1. A method for generating a user interface display, comprising:
- receiving inputs from a user that operate to identify a set of objects;
receiving inputs from the user that operate to identify one or more data fields that are contained in a data record associated with each object of the set of objects and that the user wishes displayed on a tile or card representing the object;
generating a visual display of each object in the set of objects as a tile or card in a region of the display;
receiving inputs from the user that operate to select, move, and indicate a new position or location for one or more of the tiles or cards; and
creating or updating a data field in the data record associated with one or more of the objects, the data field containing a unique identifier for the position of each tile or card displayed on the visual display.

Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for generating or modifying a display of objects using a “drag and drop” metaphor and coupling that to the processing of data records in a database. This results in a modification of the underlying records as needed to reflect the changes to the arrangement or ordering of content representing a set of objects.

20. A multi-tenant data processing system, comprising:
-
an electronic data processing element; one or more business related data processing applications installed in the system and accessible by a plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant data processing system; a data storage element accessible by a plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant data processing system; a set of instructions stored on a non-transient medium and executable by the electronic data processing element, which when executed cause the system to receive inputs from a user that operate to identify a set of objects; receive inputs from the user that operate to identify one or more data fields that are contained in a data record associated with each object of the set of objects and stored in the data storage element, and that the user wishes displayed on a tile or card representing the object; generate a visual display of each object in the set of objects as a tile or card in a region of the display, where each region is a space or element of a grid; receive inputs from the user that operate to select, move, and indicate a new position or location for one or more of the tiles or cards; and create or update a data field in the data record associated with one or more of the objects, the data field containing a unique identifier for the position of each tile or card displayed on the visual display. - View Dependent Claims (21)
