Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed for configuring and processing multiple types of data presentation objects in a unified data access system. An interface of the unified data access system may facilitate the configuration of both report data presentation objects having static data elements and dashboard data presentation objects having dynamic data elements. Both types of objects may be published for user access in a set of published data presentation objects. A user may activate both types of objects in a unified interface to simultaneously view and access data via processed report data presentation objects and dashboard data presentation objects.

Description

BACKGROUND With the increase in computer processing capabilities and Internet connectivity, the use of data processing systems to perform and facilitate many routine functions and transactions has become nearly ubiquitous. The use of remote and decentralized data processing systems, often referred to as “cloud” systems, has also grown exponentially in recent years as network capacity and quality has improved. Many types of organizations and users interact with cloud data processing systems and other types of data processing systems to perform a variety of operations. For example, data processing systems are routinely used for sales transactions, financial transactions, social media interactions, providing entertainment content, controlling equipment and infrastructure, and storing any data related to such functions. An operator of a data processing system may use the data processed and/or stored by such a system to determine conditions of an organization associated with the system. For example, current sales data may be used to determine current sales and inventory levels, which may then be used to make reactive (e.g., short term and/or immediate) business decisions related to operating a business. Historical sales data may be used to determine sales and inventory trends, which may then be used to make project business conditions and make strategic (long term and/or planning) business decisions. To access current data in a typical data processing system, a “dashboard” type interface is used that presents current data and that may be dynamically updated as the data changes over time. Historical data in a typical data processing system is typically collected and presented in a “report” that represents a static collection of data for a particular time period in the past. Because the data used in reports and dashboards, and the means of collecting and determining such data, can vary greatly between dashboards and reports, for current data processing systems these forms of data collection and presentation are implemented by separate systems (e.g., a dashboard system and a distinct reporting system) that each have different requirements, interfaces, user environments, etc. These separate and distinct systems can make it challenging for a system operator to easily consume the data it may need to make sound organizational decisions.
