User interface for multi-dimensional data presented as lists
I have an application that lists all the modules loaded in a performance test in a baseline and a current testrun. Each run in turn has many iterations. A user can view the difference of what was loaded in the baseline versus current across all iterations by selecting All in the dropdown list.
However, I want to add the ability to go to another tool for the following combination of parameters (module, runtype(baseline or current) and iteration (0,1,2,..)) etc.
For example: I will open up a call stack for Module0.dll in baseline testrun for iteration 1.
However, iterations don’t show up in this UI as the values in baseline and current columns are aggregates across all iterations.
My idea was to make the cell values in baseline and current as hyperlinks where a user can right-click -> see a menu of iterations and click on a particular iteration to go to the new tool. I am not sure that it is the best user experience/UI though.
Any suggestion on improving this workflow will be highly appreciated.
