Claim Text:
1. A method of facilitating users to view temporal values for multiple fields, said method comprising: maintaining a temporal data associated with a first field and a second field, wherein said temporal data specifies a first sequence of time instances and a respective value to which said first field is set at each of said first sequence of time instances, said first sequence of time instances containing a first time instance and a second time instance, wherein said temporal data also specifies a second sequence of time instances and a respective value to which said second field is set at each of said second sequence of time instances, said second sequence of time instances not including said second time instance but including a third time instance at which an old value for said second field is changed to a new value; displaying on a display unit, a first value for a first field and a second value for said second field, wherein said first value and said second value are temporal values at said first time instance for said first field and said second field respectively according to said temporal data; receiving an input data representing said second time instance; examining said temporal data to determine a third value and a fourth value for said first field and said second field respectively at said second time instance, wherein said third value is the value of said first field retrieved from said temporal data corresponding to said second time instance, wherein said fourth value is set to said old value if said second time instance is less than said third time instance and to said new value otherwise; and updating said display unit, in response to receiving of said input data representing said second time instance, said third value for said first field and said fourth value for said second field, wherein said third value and said fourth value are temporal values at said second time instance for said first field and said second field respectively.
