Abstract
Input to the system is buffered by the forms manager to determine access to the tile/region and to check entered data. The tile/region will retain various information such as data entered, user, time, changes, etc. To display a form, the forms manager obtains a list of objects to be displayed. This list of objects is then edited to remove objects which are not utilized and to place the remaining objects in a prioritized order. The forms manager then generates the display.
Claims11
In a computer system having input means for entering a plurality of objects to form an object list, data and commands into said system by a system user, an operator display module for displaying information to said user, a memory for storing said data and instructions, and processing means for performing processing operations in response to the entry of said data and said commands by said user, a method for generating a display on said operator display module comprising the steps in sequence of:
- (a) entering a command into said system by said user to display a form;
- (b) in response to said command, using said processing means to obtain said object list, corresponding to said form, from said memory;
- (c) using said processing means, assigning a plurality of tiles to each of said objects in said object list, at least one of said tiles being assigned to a group of said objects, and at least a second of said tiles being assigned to an individual one of said objects;
- and
- (d) using said processing means, displaying said tiles on said operator display module.

- (a) entering a command into said system by said user to display a form;
- (b) in response to said command, using said processing means to obtain said object list, corresponding to said form, from said memory;
- (c) using said processing means, eliminating an object from said object list if said object is not a monitored object;
- (d) using said processing means, obtaining a prioritization list, corresponding to said form, from said memory;
- (e) using said processing means, prioritizing said object list according to said prioritization list;
- (f) using said processing means, assigning a plurality of tiles to each of said objects to be displayed in said object list, at least one of said tiles being assigned to a group of said objects, and at least a second of said tiles being assigned to an individual one of said objects;
- and
- (g) using said processing means, displaying said tiles on said operator display module.
