Systems and methods for generating a self-updating maintenance page
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of generating self-updating maintenance pages from a database, comprising:
- receiving at least a portion of metadata from a database, the portion of the metadata being configured for defining the appearance of interactive user interface pages;
generating a display of a first self-updating maintenance page based on the portion of the metadata received from the database, wherein the first self-updating maintenance page enables the creation and modification of the interactive user interface pages without compilation of source code;
receiving one or more instructions from a user via a field of the first self-updating maintenance page;
updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to generate updated metadata associated with the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page;
modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata;
receiving one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page to create a second self-updating maintenance page;
generating and displaying the second self-updating maintenance page based on the one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page;
receiving, via a field of the second self-updating maintenance page, one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page;
updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page;
modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata; and
displaying the first self-updating maintenance page.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating interactive user interface pages from a data store. At least a portion of metadata is received from a data store, wherein the appearance and functionality of a plurality of interactive user interface pages is based on the metadata. The display and functionality of an interactive maintenance page is generated based on at least a portion of the metadata, wherein the interactive maintenance page is one of the plurality of interactive user interface pages, and wherein the interactive maintenance page maintains the plurality of interactive user interface pages. One or more instructions are received from the interactive maintenance page. The metadata is updated based upon the one or more instructions, and the appearance and functionality of at least one of the interactive user interface pages and/or the interactive maintenance page is modified based on the metadata.

10. A system for generating interactive user interface pages from a data storage device, the system including:
-
a data storage device storing instructions for generating interactive user interface pages in a network environment; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including; receiving at least a portion of metadata from a database, the portion of the metadata being configured for defining the appearance of interactive user interface pages; generating a display of a first self-updating maintenance page based on the portion of the metadata received from the database, wherein the first self-updating maintenance page enables the creation and modification of the interactive user interface pages without compilation of source code; receiving one or more instructions from a user via a field of the first self-updating maintenance page; updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to generate updated metadata associated with the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page; modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata; receiving one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page to create a second self-updating maintenance page; generating and displaying the second self-updating maintenance page based on the one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page; receiving, via a field of the second self-updating maintenance page, one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page; updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page; modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata; and displaying the first self-updating maintenance page. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for generating interactive user interface pages from a database, the method including:
-
receiving at least a portion of metadata from a database, the portion of the metadata being configured for defining the appearance of interactive user interface pages; generating a display of a first self-updating maintenance page based on the portion of the metadata received from the database, wherein the first self-updating maintenance page enables the creation and modification of the interactive user interface pages without compilation of source code; receiving one or more instructions from a user via a field of the first self-updating maintenance page; updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to generate updated metadata associated with the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page; modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata; receiving one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page to create a second self-updating maintenance page; generating and displaying the second self-updating maintenance page based on the one or more additional instructions from the user via the first self-updating maintenance page; receiving, via a field of the second self-updating maintenance page, one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page; updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to modify the first self-updating maintenance page; modifying the appearance and functionality of the first self-updating maintenance page based on the updated metadata; and displaying the first self-updating maintenance page. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
