Method of managing groups of arrays of documents
First Claim
1. At least one non-transitory machine-readable media having machine-executable instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by a data processing system, cause the data processing system to perform a method of grouping axes of information elements, the method comprising:
- providing a first plurality of information elements adapted to be displayed in a first axis of information elements;
providing a second plurality of information elements adapted to be displayed in a second axis of information elements, the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements being adapted to be acted upon independently from one another, the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements being further adapted to be grouped together on a basis of a user input;
grouping the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements in a group of axes of information elements, the group of axes being adapted to collectively perform an action on the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements; and
displaying the group of axes of information elements,the first axis of information elements being adapted to graphically represent information elements along a first substantially rectilinear arrangement and the second axis of information elements being adapted to graphically represent information elements along a second substantially rectilinear arrangement,the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements from the group of axes of information elements being adapted to be ungrouped on a basis of a user input.

16. A device, comprising a processor configured to present to a user a graphical interface for displaying and managing arrays of documents, the graphical interface comprising:
-
a first display area that is operable to display a first axis of information elements; a second display area that is operable to display a second axis of information elements, the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements being adapted to be acted upon independently from one another, the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements being further adapted to be grouped together on a basis of a user input; a first command that is operable to group the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements in a group of axes of information elements, the group of axes of information elements being adapted to collectively perform an action on the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements; and a third display area that is operable to display the group of axes of information elements, the first axis of information elements being adapted to graphically represent information elements therein along a first substantially rectilinear arrangement and the second axis of information elements being adapted to graphically represent information elements therein along a second substantially rectilinear arrangement, a second command that is operable to ungroup the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements from the group of axes of information elements, the first axis of information elements and the second axis of information elements from the group of axes of information elements being adapted to be ungrouped on a basis of a user input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor programmed to execute a plurality of modules; a documents gathering module adapted to provide a first plurality of documents adapted to be displayed in a first axis of documents disposed in a substantially longitudinal fashion and a second plurality of documents adapted to be displayed in a second axis of documents, the first axis of documents and the second axis of documents being adapted to be acted upon independently from one another, the first axis of documents and the second axis of documents being further adapted to be grouped together on a basis of a user input; and an axes of documents management module adapted to provide a mechanism configured to group the first axis of documents and the second axis of documents into a group of axes of documents on a display, the group of axes of documents being adapted to collectively perform an action on the first axis of documents and the second axis of documents on a basis of a user input; a display module adapted to display the group of axes of documents, the first axis of documents being adapted to graphically represent documents along a first substantially rectilinear arrangement and the second axis of documents being adapted to graphically represent documents along a second substantially rectilinear arrangement, the first axis of documents and the second axis of documents from the group of axes of documents being adapted to be ungrouped. - View Dependent Claims (20)
