1. A computer device for controlling display of database information, the computer server comprising:
- a display that is configured to display a graphical user interface including database data arranged in a plurality of data cells;
an input device that is configured to move a pointer within the graphical user interface on the display; and
a processor coupled to the input device and the display, the processor being operable to execute program instructions to determine whether the pointer is positioned over a data cell of the plurality of data cells and, in response to an actuation of the input device while the pointer is determined to be over the data cell, automatically modify search criteria applied to the database data according to the data of the data cell and automatically display the database data filtered by the modified search criteria.

Abstract
A system and method for managing display of database records are provided. The method includes determining whether a pointer is positioned over a data cell of a plurality of data cells of a graphical user interface; in response to receiving an actuation signal related to the pointer while the pointer is determined to be over the data cell, automatically modifying search criteria applied to database data according to the data of the data cell; and automatically outputting the database data filtered by the modified search criteria to the graphical user interface.

9. A system for controlling display of database information, the system comprising:
-
a database that stores database data; a central computer server which is communicatively coupled to the database and hosts software for controlling the database, the central computer server providing remote access to the database data of the database via web applications; and a remote computer system which is communicatively coupled to the central computer server via a web browser, wherein the remote computer server comprises; a display that is configured to display a graphical user interface including the database data arranged in a plurality of data cells; an input device that is configured to move a pointer within the graphical user interface on the display; and a processor coupled to the input device and the display, the processor being operable to execute program instructions to determine whether the pointer is positioned over a data cell of the plurality of data cells and, in response to an actuation of the input device while the pointer is determined to be over the data cell, automatically modify search criteria applied to the database data according to the data of the data cell, send the modified search criteria to the central computer server, receive from the central computer server the database data of the database filtered by the modified search criteria, and automatically display the received database data. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to:
-
determine whether a pointer is positioned over a data cell of a plurality of data cells of a graphical user interface; in response to receiving an actuation signal related to the pointer while the pointer is determined to be over the data cell, automatically modify search criteria applied to database data according to the data of the data cell; and automatically output the database data filtered by the modified search criteria to the graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
