Abstract

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for providing a user interface for a data management application that extracts data from several data sources across an enterprise. First, a user is allowed to input a search query. Data items found during a search based on the query are received and displayed in nodes arranged in a tree format. A portion of the data items are hyper linked to detailed views of the data items. A detailed view of one of the hyper linked data items is displayed upon selection of the one of the hyper linked data items by the user. The selected hyper linked data items are added to a history list.
