Abstract

The disclosure herein relates to generating a widget within a health and usage management system according to a widget management logic. The widget management logic includes generating a complex filter based on filter types and values is generated to manipulate data of the health and usage management system. The complex filter can output search results. Next, the widget management logic generates the widget to correspond to the complex filter and the search results. The widget is utilized to access the search results without subsequent selection of the filter types and values or manipulation of the data.

Claims

1. A method for generating a widget within a health and usage management system according to a widget management logic, comprising:

generating, by a processing device of the health and usage management system coupled to a memory, a complex filter based on selected filter types and values, the complex filter being configured to manipulate data of the health and usage management system;

executing, by the processing device, the complex filter to generate search results; and

generating, by the processing device, the widget corresponding to the complex filter and the search results, the widget being utilized to access the search results without subsequent selection of the filter types and values or manipulation of the data.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request for the widget identifies particular data sets of the health and usage management system to analyze.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the search results include graphical representations of the data of the health and usage management system.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the widget is a user interface element that visually represents the data in summary form.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the user interface element provides a status visualization of the data.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the status visualization of the data is an icon or a complex visualization.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the widget management logic includes a tiered user structure comprising a first level and a second level.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the first level defines user rights for savvy users and the second level defines user rights for average users.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

selecting filter types and filter values in response to receiving a request for the widget to produce selected filter types and filter values.

10. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions for generating a widget within a health and usage management system according to a widget management logic embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor of the health and usage management system to cause the processor to perform:

selecting filter types and filter values in response to receiving a request for the widget;

generating a complex filter based on the filter types and values, the complex filter being configured to manipulate data of the health and usage management system;

executing the complex filter to generate search results; and

generating the widget corresponding to the complex filter and the search results, the widget being utilized to access the search results without subsequent selection of the filter types and values or manipulation of the data.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the request for the widget identifies particular data sets of the health and usage management system to analyze.

12. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the search results include graphical representations of the data of the health and usage management system.

13. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the widget is a user interface element that visually represents the data in summary form.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the user interface element provides a status visualization of the data.

15. The computer program product of claim 14, wherein the status visualization of the data is an icon or a complex visualization.

16. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the widget management logic includes a tiered user structure comprising a first level and a second level.

17. The computer program product of claim 16, wherein the first level defines user rights for savvy users and the second level defines user rights for average users.
