For each role assumed by the user, a set of tasks assigned to the role is identified. Each task is evaluated to determine if it is an active task that needs to be performed in one or more processes. For each active task, an element is added to the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20140365879
    Abstract: Date entries may be made using aliases in place of a specific dates. Instead of a user having to locate or determine a specific date for a date entry field, the alias that represents the date may be entered in the date entry field. The date for the alias is determined from a context of the date entry. For example, the context may include a determination as to what application is requesting the date, what entity is associated with the date entry, and the like. In a payroll date example, a next pay date “NPD” alias may change based on the employee. The data used to determine the date that is represented by the alias may be one or more data sets. The aliases may be associated with more than one application.
