Abstract
A display device in operable communication with a computing device displays a document associated with a software application. Further, the computing device receives an element input indicating at least one element from the document. In addition, the computing device receives a parameter input indicating a control feature corresponding to the at least one element. The computing device also generates a configuration file that configures the at least one element to operate according to the control feature.
Claims24
A hardware computer program product storing a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program is executable by one or more computing devices to cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- displaying, at a display device in operable communication with an end-user computing device and as part of a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), documentation associated with a software application;
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input to the first portion of the GUI selecting at least one tree element from a list of tree elements displayed as part of the documentation;
- causing, in response to the user selection, the at least one tree element to be populated to a second portion of the GUI;
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input selecting a control feature from a plurality of selectable control features displayed in the GUI;
- causing a control parameter of the at least one tree element to be configured based on the user input selecting the control feature;
- generating, at the end-user computing device, a configuration file that configures the at least one tree element to operate according to the control feature;
- and
- causing the configuration file to be accessible to the software application to enable the software application to execute based at least in part on the configuration file.

A method comprising:
- displaying, at a display device in operable communication with an end-user computing device and as part of a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), documentation associated with a software application;
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input to the first portion of the GUI selecting at least one tree element from a list of tree elements displayed as part of the documentation;
- causing, in response to the user selection, the at least one tree element to be populated to a second portion of the GUI;
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input selecting a control feature from a plurality of selectable control features displayed in the GUI;
- causing a control parameter of the at least one tree element to be configured based on the user input selecting the control feature;
- generating, at the end-user computing device, a configuration file that configures the at least one tree element to operate according to the control feature;
- and
- causing the configuration file to be accessible to the software application to enable the software application to execute based at least in part on the configuration file.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations including:
- displaying, at an end-user computing device and as part of a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), documentation associated with a software application;
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input to the first portion of the GUI selecting at least one tree element from a list of tree elements displayed as part of the documentation;
- causing, in response to the user selection, the at least one tree element to be populated to a second portion of the GUI.,
- receiving, at the end-user computing device, user input selecting a control feature from a plurality of selectable control features displayed in the GUI;
- causing a control parameter of the at least one tree element to be configured based on the user input selecting the control feature;
- generating, at the end-user computing device, a configuration file that configures the at least one tree element to operate according to the control feature;
- and
- causing the configuration file to be accessible to the software application to enable the software application to execute based at least in part on the configuration file.
