Abstract: A conversation GUI may include a canvas, a feed section, and a process section. The canvas may present icons associated with documents uploaded by members of a conversation associated with the GUI, the members including a local user of the local computing system and remote users of remote computing systems, the canvas being located in a fixed section of the conversation GUI. The feed section may present messages sent by the local user and by the remote members. The process may be separate from the canvas and the feed section and include at least a first task and a second task associated with a specified process. A computing system may, upon completion of the first task, send a message to the local user indicating that the first task is complete and the second task is to be performed.

Abstract: A method and a system for inventory data entry. The method generates identification codes that correspond to labels affixed to items to be logged into inventory and stores information about items associated with the identification codes. The method further allows a user to search for an identification code in the database when the item is ready to be logged in. The system provides a memory and a processor for inventory data entry.

Abstract: A single meta-model can include metadata defining a business scenario landscape that includes business scenarios accessible to members of an organization that are supported by a business software architecture. The metadata can include business process definitions and relationships between business processes. A user interface can present first, second, and/or third visualization layers based on the metadata. The first visualization layer can include first user interface elements forming a business scenario landscape map showing business scenarios and at least one relationship between the business scenarios. The second visualization layer can include second user interface elements displayed in a navigation pane concurrently with a work pane.

Abstract: A method and system to generate a user interface for an application, the user interface including a plurality of screen items, and each screen item being rendered based on associated screen item data. An output preview is generated and includes at least one preview item representative of a corresponding one of the plurality of screen items. Each preview item in the output preview is linked to the screen item data associated with the corresponding screen item, and is rendered in the output preview based on the linked screen item data.

Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided a method. The method may include accessing a process model defining a business process including a plurality of steps including at least one activity and at least one object; accessing a process monitor to obtain a state of the business process including the plurality of steps including the at least one activity and the at least one object; generating a first view including the plurality of steps including the at least one activity and the at least one object and further including the state of the business process; and generating, based on the state, a second view to guide execution of the business process. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method may include generating a desktop including a plurality of objects organized in accordance with at least one of a theme and a structure; generating a toolbar configured for presentation with the desktop; and generating, based on the multi-level zoom, a second view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects and a third view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects, the second view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the first view, and the third view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the second view, the first, second, and third views maintaining the same context within the toolbar, when presented with respect to the toolbar.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of semantic zooming in a user interface are presented. In one implementation, a display including a plurality of non-overlapping regions is presented. A user selection of a first region presenting a first amount of information is received. In response to the user selection, the selected first region is enlarged, and a second amount of information greater than the first amount of information is presented in the first region. At least one remaining region is reduced in size so that the regions continue to be non-overlapping.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of semantic zooming of data object representations in a user interface are presented. In one implementation, a first graphical representation is presented for display. The first graphical representation represents a data object and presents first information associated with the data object. A user input indicating a zoom-in operation is received. In response to the user input, the first graphical representation is replaced with a second graphical representation representing the first data object is presented for display. The second graphical representation presents second information that includes more information than the first information.
