A system and method for controlling the presentation of information on a display device concerning a collection of objects. A processor receives user inputs defining one or more user-adjustable filters. For each object in the collection, the processor computes an information control value using the one or more filters. Each filter operates on one or more data fields on the objects. The information control value then determines how much information is to be displayed for the object. Furthermore, the user may dynamically adjust parameters of the filters. Thus, the user may control which populations of objects are displayed with a rich set of information and which populations are displayed sparsely.
