First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processing unit; and
a memory storage unit, storing;
a database having multiple tables with columns containing information regarding hardware and software in an organization;
a database application for executing queries against the database; and
an externalized data structure stored on the system that provides a user modifiable set of key performance indicators covering the hardware and software in an organization, facilitating selection of database tables and queries against the tables to provide multiple levels of viewable key performance indicators to users without having to recompile the database application upon modification of the set of key performance indicators.

Abstract
A system and method include a database having multiple tables with columns containing information. A database application executes queries against the database. An externalized data structure are stored on the system and provide a user modifiable set of key performance indicators facilitating selection of database tables and queries against the tables to provide multiple levels of viewable key performance indicators to users without having to recompile the database application upon modification of the set of key performance indicators.

12. A method comprising:
-
providing a first level external interface that facilitates user interaction to define high level count based key performance indicator data; providing a second level external interface that facilitates user interaction to define taxonomy filters applicable to the high level count data; and providing a third level external interface that facilitates user interaction to select detail from the filtered high level key performance indicator data, wherein the user interaction does not result in recompilation of a key performance indicator data application. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
