1. A method for display of graphical metrics on a user interface, comprising:
- displaying, by a database system, an active graphical user interface comprising a plurality of graphical metrics of statistical data, the statistical data being from reports generated from a plurality of data fields stored in objects on a database, wherein at least some of the reports are generated from different data models, the different data models having different data fields from each other;
identifying, by the database system, an underlying report for each graphical metric displayed on the interface;
identifying, by the database system, one or more base objects common to each of the underlying reports;
identifying, by the database system, data fields in each of the one or more base objects, the data fields being present in the one or more base objects in each of the underlying reports;
adding, by the database system, the identified data fields to a list of data fields that only includes identified data fields;
receiving, by the database system, a selection of a identified data field from the list of identified data fields; and
filtering, by the database system, the displayed graphical metrics on the basis of at least one data field, the at least one data field including the selected identified data field.

Abstract
A system and method for display of graphical components on a user interface. Multiple components may be displayed on a graphical user interface an active dashboard. Each component is a graphical representation of a report generated from plurality of data fields stored in objects on a database. At least some of the reports are generated from different data models. The displayed components are filtered on the basis of at least one data field that is a common field among the different data models.

10. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon one or more sequences of instructions for displaying graphical metrics on a user interface, which instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:
-
displaying an active graphical user interface comprising a plurality of graphical metrics of statistical data, the statistical data being from reports generated from a plurality of data fields stored in objects on a database, wherein at least some of the reports are generated from different data models, the different data models having different data fields from each other; identifying an underlying report for each graphical metric displayed on the interface; identifying one or more base objects common to each of the underlying reports; identifying data fields in each of the one or more base objects, the data fields being present in the one or more base objects in each of the underlying reports; adding the identified data fields to a list of identified data fields that only includes identified data fields; receiving a selection of a identified data field from the list of identified data fields; and filtering the displayed graphical metrics on the basis of at least one data field, the at least one data field including the selected identified data field. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. An apparatus for displaying graphical metrics on a user interface, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; display an active graphical user interface comprising a plurality of graphical metrics of statistical data from reports generated from a plurality of data fields stored in objects on a database, wherein at least some of the reports are generated from different data models, the different data models having different data fields from each other; identify an underlying report for each graphical metric displayed on the interface; identify one or more base objects common to each of the underlying reports; identify data fields in each of the one or more base objects, the data fields being present in the one or more base objects in each of the underlying reports; add the identified data fields to a list of identified data fields that only includes identified data fields; receive a selection of a identified data field from the list of identified data fields; and filter the displayed graphical metrics on the basis of at least one data field, the at least one data field including the selected identified data field. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
