A selection of a business process feature received as a user interaction with first user interface elements arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of a user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business process can result in the concurrent display via the user interface of a work frame comprising the new user interface feature. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a definition of a new user interface feature of a business software architecture, the business software architecture supporting a business configuration used by an organization, the business configuration comprising a business scenario that comprises a plurality of business process features having associated user interface features; modifying a rule in a scenario model of the business to associate new user interface feature with at least one of the plurality of business process features; detecting a selection of the at least one of the plurality of business process features, the selection being received as an input via a user interface presentable on a computer display device, the input comprising user interaction with at least one of a first plurality of user interface elements that are arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of the user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business scenario; and displaying, via the user interface concurrently with the navigation pane, a work frame comprising the new user interface feature. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A computer program product as in claim 1, wherein the receiving occurs via a process linkage editor displayed in the work pane upon selection of a linkage modification user interface element displayed in the navigation pane. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A computer program product as in claim 1, wherein the receiving occurs via a scenario linkage editor operable by a scenario administrator, the scenario administrator having received a scenario modification feedback entered in the user interface by a business user who lacks sufficient permissions to modify the scenario model. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A computer program product as in claim 3, wherein the scenario modification feedback comprises a request to incorporate the new user interface feature. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A computer program product as in claim 1, wherein the new user interface feature relates to an external functionality provided by an software component external to, but integrated into, a core software platform of the business software architecture, and wherein the modifying further comprises associating the external functionality with the business process feature. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) A computer program product as in claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise: storing the scenario model; and supporting, using the scenario model, scenario navigation relevant to the business configuration, the scenario navigation providing an ability to directly change a link between one of the first plurality of user interface elements and its associated business process feature. ### Claim 7 A system comprising: at least one programmable processor; and a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a definition of a new user interface feature of a business software architecture, the business software architecture supporting a business configuration used by an organization, the business configuration comprising a business scenario that comprises a plurality of business process features having associated user interface features; modifying a rule in a scenario model of the business to associate new user interface feature with at least one of the plurality of business process features; detecting a selection of the at least one of the plurality of business process features, the selection being received as an input via a user interface presentable on a computer display device, the input comprising user interaction with at least one of a first plurality of user interface elements that are arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of the user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business scenario; and displaying, via the user interface concurrently with the navigation pane, a work frame comprising the new user interface feature. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) A system as in claim 7, wherein the receiving occurs via a process linkage editor displayed in the work pane upon selection of a linkage modification user interface element displayed in the navigation pane. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) A system as in claim 7, wherein the receiving occurs via a scenario linkage editor operable by a scenario administrator, the scenario administrator having received a scenario modification feedback entered in the user interface by a business user who lacks sufficient permissions to modify the scenario model. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A system as in claim 9, wherein the scenario modification feedback comprises a request to incorporate the new user interface feature. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) A system as in claim 7, wherein the new user interface feature relates to an external functionality provided by an software component external to, but integrated into, a core software platform of the business software architecture, and wherein the modifying further comprises associating the external functionality with the business process feature. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) A system as in claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise: storing the scenario model; and supporting, using the scenario model, scenario navigation relevant to the business configuration, the scenario navigation providing an ability to directly change a link between one of the first plurality of user interface elements and its associated business process feature. ### Claim 13 A computer-implemented method comprising: at least one programmable processor; and a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a definition of a new user interface feature of a business software architecture, the business software architecture supporting a business configuration used by an organization, the business configuration comprising a business scenario that comprises a plurality of business process features having associated user interface features; modifying a rule in a scenario model of the business to associate new user interface feature with at least one of the plurality of business process features; detecting a selection of the at least one of the plurality of business process features, the selection being received as an input via a user interface presentable on a computer display device, the input comprising user interaction with at least one of a first plurality of user interface elements that are arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of the user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business scenario; and displaying, via the user interface concurrently with the navigation pane, a work frame comprising the new user interface feature. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) A computer-implemented method as in claim 13, wherein the receiving occurs via a process linkage editor displayed in the work pane upon selection of a linkage modification user interface element displayed in the navigation pane. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) A computer-implemented method as in claim 13, wherein the receiving occurs via a scenario linkage editor operable by a scenario administrator, the scenario administrator having received a scenario modification feedback entered in the user interface by a business user who lacks sufficient permissions to modify the scenario model. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) A computer-implemented method as in claim 15, wherein the scenario modification feedback comprises a request to incorporate the new user interface feature. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) A computer-implemented method as in claim 13, wherein the new user interface feature relates to an external functionality provided by an software component external to, but integrated into, a core software platform of the business software architecture, and wherein the modifying further comprises associating the external functionality with the business process feature. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) A computer-implemented method as in claim 13, further comprising: storing the scenario model;
