The present invention comprises a software system having a user-friendly navigational interface utilizing an hierarchical display ( 20 ) of business documents based upon a dominant-subordinate relationship between the documents. In one embodiment, the documents are related through the use of keys, which define a relationship between the dominant ( 81 ) and the subordinate documents ( 91 ). In conjunction with the selection of a specific document, the invention displays information related to that document which can be custom defined by the user. In one embodiment, each user can define a unique set of data to be displayed. The invention further provides a means by which the underlying data can be easily edited from the hierarchical display ( 20 ). The present invention also allows the creation of expressions ( 230, 231 ) that will alert the user to predetermined conditions. The alert is displayed in conjunction with the hierarchical display ( 20 ) of a document, but the expression ( 230, 231 ) may be defined by data not normally contained within the document. Each user can define a unique set of alerts for various documents. The present invention further comprises a visual rendering of predefined expressions describing the progress of work related to a document and each user can also define a unique set of progress of expressions ( 250 ) for various documents based on conditions of particular interest to the user.
