Computing devices with small screens tend to need data and functionality divided into various views. This may lead to an increased navigation overhead for the user who has to scroll round and switch views to find the right data/functionality. In the present invention, each application 'knows' what its most useful views and states are. These are either determined by the system designer or configured by the user so that the user interface presents what is most useful for them first. The list of these views and states is made available for user access and selection in the application switcher or in a particular 'starting view'. From here the user can not only switch to an application in a standard view, or, 'Base' view, but can select to switch to that application in one of the predetermined views or states, thus obviating the need to navigate, once the application is displayed, to the appropriate view or state.
