Abstract
A method for performing a task in a software application begins by determining a state of at least one data item, such as by determining a state of at least one configuration setting. After determining the states of the data items, at least one data item is identified based upon the state of the data items. For example, data items having a non-configured state can be identified. Thereafter, at least one operational display of the software application is presented based upon the identified data items. For example, the operational displays presented can comprise electronic pages formatted for display by a connectivity application. Each operational display presented includes at least one field for receiving at least one identified data item. After presenting the operational displays of the software application, the identified data items are received into the fields of the respective operational displays.
