Abstract
A method and system for data management are presented. A plurality of data objects is generated in a graphical user interface. Each data object includes a lift handle, which may be selected by a user click clicking a mouse, for instance. A cargo is generated and placed in a carrier when the user selects the lift handle using a pointer. While the lift and drop action is pending, each additional selection of a data object by the user via its lift handle is added to the cargo. A graphical representation of the carrier showing the cargo manifest is attached to the pointer. When the user maneuvers the pointer to or over a drop zone, a list of available actions for the cargo in the carrier is presented to the user. A drop action can then be performed on the cargo when the user selects the drop zone.
