A method and system for navigating a tree type data structure having multiple data fields with data records arranged in multi dimension is disclosed herein. The method comprises: obtaining a search query to navigate plurality of records in the data structure wherein the data structure is defined to have a root and plurality of dimensions including a first dimension and a last dimension, each dimension being derived from the root through one or more hierarchical nodes defining data fields and all hierarchical nodes in a dimension being at equal distance from the root. Upon receiving the search query a navigation bar is accessed, wherein the navigation bar has at least one navigation icon and a text based search navigation tool for accessing the data records from the data structure. The navigation icons are defined by: obtaining attributes of data structure including dimensional information and providing navigation icons corresponding to each dimension in the data structure and assigning predefined navigating states to each navigation icon corresponding to the data fields in the data structure. The method further comprises: navigating the data structure using the navigation icons, each navigation icon being configured to linearly navigate through predefined navigating states through hierarchical nodes in each dimension based on the search query; and displaying data records available in the last dimension, upon completely navigating through all the dimensions. |
