Navigating a hierarchical data set

Last updated:

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing navigation in a hierarchical data set are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may generate a user interface including a first node as a focused node at a fixed focal point along with a subset of a first plurality of related nodes having a relationship with the first node. In some instances discussed herein, user input may be received selecting a second node as the focused node, such as a scrolling action dragging the second node to the fixed focal point. The user interface may be updated to display a subset of a second plurality of related nodes having a relationship with the second node. In some arrangements, the hierarchical data set may correspond to an organizational chart, a workflow, a directory structure, a categorized list, a taxonomy, or any other type of hierarchical data.
