Tool for configuring available functions of an application
First Claim
1. A method for configuring web pages, comprising:
- receiving a request for a web page comprising displayable content including user-selectable elements through which a user invokes one or more executable functions;
providing the web page with the displayable content;
parsing the web page to identify the user-selectable elements;
disabling at least portion of the user-selectable elements on the basis of a pre-defined transform definition to produce a re-configured web page; and
then returning the re-configured web page for display.

Abstract
Methods, systems and articles of manufacture for controlling accessibility to application functions and for configuring user interfaces to restrict access to available application functions. In one embodiment, a request is received for a web page comprising displayable content including user-selectable elements through which a user invokes one or more executable functions. The web page is provided the displayable content and then parsed to identify the user-selectable elements. At least portion of the user-selectable elements are disabled on the basis of a pre-defined transform definition to produce a re-configured web page. The re-configured web page is then returned for display.

7. A method for defining content in user interfaces, comprising:
-
determining displayable, user-selectable elements of an electronic document, each displayable, user-selectable element being associated with a respective function available for selection by a user viewing the electronic document;
displaying the determined user-selectable elements in a document configuration interface;
receiving, from the document configuration interface, at least one user selection of one of the displayable, user-selectable elements;
on the basis of the at least one user selection, generating an interface transform component defining a user-defined version of the electronic document;
in response to a request from a user for the electronic document;
providing the electronic document;
invoking the interface transform component;
on the basis of the invoked interface transform component, reconfiguring the provided electronic document to output the user-defined version of the electronic document; and
returning the user-defined version of the electronic document to the user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A computer readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation for configuring web pages, the operation comprising:
-
receiving a request for a web page comprising displayable content including user-selectable elements through which a user invokes one or more executable functions;
providing the web page with the displayable content;
parsing the web page to identify the user-selectable elements;
disabling at least portion of the user-selectable elements on the basis of a pre-defined transform definition to produce a re-configured web page; and
thenreturning the re-configured web page for display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation for defining content in user interfaces, the operation comprising:
-
determining displayable, user-selectable elements of an electronic document, each displayable, user-selectable element being associated with a respective function available for selection by a user viewing the electronic document;
displaying the determined user-selectable elements in a document configuration interface;
receiving, from the document configuration interface, at least one user selection of one of the displayable, user-selectable elements;
on the basis of the at least one user selection, generating an interface transform component defining a user-defined version of the electronic document;
in response to a request from a user for the electronic document;
providing the electronic document;
invoking the interface transform component;
on the basis of the invoked interface transform component, reconfiguring the provided electronic document to output the user-defined version of the electronic document; and
returning the user-defined version of the electronic document to the user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A system for reconfiguring content displayed in user interfaces, comprising:
-
a parser for determining user-selectable elements of a web page, each user-selectable elements being configured to invoke a function;
a reconfiguration interface for displaying a representation of the functions corresponding to the user-selectable elements determined by the parser;
wherein the reconfiguration interface allows user selection of one or more of the represented functions; and
a transform definition generator for generating a transform definition on the basis of the one or more selected functions;
wherein the transform definition is configured to be invoked after the web page is produced in response to a user request and is applied to reconfigure the web page to make the one or more selected functions inaccessible. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
