1. A method for managing information comprising:
- forming a meta data structure containing first information for;
providing a user interface,determining features for the user interface, anddetermining the contents of a profile;
forming an application data structure containing second information for;
maintaining user application information,storing user application information, anddriving an engine to generate the profile as an application; and
establishing associations between the meta data structure and the application data structure wherein the first information has the second information associated therewith to form and display a profiler; and
wherein;
forming the meta data structure includes forming master list structures having;
a field type structure having;
a list of field types available to a user,a text field,a date field, anda mask edit field;
a property type structure having;
a list of properties for a field,a list of values for a field,Boolean logic, anda new value entry;
a property structure having;
valid properties anda master list of all properties available in the profiler; and
a field type property structure.
