42. A program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a computing device, performs a method comprising:
-
determining a context and an input data requirement for a candidate action to be selected, the selection specifying an action in a workflow, wherein determining the context and the input data requirement comprises identifying a previously selected action; and filtering, for user selection of one or more of the candidate actions, the candidate actions for relevance with respect to the context and the input data requirement, wherein filtering comprises providing the highest relevance to candidate actions that accept as input any data and providing all other candidate actions the lowest relevance. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45)
