Generating user help information for customized user interface
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising a data processor and a memory device for generating user help information for a customized user interface, the customized user interface including at least one user interface component from a library of user interface components, the apparatus being configured to perform, responsive to the data processor executing program code stored in the memory device, steps of:
- associating library component help information with each user interface component in the library of user interface components;
identifying component help information from the library component help information for each component in the customized user interface; and
aggregating the identified component help information into user help information for presentation to a user of the customized user interface, wherein the component help information includes an indication of a type of user interface control and a priority that are both used when aggregating to order the component help information in the user help information based on the type of user interface control and the priority.
