Abstract

One example of this invention is to provide indicators and quick access controls for the nodes in navigation tree that appear more than once in a hierarchy—where a pure hierarchical navigational tree falls short. Moreover, contextually and inline with the navigation tree, the user could quickly re-orient the tree to group all the repeating nodes together.
