Graphical user interface for building queries with hierarchical conditions
First Claim
1. A method of programmatically providing a user interface for creating queries, comprising:
- providing graphical user interface content which defines a graphical user interface, comprising;
(i) a region for displaying conditions of a query; and
(ii) a first graphical element for initiating a process of combining two or more conditions of the query together with logic values to form a complex condition.

Abstract
The present invention generally provides methods, systems and articles of manufacture for programmatically providing a user interface for creating queries. In one embodiment, graphical user interface content which defines a graphical user interface is provided. The graphical user interface comprises (i) a region for displaying conditions of a query; and (ii) a first graphical element for initiating a process of combining two or more conditions of the query together with logic values to form a complex condition. In another embodiment, the graphical user interface further comprises a second graphical element for initiating a process of separating two or more conditions of a complex condition.

14. A method of programmatically providing a user interface for creating queries, comprising:
-
generating graphical user interface (GUI) content which, when processed by a GUI-based program, defines a graphical user interface, comprising;
(i) a region for displaying conditions of a query; and
(ii) a first graphical element for initiating a process of combining two or more conditions of the query together with logic values to form a complex condition;
in response to a user event activating the first graphical element;
(i) combining two or more user-selected conditions of the query together to form the complex condition; and
(ii) outputting information which, when rendered on a display device, displays the complex condition. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
