INTERACTIVE DATA TUNNEL

摘要

A method if provided for accessing information from a database. Filter criteria are entered into the computer to create a "tunnel", being a customised subset of information from the database selected according to the entered filter criteria. The data in the tunnel is then viewed as an interactive table on a computer display. An operator interacts with the data in the tunnel to alter the order of display of items in the interactive table and to display further information relating to individual entries in the interactive table. The filter criteria are entered by means of a filter table which is separate from the interactive table.
