Progressive Refresh of User Interface Screens

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, a query for data that represents a next expected user interface (UI) screen of a plurality of UI screens of a software application executed by the client device, wherein the next expected UI screen is identified by the software application (i) based on a current UI screen of the software application and (ii) a workflow model associated with the software application;
• determining, based on the query, the data that represents the next expected UI screen;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, the data that represents the next expected UI screen, wherein reception of a request to navigate to the next expected UI screen is configured to cause the client device to initiate display of the next expected UI screen according to the data that represents the next expected UI screen.

A system comprising a processor configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client device, a query for data that represents a next expected user interface (UI) screen of a plurality of UI screens of a software application executed by the client device, wherein the next expected UI screen is identified by the client device (i) based on a current UI screen of the software application and (ii) a workflow model associated with the software application;
• determining, based on the query, the data that represents the next expected UI screen;
• and
• transmitting, to the client device, the data that represents the next expected UI screen, wherein reception of a request to navigate to the next expected UI screen is configured to cause the client device to initiate display of the next expected UI screen according to the data that represents the next expected UI screen.
