Summary:A method and system for the management and display of information in a graphical user interface (GUI). Key data fields are configured, including a primary key data field and secondary key data fields, which are associated with the primary key data field. The data fields are configured using configuration variables and the data fields are populated with data field values. Information is displayed to a user in the GUI that includes secondary key data field values in a skewable display tree. Selection of a database record, identified by the value of the primary key data field, through the display tree generates a display of additional data field values that are associated with the selected database record, including text boxes for editing data field values by the user. Searching and reporting functions on the data field values under the primary key data field can also be provided.
