METHOD FOR PROVIDING A USER INTERFACE, COMPUTER SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

A method provides a user interface for a computer system including providing a formal definition of a structured system configuration including at least one configuration unit having a plurality of configuration parameters; creating at least one configuration module assigned to the configuration unit; linking the configuration module to a configuration entity to retrieve configuration values assigned to the configuration parameters; retrieving configuration values from the configuration entity, and generating a user interface specific to the at least one configuration unit on the basis of at least one generic template for presenting the plurality of configuration parameters associated with the configuration unit and the associated configuration values retrieved for at least one predetermined client.

1. A method of providing a user interface for a computer system comprising:
providing a formal definition of a structured system configuration comprising at least one configuration unit having a plurality of configuration parameters; creating at least one configuration module assigned to the at least one configuration unit and having methods of determining and retrieving associated configuration parameters and configuration values assigned to the configuration parameters; linking the at least one configuration module to a configuration entity of the computer system to retrieve configuration values assigned to the configuration parameters; retrieving configuration values for the plurality of configuration parameters for the at least one configuration module from the configuration entity; and generating a user interface specific to the at least one configuration unit on the basis of at least one generic, client-specific template from a plurality of templates for presenting the plurality of configuration parameters associated with the configuration unit and the associated configuration values retrieved from the configuration entity for at least one predetermined client, the at least one template being generic with respect to the configuration module and specific with respect to a type of a client used by a user.
