Problem (business, user, technical)
In some applications, the data presented can be shown via alternate views based on data ranges, for instance.
Solution
We provide drop-down controls so users can switch views within a page without having to navigate to separate pages to see the various views.
Rationale (other things we tried)
This was the best solution rather than providing multiple pages and/or tabs within tabs.
