Abstract

In one general aspect, a method and system are described for providing a flexible data hierarchy. The method may include obtaining a plurality of data sets, the plurality of data sets including system-defined attributes and user-defined attributes, generating, for each attribute in each data set, a field for receiving input, providing, in a user interface display, at least one data set of the plurality of data sets and the generated field for each attribute in the at least one data set, receiving, in two or more of the generated fields, a value indicating a sequence placement for a respective attribute associated with a respective field of the two or more generated fields, and automatically generating, for the attributes associated with the two or more fields having a value, at least one hierarchical structure according to the sequence placement.
