Building applications for configuring processes

Software stored on a computer-readable medium, for specifying a first user interface for configuring a computer-executable application, the software including instructions for causing a computing system to:

• receiving an identification of at least one configurable application, each configurable application being configurable by one or more parameters;
• identifying a set of parameters associated with the at least one configurable application;
• displaying, in a second user interface, a graphical display element, the graphical display element having properties and associated with a location relative to the first user interface;
• displaying, in the second user interface, one or more graphical representations of the set of parameters;
• receiving a mapping between a property of the graphical display element and a parameter of the set of parameters;
• and
• storing a representation of the mapping and the location.

A computing system for specifying a user interface for configuring a computer-executable application, the computing system including:

• at least one processor configured to specify a user interface for configuring a computer-executable application, the processing including:
• receiving an identification of at least one configurable application, each configurable application being configurable by one or more parameters;
• identifying a set of parameters associated with the at least one configurable application;
• displaying, in a second user interface, a graphical display element, the graphical display element having properties and associated with a location relative to the first user interface;
• displaying, in the second user interface, one or more graphical representations of the set of parameters;
• receiving a mapping between a property of the graphical display element and a parameter of the set of parameters;
• and
• storing a representation of the mapping and the location.
