Computing device user interface having auto-grouping of data columns

Abstract:

This disclosure describes techniques for intelligently grouping, ungrouping, collapsing, and/or expanding columns of data for effective presentation on a display screen. In one example, a method includes accessing, by a computing device, data organized into a plurality of columns, each column having one or more data characteristics; determining, by the computing device and based on at least some of the data characteristics of the columns, one or more column groups, each column group including a subset of the plurality of columns; determining, by the computing device and based on attributes of a window for presentation of the data, whether the plurality of columns will fit within the window; and in response to determining that the plurality of columns will not fit within the window, outputting a user interface presenting a column group as a single column within the window so that the plurality of columns fits within the window.
