Abstract
A role based graphical user interface (UI) is used for receiving user input for entry/editing relating to projects/tasks using a limited display device. Functional components are grouped into logical hubs that may be displayed within the user interface. The groupings of the components are based on a role of a user (e.g. project manager, project participant, contractor, . . . ). For example, for one or more users, the role based graphical UI may group the following components together: expense entry and approval; time entry and approval; notification messages; collaboration of information (e.g. documents, project information, and the like); reporting; and settings. After selecting one of the components from the role based UI, a user may use a displayed component for interacting with the functionality (e.g. entering an expense, time entry, . . . ). The UI is configured to allow navigation between the different functions included within the logical hubs.
