Abstract: Configuration utilities, such as object wizards, enable automatic configuration of domain-specific assets from object templates based on domain specific options. In an aspect, an application object template library stores a set of previously defined application object templates. The templates each include a superset of options common to a set of related domain objects. A configuration utility is configured for specifying at least one domain-specific option of the superset and creating an application object instance to be included in an application. The application object instance comprising at least one of the application object templates having the specified domain-specific option.

Abstract: A Graphic Performance Index (GPI) for increasing performance of graphics in a process control system graphical user interface (GUI). A GUI is built from GUI elements for use on a device. Determining an element load time for each GUI element based a hardware profile of the device permits calculating a total load time of all the element load times of the GUI elements. And the load time is mapped to a GPI scale. Based on the GPI, the GUI elements of the GUI are altered to improve the performance of the GUI.
