Abstract

A computer program is provided in which a second, or subsequent, user of an application is permitted to bypass the steps involved in logging onto the application and navigating through a series of preliminary screens by being granted the seat, or screen level, of a first user who has exited the program. The program archives the application screen level and assigns a macro that is adapted to accessing the first user'"'"'s screen level by the second or subsequent user.

Claims

1. A process for enabling a subsequent user to enter an application at a screen level from which a first user exited the application, comprising the steps of:

(a) archiving the screen level from which the first user exited the application;

(b) receiving a request from a subsequent user to enter the application; and

(c) allowing the subsequent user to enter the application at a screen level at which the first user exited the application.

2. The process as described in claim 1, further comprising assigning a macro associated with the screen that is active when the first user exits the application.

3. The process as described in claim 1, further comprising providing a connection pool for archiving the screen level of the first user when the first user exits the application.

4. A process for enabling a subsequent user to enter an application at a level from which a first user exited the application, comprising the steps of:

(a) allowing a first user of the application to open the application;

(b) allowing the first user to log on to the application;

(c) allowing the first user to navigate through multiple screen levels to attain a screen level for use;

(d) allowing the first user to use the application;

(e) allowing the first user to exit the application;

(f) archiving the screen level from which the first user exits the application;

(g) receiving a request from a subsequent user to enter the application; and

(h) allowing the subsequent user to enter the application at the screen level from which the first user exited.

5. The process as described in claim 4, further comprising assigning a macro associated with the screen that is active when the first user exits the application.
