having a relationship with the second node. In some arrangements, the hierarchical data set may correspond to an organizational chart, a workflow, a directory structure, a categorized list, a taxonomy, or any other type of hierarchical data.

1. A method comprising:
generating, by a computing device, a user interface having a fixed focal point and a content region configured to present one or more nodes representing at least a portion of a hierarchical data set, said one or more nodes including a first node representing a first element of the hierarchical data set; updating, by the computing device, the user interface to present the first node as a focused node at the fixed focal point; and updating, by the computing device, the user interface to include at least a portion of a first plurality of related nodes, the first plurality of related nodes representing a first plurality of elements of the hierarchical data set that are related to the first element.
