1. A computer system comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store;
computer executable instructions; and
data objects, the data objects associated with one or more properties; and
one or more hardware computer processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices and configured to execute the computer executable instructions in order to cause the computer system to;
access a plurality of data objects from the one or more computer readable storage devices;
generate a data object display panel including visual representations of the plurality of data objects;
determine a time-based property associated with the plurality of data objects;
generate a time-based display panel separate from the data object display panel and including a timeline with bars or points along a line that visually represent groups into which the plurality of data objects are placed based on the time-based properties associated with the data objects;
display the data object display panel and the time-based display panel on an electronic display of the computer system;
determine a window of time associated with the time-based display panel; and
in response to receiving an input indicating a selection of a play indicator;
automatically move the window of time along the time-based display panel in an animated fashion; and
automatically highlight, in the data object display panel, data objects corresponding to the location of the window of time as it moves along the time-based display panel.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to user interfaces and systems that may enable dynamic and interactive access of, investigation of, and analysis of data objects stored in one or more databases. The data objects may be accessed from the one or more databases, and presented in multiple related portions of a display. In particular, the system provides a time-based visualization of data objects (and/or properties associated with the data objects) to a user such that the user may, for example, determine connections between various data objects, observe flows of information among data objects, and/or investigate related data objects.
