Abstract

Systems and methods for graphically summarizing percentage make-up of category indicators in columns of a table are disclosed. A system may include at least one processor configured to maintain the table with rows and columns defining cells containing the category indicators and cause a display of a table gauge, wherein the table gauge includes a plurality of graphical representations of a plurality of category indicators contained in a grouping of the cells, and wherein each of the graphical representations may be sized to correspond to a percentage of an associated category indicator. The processor may receive a table update that alters at least one category indicator in at least one of the cells of the grouping of cells, and alter a graphical representation of the table gauge in response to the table update to change a size of at least one of the plurality of graphical representations.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for graphically summarizing percentage make-up of non-numerical category indicators in columns of a table, the system comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
maintain a table with rows and columns defining cells containing the category indicators, the category indicators classifying information within categories and each category indicator representing a status value;
generate a grouping of cells by identifying from the cells, the rows, and the columns, category indicators in the columns of the table sharing a common characteristic including at least a common status value;
cause a display of a table gauge, including a visual display of summarized information, the visual display having a plurality of graphical representations of a plurality of category indicators contained in the grouping of cells, wherein each category indicator is proportionally presented by a graphical representation in the table gauge that displays a percentage-based distribution of each of the plurality of category indicators in the grouping of cells;
receive a table update that alters at least one category indicator in at least one of the cells of the grouping of cells, wherein the table update is a change of the status value associated with at least one category indicator;
in response to the table update, alter a graphical representation of the table gauge to change a size of at least one of the plurality of graphical representations corresponding to the at least one altered category indicator, wherein the change of the size of the least one graphical representation causes the distribution to re-divide proportionally based on corresponding percentages.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the table gauge is a footer beneath a specific column and the grouping of cells are cells within the specific column.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the footer beneath the specific column is part of the table.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the table gauge is a header above the table.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the grouping of cells includes cells from a plurality of columns that share a common characteristic.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the grouping of cells includes cells across a common row.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein each cell in the grouping of cells includes a color indicator and wherein the plurality of graphical representations include colors that correspond to the color indicators.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the display of the table gauge occurs in another table.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the table is a sub-table of the another table.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representations are in the form of a pie chart.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the table update, the at least one processor is further configured to cause a communication to be sent to at least one user device associated with the table, wherein the communication is a notification of the table update.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send the notification to a contact address associated with the at least one user device.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send the notification outside of the system.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to display a configuration window, the configuration window allowing various display options for displaying the table gauge.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the grouping of cells is further configured to be extendable, wherein an extended grouping of cells displays the status values and a summary below the table gauge; and wherein the grouping of cells is further configured to be collapsible, wherein a collapsed grouping of cells displays the summary below the table gauge.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for graphically summarizing percentage make-up of non-numerical category indicators in columns of a table, the operations comprising:
maintaining the table with rows and columns defining cells containing the category indicators, the category indicators classifying information within categories and each category indicator representing a status value;
generating a grouping of cells by identifying from the cells, the rows, and the columns, category indicators in the columns of the table sharing a common characteristic including at least a common status value;
causing a display of a table gauge, including a visual display of summarized information, the visual display having a plurality of graphical representations of a plurality of category indicators contained in the grouping of cells, wherein each category indicator is proportionally presented by a graphical representation in the table gauge that displays a percentage-based distribution of each of the plurality of category indicators in the grouping of cells;
receiving a table update that alters at least one category indicator in at least one of the cells of the grouping of cells, wherein the table update is a change of the status value associated with at least one category indicator;
in response to the table update, altering a graphical representation of the table gauge to change a size of at least one of the plurality of graphical representations corresponding to the at least one altered category indicator, wherein the change of the size of the least one graphical representation causes the distribution to re-divide proportionally based on corresponding percentages.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the grouping of cells includes cells from a plurality of columns that share a common characteristic.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the grouping of cells includes cells across a common row.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein each cell in the grouping of cells includes a color indicator and wherein the plurality of graphical representations include colors that correspond to the color indicators.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the display of the table gauge occurs in another table.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 20 , wherein the table is a sub-table of the another table.

22. A method for graphically summarizing percentage make-up of non-numerical category indicators in columns of a table, the method comprising:
maintaining a table with rows and columns defining cells containing the category indicators, the category indicators classifying information within categories and each category indicator representing a status value;
generating a grouping of cells by identifying from the cells, the rows, and the columns, category indicators in the columns of the table sharing a common characteristic including at least a common status value;
causing a display of a table gauge, including a visual display of summarized information, the visual display having a plurality of graphical representations of a plurality of category indicators contained in the grouping of cells, wherein each category indicator is proportionally presented by a graphical representation in the table gauge that displays a percentage-based distribution of each of the plurality of category indicators in the grouping of cells;
