ABSTRACT:
A graphic screen including data in a table format is displayed in a window. The window implements a Zoom-In function using a Zoom-In display element. A user "Zooms-In" to any row in the table by selecting a row and activating the Zoom-In display element. While displaying the same window, activation of the Zoom-In display element hides the table and displays detailed information in a form format for updating the selected row of the table. The table is hidden and the form format is presented until the user activates a "Zoom-Out" display element, terminating the detailed information form format display and leaving the table display exposed. In the form format, the user performs functions including modifying data relating to a table entry, saving the modified or entered data, proceeding to the next row item, or regressing to the previous row.
