Patent number: 7761809Abstract: Targeted user interfaces of managed applications can be displayed in a number of ways. Targeted user interfaces can be displayed, at a management computer server, based on task templates associated with tasks selected in a user interface of a management application running on the management computer server. Targeted user interfaces can be displayed, at a management computer server, based on a chosen task template associated with a task selected in a user interface of a management application running on the management computer server. A task template can be chosen from one or more task templates associated with a selected task. Objects can be displayed in a user interface of a management application, and based on a selection of an object, tasks can be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mai-Ian Tomsen Bukovec, Eric B.
