Abstract: A dialog is configured to display first and second pages of attribute fields to prompt an input of attribute values for use in accomplishing the task. Each page is separately displayable in the dialog. According to exemplary embodiments, a dynamically alterable summary of the attribute fields and values is included on a portion of the first page of the dialog. The attribute fields and values included in the summary are arranged into groups. A first group includes the attribute fields and values displayable on the first page of the dialog, and a second group includes the attribute fields and values displayable on the second page of the dialog. A first software link is provided between the second group and the second page of the dialog to provide automated access to the second page via the second group.

Abstract: Methods and a system are disclosed for presenting attributes and associations of a first object managed within a data model. The attributes and associations can be displayed in a user dialog. According to an exemplary embodiment, a first attribute and a second attribute of the first object and an identity of a second object associated with the first object within the data model are collected from the data model. The first and second attributes and objects each relate to respective application programs configured to use the data model. The first and second attributes are included on a first page of the user dialog, and identities of the first and second objects are included on a second page of the user dialog. A software link is provided between the first and second pages of the dialog to provide automated access to the first and second pages via the link.
