Abstract

Two configurable user interface building blocks, an analytics list building block and a search building block, may interface with business planning data in both business intelligence systems and enterprise resource planning systems through an application controller to provide business planning models and applications. The search building block may include parameters to select fields from queries, filters, planning functions, and sequences to filter data included in the planning model. The analytics list building block may provide an interface for customizing components of business planning models. The application controller may ensure application integrity, execute a planning function on the data in the business planning model, and populate an interface with data.
