Seamless morphing from scenario model to system-based instance visualization

A system comprising:

• at least one programmable processor;
• and
• a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, via interaction by a user with a first visual depiction relating to a first abstraction layer of a single meta-model, a navigation command requesting transitioning of the first visual depiction to a second visual depiction relating to a second abstraction layer of the single meta-model, the single meta-model comprising metadata defining a business scenario landscape, the business scenario landscape comprising a plurality of business scenarios accessible to members of an organization and supported by a business software architecture, the metadata comprising business scenario definitions and relationships between business scenarios in the business scenario landscape;
• transitioning, through visual morphing, from the first visual depiction to the second visual depiction, the first visual depiction and the second visual depiction containing different levels of detail relating to a business scenario within the business scenario landscape for the organization;
• and
• providing, through each of the first visual depiction and the second visual depiction displayed on a display device, direct access to user interface features via which the user is enabled to perform at least one of viewing, modifying, entering, and creating transaction data relating to a specific instance of the business scenario.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• transitioning, through visual morphing, from the first visual depiction to the second visual depiction, the first visual depiction and the second visual depiction containing different levels of detail relating to a business scenario within the business scenario landscape for the organization;
• and
• providing, through each of the first visual depiction and the second visual depiction displayed on a display device, direct access to user interface features via which the user is enabled to perform at least one of viewing, modifying, entering, and creating transaction data relating to a specific instance of the business scenario.
