Abstract
Objects associated with a business document and one or more functions associated with the production of the objects may be determined. An object associated with an unexpected result in the business document may be selected. A function associated with the object may be selected, the function being associated with one or more custom settings. One or more steps, based on the custom settings, used in producing the selected object and associated with the selected function may be determined and provided in a result view.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, for each object of a plurality of objects associated with a business document produced by an application, at least one function used in the production thereof;
- receiving a selected object of the plurality of objects, the selected object being associated with an unexpected result in the business document;
- receiving a selected function associated with the selected object, the selected function being associated with one or more custom settings;
- determining one or more steps, based on the one or more custom settings associated with the selected function, used in producing the selected object;
- and
- providing a result view including the one or more steps used to produce the unexpected result.
A system comprising:
- a selection view generator configured to provide a plurality of objects of a business document including an unexpected result as produced by an application, in association with one or more functions of the application used in the production thereof based on one or more custom settings;
- a simulator configured to simulate one or more steps used the production of one or more selected objects of the plurality of objects associated with the unexpected result based on the custom settings and a selection of one or more of the functions;
- a result view generator configured to provide the one or more steps;
- and
- a maintenance view generator configured to provide, upon a selection of a first step, a maintenance view for modifying a first custom setting of the one or more custom settings that is associated with the first step.
Machine executable instructions stored on a computer-readable medium that, when executed on a data processing apparatus, are configured to cause the data processing apparatus to provide an interface with multiple views, the interface comprising:
- a selection view comprising:
- one or more objects of a business document produced by one or more functions of an application operable based on one or more custom settings;
- and
- the one or more functions of the application associated with producing the one or more objects;
- the interface being configured to receive a selected object of the one or more objects and a selected function of the one or more functions and provide
- a result view comprising:
- one or more steps associated with producing the selected object based on the custom settings associated with the selected function;
- and the interface being configured to receive a selected step of the one or more steps and provide
- a maintenance view configured to provide for a modification of the custom settings associated with the selected step.
