Abstract

A tool implemented in an apparatus is presented. The tool comprises one or more processors, one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause: obtaining report data generated for a user query; using a first color scheme, generating a visual representation of the report data; displaying the visual representation of the report data on a display of a user device; receiving, from a user, a user selection of a second color scheme; and using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the report data, and displaying the updated visual representation of the report data on the display of the user device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
obtaining report data generated for a user query that was submitted by a user;
using a first color scheme, generating a multi-color visual representation of the report data;
wherein the first color scheme comprises a first multi-color palette that comprises at least two first colors used to generate the multi-color visual representation of the report data;
displaying the multi-color visual representation of the report data on a display of a user device; and
as the multi-color visual representation of the report data is displayed on the display of the user device:
receiving, from the user, a user selection of a second color scheme;
wherein the second color scheme comprises a second multi-color palette that comprises at least two second colors that are different from the at least two first colors of the first multi-color palette; and

using the second color scheme, automatically generating an updated multi-color visual representation of the report data, and displaying the updated multi-color visual representation of the report data on the display of the user device;
receiving, from the user, a tab selection;
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a dashboard display;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the dashboard display:
repopulating the report data based on one or more dashboard logical groups;
using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the repopulated report data, and displaying the updated visual representation on the display of the user device;
receiving, from the user, a user indication of a third color scheme;

using the third color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data, and displaying the modified visual representation on the display of the user device;
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a domain list report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the domain list report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more domain names; and
using the second color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , comprising additional instructions which, when executed, cause:
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a file category report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the file category report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more file categories; and
using the second color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 , comprising additional instructions which, when executed, cause:
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a file type report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the file type report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more file types; and
using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the repopulated report data.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 ,
wherein the report data include one or more of: tagged document files, tagged image files, tagged spreadsheet files, tagged attachments, tagged system files, tagged hidden files, tagged archive files, or tagged electronic messages.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 1 ,
wherein the second color scheme is different than the third color scheme;
wherein a color scheme comprises settings for assigning colors to a plurality of items and settings for arranging the plurality of items for displaying on the display.

6. An apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions which, when processed by the one or more processors, cause:
a discovery manager configured to perform:
obtaining report data generated for a user query that was submitted by a user;
using a first color scheme, generating a multi-color visual representation of the report data;
wherein the first color scheme comprises a first multi-color palette that comprises at least two first colors used to generate the multi-color visual representation of the report data;
displaying the multi-color visual representation of the report data on a display of a user device; and
as the multi-color visual representation of the report data is displayed on the display of the user device:
receiving, from the user, a user selection of a second color scheme;
wherein the second color scheme comprises a second multi-color palette that comprises at least two second colors that are different from the at least two first colors of the first multi-color palette; and

using the second color scheme, automatically generating an updated multi-color visual representation of the report data, and displaying the updated multi-color visual representation of the report data on the display of the user device;
receiving, from the user, a tab selection;
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a dashboard display;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the dashboard display:
repopulating the report data based on one or more dashboard logical groups;
using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the repopulated report data, and displaying the updated visual representation on the display of the user device;
receiving, from the user, a user indication of a third color scheme;

using the third color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data, and displaying the modified visual representation on the display of the user device;
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a domain list report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the domain list report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more domain names; and
using the second color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the discovery manager is further configured to perform:
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a file category report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the file category report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more file categories; and
using the second color scheme, automatically modifying the updated visual representation of the repopulated report data.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the discovery manager is further configured to perform:
determining whether the tab selection corresponds to a request for a file type report;
in response to determining that the tab selection corresponds to the request for the file type report:
repopulate the report data based on one or more file types; and
using the second color scheme, automatically updating the visual representation of the repopulated report data.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 ,
wherein the report data include one or more of: tagged document files, tagged image files, tagged spreadsheet files, tagged at
