Abstract
A mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object may be read. The mapping may include a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes. The mapping may include a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values. The visual representation may be displayed on a graphical user interface based on the mapping.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- reading a mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object, wherein the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes, and the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values;
- displaying the visual representation on a graphical user interface based on the mapping, wherein the visual representation is displayed relative to a visual context displayed on the graphical user interface;
- and
- displaying, in response to an activation of the visual representation, additional visual attributes of the visual representation.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- reading a mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object, wherein the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes, and the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values;
- and
- displaying the visual representation on a graphical user interface based on the mapping.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor to:
- read a mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object, wherein the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes, and the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values;
- and
- a display to:
- display the visual representation on a graphical user interface based on the mapping.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodied with computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute instructions, the computer instructions comprising:
- reading a mapping between a business object and a corresponding visual representation of the business object, wherein the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attributes and the visual representation's visual attributes, and the mapping includes a relationship between the business object's attribute values and the visual representation's visual attribute values;
- and
- displaying the visual representation on a graphical user interface based on the mapping.
