1. A method implemented by a computer, the method comprising:
- displaying, on a tangible display device, a first set of dashboard pages via a web browser that displays a first pinboard comprising breadcrumbs represented as icons, wherein a first dashboard page includes a plurality of areas for serving different functions, and the first pinboard includes a pin icon and a separation bar with the breadcrumbs, breadcrumbs on one side of separation bar automatically change over time as a user or a data processing system creates the breadcrumbs over time, and breadcrumbs on other side of the separation bar are the breadcrumbs the user permanently pinned to the first pinboard;
displaying, on the tangible display device, the first pinboard including at least a first breadcrumb located within a first area on the first dashboard page, wherein the first breadcrumb is a visual representation of a first person and points to a second set of dashboard pages associated with human resources data for the first person;
receiving input from a user, via a tangible user input device, for selection of the first breadcrumb of the first person, displaying a different set of display areas, on the first dashboard page, providing the human resources data for the first person;
receiving input from the user, via the tangible user input device, displaying a first pop-up window including a list of commands that can be performed with respect to the human resources data to which the first breadcrumb points, wherein the commands include at least pin command;
receiving input from the user, via the tangible user input device, for selection of the pin command from the first pop-up window, displaying a second pop-up window including a list of additional pinboards to which the first breadcrumb may be placed, wherein each of the additional pinboards is associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of human resources actions; and
receiving input from the user, via the tangible user input device, for selection of one of the list of additional pinboards from the second pop-up window, pinning the first breadcrumb of the first person to the selected pinboard and displaying the selected pinboard on the first dashboard page.
