CREATING, UPDATING, SAVING, AND PROPAGATING CUSTOMIZED VIEWS OF TABLE AND GRID INFORMATION

Systems, methods, and computer products that create, update, save, and propagate customized views of table and grid information, including spreadsheets. The embodiment of the invention comprises associating at least one column as a first view of the table, associating at least one column as a second view of the table; and combining the first view with the second view, thereby efficiently creating a third view. Further, the combining includes dragging the second view; and dropping the dragged second view into the first view. The combining also includes creating a thumbnail image representing the first view or the second view. It also comprises updating columns that are shared between views. Additionally, the views may be stored, and new views may be propagated from the stored views.
