A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs for execution by the processor, wherein the one or more programs include instructions which when executed cause the computing device to:
• monitor user interaction of a first user with a menu over a first time period, wherein the menu includes a plurality of menu items, and the plurality of menu items includes a first menu item with a predefined visual characteristic, wherein the first user has a first access privilege;
• monitor work flow and logical relationships between menu items in the plurality of menu items over the first time period;
• cause the first menu item in the plurality of menu items to be displayed with a first visual characteristic to a second user, wherein the first visual characteristic is modified from the predefined visual characteristic in accordance with (i) the user interaction of the first user with the menu over the first time period and (ii) the work flow and logical relationships between the menu items in the plurality of menu items over the first time period;
• identify a predefined user action with respect to the menu by a third user having a third access privilege, wherein the third access privilege is higher than the first access privilege;
• and
• cause the first menu item in the plurality of menu items to be displayed with a second visual characteristic to the third user in accordance with the third access privilege without regard to the user interaction of the first user, wherein the second visual characteristic is modified from the predefined visual characteristic without regard to the user interaction of the first user;
• wherein the predefined visual characteristic, the first visual characteristic, and the second visual characteristic relate to at least one of:
• size, shape, and color.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computing device, the one or more programs comprising instructions which when executed cause the computing device to:

• monitor user interaction of a first user with a menu over a first time period, wherein the menu includes a plurality of menu items, and the plurality of menu items includes a first menu item with a predefined visual characteristic, wherein the first user has a first access privilege;
• monitor work flow and logical relationships between menu items in the plurality of menu items over the first time period;
• cause the first menu item in the plurality of menu items to be displayed with a first visual characteristic to a second user, wherein the first visual characteristic is modified from the predefined visual characteristic in accordance with (i) the user interaction of the first user with the menu over the first time period and (ii) the work flow and logical relationships between the menu items in the plurality of menu items over the first time period;
• identify a predefined user action with respect to the menu by a third user having a third access privilege, wherein the third access privilege is higher than the first access privilege;
• and
• cause the first menu item in the plurality of menu items to be displayed with a second visual characteristic to the third user in accordance with the third access privilege without regard to the user interaction of the first user, wherein the second visual characteristic is modified from the predefined visual characteristic without regard to the user interaction of the first user;
• wherein the predefined visual characteristic, the first visual characteristic, and the second visual characteristic relate to at least one of:
• size, shape, and color.
