  • Publication number: 20090158135
    Abstract: A context control interface may include a context name field that is arranged and configured to identify a working context, one or more attribute name fields that are configured to identify one or more attributes that define the working context and one or more attribute value fields that are arranged and configured to correspond to the attribute name fields and to define one or more values for the attribute name fields. The attribute name fields and the corresponding attribute value fields may be mapped to a first set of fields in a first application and may be mapped to second set of fields in a second application and the attributes and the values populate the first set of fields and the second set of fields such that the working context is persistent across the first application and the second application, where the first application differs from the second application.

  • Publication number: 20070266341
    Abstract: Presenting links to a user includes: (i) identifying at least one of several work center screens to be made available to a user on a screen. Each work center screen is customizable and contains role-specific information associated with a topic in an enterprise resource computing system. (ii): for each identified work center screen, any screen of a particular type to which the user can directly navigate from the work center screen is identified. (iii): the screen includes: (A) for each identified work center screen, a first link providing navigation to the corresponding work center screen, and (B) for each first link, a second link to each screen of the particular type identified for the corresponding work center screen, providing navigation to the identified screen without visiting the work center screen, the second link displayed to indicate an association with the first link.

  • Publication number: 20070264956
    Abstract: In an enterprise resource computing system, an indication that an event has occurred may be received, where the event is associated with an application of the enterprise resource computing system. After receiving the indication, one of several priority classifications may be assigned to the event. Each of the priority classifications may correspond to a distinct level of significance to a user. A system message that includes an indicator of the priority classification may be generated, and one of a plurality of message display areas in a graphical user interface of the enterprise resource computing system may be selected for displaying the system message. Each of the message display areas may have a predefined location in the graphical user interface; the selection of the message display area may be based on the priority classification; and the system message may be displayed in the selected message display area.

  • Publication number: 20070266321
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) includes a details area containing first detail information for a first object instance. The first object instance is part of a hierarchy that includes several object instances of more than one object. The first detail information is presented using at least one GUI component associated with the first object instance. Included in the details area is a hierarchy GUI component that presents at least a portion of the hierarchy including the first object instance, and providing for user selection of any of the several object instances in the hierarchy. The details area is updated to instead contain second detail information that is for a second object instance selected using the hierarchy GUI component and that is presented using at least one GUI component associated with the second object instance. The details area can include GUI components associated with any of the several object instances.

  • Publication number: 20070266331
    Abstract: In a computing system, a communication that includes contents retrieved from a data repository and configured to be organized in a table is received from a second device. The received contents are displayed in the table on a user interface. The table includes multiple rows, one of which is configured to remain empty while the table is displayed to indicate a possibility of adding a new row to the table. While the table is displayed, a user input that indicates the empty row and is configured to trigger the new row to be added to the table is received. The new row is added to the table without first communicating with the second device regarding the addition. The new row is configured so that new contents entered into the new row are to be added to the data repository in a subsequent communication to the second device.

  • Publication number: 20070266017
    Abstract: In a computing system, an input that a user makes under guidance of a graphical user interface may be received. The input specifies several query portions to be used in searching a data repository in the system. Each of the query portions comprises a value entered by the user that is associated with any of several attributes of objects in the repository. The input does not specify a logical operator between any of the query portions. A search query is generated for searching the repository by: (i) determining whether any of the query portions have a common attribute, and associating any such query portions with each other into a new query portion using a logical OR operator; and (ii) thereafter associating any of the query portions that were not associated in step (i), and any new query portion formed in step (i), with each other using a logical AND operator.

  • Publication number: 20070266339
    Abstract: A request is received to display a first object in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer system containing several objects having more than one type, some of the several objects being associated with each other. An operation mode setting is accessed. In response to the request, an overview screen is displayed including a first GUI component presenting attributes of the first object, and at least one second GUI component, presenting information from at least a second one of the several objects associated with the first object, and configured to operate in (i) an auto load mode for automatically loading and presenting the information upon display, and (ii) a deferred load mode where the information is loaded and presented upon the user activating the second GUI component. The second GUI component uses one of the auto load mode and the deferred load mode based on the operation mode setting.

  • Publication number: 20060288283
    Abstract: A method of visually presenting a message includes detecting that a screen reader application is being used in a computer system having a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI presents messages of a first type by displaying a popup window and presents messages of a second type in a predefined field of the GUI. The screen reader application is configured to detect display of the popup window but not configured to detect presentation of the messages of the second type in the predefined field. The method includes detecting a system event that causes a first message to be presented in the predefined field, the system event resulting from evaluating user input information. The method includes presenting, in response to detecting the system event, a second message in the popup window, the second message being associated with the first message. The predefined field may relate to a message log.

  • Publication number: 20060080302
    Abstract: In a computer system having several application programs, wherein each application program is configured to manage at least one of several object types, a method of identifying objects includes receiving a first input that a user makes under guidance of an input control in a graphical user interface (GUI) to specify 1) a user-selected object type, 2) a user-selected attribute that is associated with the user-selected object type, and 3) a user-selected attribute value for the user-selected attribute. The method includes executing a search in the computer system for any objects corresponding to the first input. The method includes initiating a first application program that is configured to manage objects of the user-selected object type, wherein the first application program presents a result of the search in the GUI. The input control may remain visible with the application, for executing a new search for the same or another object type.
