1. A method for bypassing data hierarchies in providing data associated with objects, the method comprising:
providing, using one or more computing device processors, a primary set of objects;
receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a first selection of a first object from the primary set of objects;
in response to receiving the first selection of the first object from the primary set of objects, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, a secondary set of objects based on the first selection of the first object from the primary set of objects;
receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a second selection of a second object from the secondary set of objects;
in response to receiving the second selection of the second object from the secondary set of objects, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, first data associated with the second object, wherein the first data associated with the second object is associated with or comprises a first data hierarchy associated with the second object;
receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a third selection of first category data from the first data associated with the second object;
in response to receiving the third selection of the first category data from the first data associated with the second object, providing, using the one or more computing device processors, the first category data associated with the second object;
receiving, using the one or more computing device processors, a fourth selection of a third object from the secondary set of objects;
in response to receiving the fourth selection of the third object from the secondary set of objects, bypassing, using the one or more computing device processors, a second data hierarchy associated with the third object and providing, using the one or more computing device processors, second category data associated with the third object without receiving a fifth selection of the second category data associated with the third object prior to providing the second category data associated with the third object;
providing, using the one or more computing device processors, a selectable action option, wherein the selectable action option further comprises:
a navigation panel, wherein the navigation panel comprises a set of navigating objects separate from the primary set of objects and the secondary set of objects, and
a set of contextual objects, wherein the set of contextual objects enables interaction with or modification of a first interface; and
providing, using the one or more computing device processors, a first toolkit associated with at least one of the selectable action option, the first object, the second object, or the third object.
