Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for generating a user interface with a plurality of data fields ordered in a most frequently accessed first basis. The method involves retrieving a plurality of data fields of a user interface from a user metadata file and retrieving an access count of each of the plurality of data fields, wherein the access count is a count of number of data entry processes in which the plurality of data fields are accessed. The plurality of data fields are arranged in a most frequently accessed first basis based on the access count of each of the plurality of data fields.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for generating a user interface comprising a plurality of data entry fields, the method comprising:
- retrieving the plurality of data fields of the user interface;
- retrieving an access count for each of the plurality of data fields, wherein the access count is a count of number of data entry processes in which the each of the plurality of data fields was accessed in the past;
- and
- arranging the plurality of data fields in a most frequently accessed first basis based on the access count of the each of the plurality of data fields.
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a machine readable medium having instructions for generating a user interface with a plurality of data fields, the instructions which when executed by a machine cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- retrieving a plurality of data fields of a user interface;
- retrieving an access count of each of the plurality of data fields, wherein the access count is a count of number of data entry processes in which the plurality of data fields are accessed in the past;
- and
- arranging the plurality of data fields in a most frequently accessed first basis based on the access count of each of the plurality of data fields.
A computer system including a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executable by the processor, the system comprising:
- a data store operable for persisting a user interface metadata file comprising a data structure of a user interface;
- a metadata reader in communication with the data store operable for retrieving a plurality of data fields of the user interface from the user interface metadata file;
- and
- a sorting engine in communication with the metadata reader operable for retrieving an access count of the plurality of data fields and sorting the plurality of data fields in a most frequently accessed first basis.
