The SMW Exhibit format allows tying several 'facets' of information into one dynamic view. With larger data sets, it can allow quickly 'drilling down' to exactly the relevant items. Since the selection boxes 'comprehend' dates and numbers, they will group entries by ranges when the data set grows. You can see a better example here - in a few clicks you can find the MSSS supported organisations in Montréal or Québec with a contribution of between $0 and $10000.
