ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system for conditional navigation through hierarchical lists. Filtering parameters are associated with members in a list, such as a hierarchical list. The filtering parameters affect the number of choices that are shown to a user in another list when that list is selected and displayed to the user. A selection of a member having filtering parameters within a master list affects the choices shown to a user in other master lists and/or filtered lists when they are displayed. The filtering may occur across different processes within the same machine and across different machines. For example, a user may make a selection within a master list on a first machine that causes a list on a second machine to be filtered for presentation to another user.
