Abstract
This invention pertains to simplifying the modification of a process flow implemented by computer software. That is, an order of presentation of sets of data, which may be web pages, is defined in one repository so that any changes that need to be made to the order may be made in the one location, instead of having to make the change in multiple locations. The one repository, therefore, acts as a navigation repository that stores, in one location, the navigation information needed to advance from one set of data to another.
