Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for filtering a complex dataset. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide for using a filter implemented as a single, re-usable component of a user interface to specify and perform filtering on a complex dataset. For example, embodiments described herein can provide a consistent user interface for navigating and filtering the complex dataset that includes tree management. Embodiments also provide a single, reusable, componentized widget for declaring filters against the complex dataset. Additionally, or alternatively, embodiments described herein allow filters to be shared across portions of the dataset, e.g., across ledgers, across the dataset, e.g., across charts of accounts, applications, e.g., different financial applications, across pillars, etc.
