Method to dynamically view and update adaptive process document
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for managing a partially completed dynamic process execution (PCDPE), said PCDPE representing a dynamic process that is partially completed by a user, comprising:
- ascertaining whether a change has occurred to at least one of a prompt component and a response component associated with said dynamic process;
if said change has occurred, performing steps a) and b) a) ascertaining whether a completed process step of said PCDPE requires updating responsive to said change; and
b) if said completed process step requires updating, performing an update action on said completed process step.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing a partially completed dynamic process execution (PCDPE). The PCDPE represents a dynamic process that is partially completed by a user. The method includes ascertaining whether a change has occurred to at least one of a prompt component and a response component associated with the dynamic process. The method also includes, if a change has occurred, ascertaining whether a completed process step of the PCDPE requires updating responsive to the change. The method further includes, if the completed process step requires updating, performing an update action on the completed process step.

8. An article of manufacture comprising a program storage medium having computer readable code embodied therein, said computer readable code being configured to manage a partially completed dynamic process execution (PCDPE), said PCDPE representing a dynamic process that is partially completed by a user, comprising:
-
computer readable code for ascertaining whether a change has occurred to at least one of a prompt component and a response component associated with said dynamic process;
computer readable code for performing steps a) and b) if said change has occurred, wherein step a) involves computer readable code for ascertaining whether a completed process step of said PCDPE requires updating responsive to said change; and
step b) involves computer readable code for performing, if said completed process step requires updating, an update action on said completed process step. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method configured for managing a partially completed dynamic process execution (PCDPE), said PCDPE being associated with a given version of a dynamic process, said PCDPE involving at least one completed process step and at least one incomplete step, comprising:
-
ascertaining whether a subsequent version of said dynamic process involves a change to said at least one completed process step; and
if there exists said change, performing an update action on said at least one completed process step. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
