LINEAR VISUALIZATION FOR OVERVIEW, STATUS DISPLAY, AND NAVIGATION ALONG BUSINESS SCENARIO INSTANCES

摘要

Transactional data associated with a specific instance of a business scenario that includes an intersecting process feature requiring prerequisite action by a prerequisite process feature that is part of another business scenario can be linked to a scenario model providing a linearized representation in which other process features of the business scenario, the intersecting process feature, and the prerequisite process feature are arranged in a linear sequence. A navigation pane including a linear progression of user interface elements representing the linear sequence can be concurrently displayed with a work pane including other user interface elements corresponding to functionality provided by business software architecture features related to a currently selected process feature. The navigation pane display can expand at a selected user interface element to display additional user interface elements corresponding to process features involved in completion of the process feature corresponding to the selected first user interface element.
