Abstract
A system is provided that visually represents a planning structure. The system displays a node that represents an element of the planning structure and a value associated with the element within a user interface. The system further receives a first user interaction that is a movement of a cursor over the node in a direction. The system further generates child elements within the planning structure in response to the first user interaction, where the child elements are children of the element. The system further generates values associated with the child elements, where a combination of the values is equal to the original value. The system further displays child nodes that represent the child elements and the values within the user interface. The system further displays lines between the node and the child nodes, where each line represents a parent-child relationship.
