Embodiment Construction

[0015] Various embodiments aim to provide various search interfaces and mechanisms for business data searches that can improve user productivity and provide context for search results. Embodiments may provide a visual interactive interface for both structured and unstructured data. A visual interactive interface may allow a user to center the data around aspects of the structured data, such as entities, relationships, or stages in a lifecycle. Embodiments may customize which structured data is displayed based on the searcher's role or other choices.

[0016] figure 1 A block diagram of a system 100 that provides a visual interactive interface to perform business data searches is shown. In one embodiment, for example, system 100 may include a computer-implemented system 100 having components such as line-of-business system 110 and visual interaction interface 120 . As used herein, the terms "system" and "component" are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, includin...

Abstract

Techniques to provide a visual pivot-based search of business data may comprise displaying an entity of the business data as an interactive element. A searcher may select an entity as a pivot of a search, via the visual interactive interface. The visual interactive interface may then retrieve a first set of data associated with the pivot from the structured data, and display the first set of data as interactive elements. The display may be customized according to the searcher's role, defined preferences, and other settings. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to business data search, in particular, to the technology of hub-based business data search. Background technique [0002] A line of business (LOB) system may provide support for managing business operations. LOB systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM), can contain large amounts of structured data about business operations. Searching structured data, known as business data search, can be cumbersome for users. A successful search may depend on the user's ability to do one or more of asking the right question, translating the question into a suitable query, evaluating the value of the answer, and following the answer if necessary. It is with respect to these and other considerations that the improvements of the present invention are needed. Contents of the invention [0003] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that ar...
