Abstract
A method and a system for entering data (12-15) in a data processing system is provided. In this case, the data is entered in a number of steps, with a view being displayed at a step in a display region of a display means, with the entering and/or display taking place in subsequent steps at least partially as a function of the data entered in one or a number of preceding steps. To design the step-by-step entering of data in a more user friendly manner, it is proposed to simultaneously display the views of a number of consecutive steps in the display region.
