User interface having quick views and full views

摘要

A quick-view user interface for assisting a user in performing a task and shielding the user from complex data. The quick-view user interface may include a window on a computer screen. The window may comprise a pane for displaying a subset of data, based on the user's role, from a set of data displayed on a full-view user interface. In addition, the full-view user interface may assist a user in performing a task by allowing the user to view the set of data. The full-view user interface may include a window on a computer screen comprising a first pane for displaying a set of data and a link engageable to open a second pane for displaying a subset of the set of data, the subset being selected based on the user's role.

1. A computer screen for displaying a quick-view user interface having a window on the computer screen of a first user, comprising:
a pane within the window for displaying, based on a role of the first user, a subset of data drawn from a set of data, wherein the subset of data is imported into the user interface from an external file format and the pane automatically appears within the window to display the subset of data when the subset of data is determined to be relevant to a task the first user is presented with; a first menu item within the window for allowing the first user to customize layout of the set of data; a second menu item within the window for allowing the first user to modify value of the subset of data by performing calculation on the subset of data; and a third menu item within the window configured to send the customized layout and the modified subset of data via email for view by a second user, wherein the quick-view user interface is in data communication with an email server.
