Abstract
A first primary display window displays first primary objects linked to a scope window. A second primary display window displays second primary objects linked to the scope window. The second primary objects are independent of the first primary objects. One or more secondary display windows display secondary objects linked to one of the primary display windows. A secondary display window may be linked to the scope window so that the secondary objects displayed in the secondary display window are linked to the scope window. Data to create a window may be query-driven and the window type may be data-driven. Window type may be changed after creation and windows may be docked to each other to prevent overlap. Windows may link back to the scope window.
