Abstract
A method and apparatus for updating a user interface for a business process in response to a change in the business process instigated by a user. The change is detected by the application and the affected user interfaces are updated to reflect the changed process without the need to recompile the application. Changes to the user interface are generated from known portions of the existing user interfaces as well as the information added during the new or reordered steps in the process.
