Abstract

Providing visual structuring of multivariable data sets in records includes: defining a key field for sorting the records; sorting the records by the key field to find patterns; grouping equivalent field values of the key field in an equivalent field value group; forming corresponding blocks for each equivalent field value group, displaying only one field value for each block, and masking all other field values of the block.
