Insertion of a business object creation interface into an application window

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• providing a list of business objects used in a business application;
• displaying the list of business objects in an application window in a client application;
• receiving a request to create a new type of business object in the displayed list of business objects in the application window, the request including one or more business object attributes;
• determining a type of business object based on the one or more business object attributes;
• retrieving a new business object of the determined type from a business objects repository;
• identifying a plurality of fields associated with the retrieved business object;
• and
• selecting a subset of the plurality of fields associated with the retrieved business object;
• causing a business object creation interface to be inserted into the application window in response to the receiving the request, the business object creation interface including the selected subset of fields to allow user-entry of information for the new business object;
• receiving, via the business object creation interface, information entered into the one or more fields;
• generating the new business object with the received information;
• causing the new business object to be added to the list of business objects displayed in the application window;
• and
• causing the business object creation interface to be removed from the application window,
• wherein causing the new business object to be added to the list of business objects displayed in the application window includes temporarily color highlighting the new business object, the color highlighting of the new business object being terminated after one or more events occurs, the events including at least one of the application window being closed, or receiving an additional selection of a create business object icon to create a second new business object.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors and a memory;
• providing logic configured to provide a list of business objects used in a business application and display the list of business objects in an application window in a client application;
• request receiving logic configured to receive a request to create a new type of business object in the displayed list of business objects, the request including one or more business object attributes;
• determining logic configured to determine a type of business object based on the one or more business object attributes;
• retrieving logic configured to retrieve a new business object of the determined type from a business objects repository;
• identification logic configured to identify a plurality of fields associated with the retrieved business object;
• and
• selection logic configured to select a subset of the plurality of fields associated with retrieved business object;
• insertion logic configured to cause a business object creation interface to be inserted into the application window in response to the receiving the request, the business object creation interface including the selected subset of fields to allow user-entry of information for the new business object;
• information receiving logic configured to receive, via the business object creation interface, information entered into the one or more fields;
• generating logic configured to generate the new business object with the received information;
• adding logic configured to cause the new business object to be added to the list of business objects in the application window, wherein the adding logic is further configured to temporarily color highlight the new business object, the color highlighting of the new business object being terminated after one or more events occurs, the events including at least one of the application window being closed, or receiving an additional selection of a create business object icon to create a second new business object;
• and
• removing logic configured to cause the business object creation interface to be removed from the application window.
