Abstract
A system can collapse steps into an aggregate step to simplify analysis while maintaining underlying data that forms each of the steps collapsed into the aggregate step. The steps may or may not be related in a sequence or grouping of steps. The aggregate step may be a new step that comprises the data of the individual steps used to form the aggregate step. Alternatively, the aggregate step may be a virtual step that may reference or link to the steps used to form the aggregate step, but may not include the data itself. By forming aggregate steps, filtering and notification generation can be simplified. Further, extraneous data can be collapsed into a single aggregate step, which can be particularly advantageously when analyzing large data sets.
