ABSTRACT:
A method for creating a hierarchical data tree includes the initial step of providing a computer information processing system with a data base which interacts with user input to build the data tree based upon system responses. The user initially designates a source field and a next record field and the system searches the data base for records which have a target field matching the designated source field. The next record field of each record determines interaction with records, which have target fields matching the displayed record's source field. If a response is expected from the user, the user may either accept the record displayed or provide a separate user response as a selection. If no response is expected, according to the next record field, the system automatically selects the first matching record found. The system records the selection, whether from the system or from the user, utilizing a block of computer memory. The system then utilizes the recorded node as the basis for further search and further interaction. The system first creates a vertical leg of the data tree, before creating horizontal branches, according to the rules of interaction.
