First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a data processing system, the method comprising:
- receiving an identification of a data item;
associating the data item with one of a plurality of tracking modes, the plurality of tracking modes including at least two of a LOGICAL mode, a SUM mode, and an AVERAGE mode;
receiving a goal corresponding to the data item; and
determining the performance of the data item in relation to the goal based on the associated one tracking mode.
