With respect to the "Visual Information-Seeking Mantra"
The 7 interactive tasks users wish to perform:
- Overview: Gain an overview of the entire collection.
- Zoom : Zoom in on items of interest
- Filter: filter out uninteresting items.
- Details-on-demand: Select an item or group and get details when needed.
- Relate: View relationships among items.
- History: Keep a history of actions to support undo, replay, and progressive refinement.
- Extract: Allow extraction of sub-collections and of the query parameters.
History is one of the seven interactive tasks a user wants to perform according to Ben Shneiderman's Visual Information-Seeking Mantra.
Information seeking and presenting it to "the user" is a process which is tightly cupled to the end consumer of the data and his needs.
At first, data is gathered then selected by wanted criteria, the search result is observed, items of special interest are inspected more closely.
Bill Kules and Ben Shneiderman [1]
