System and software for creation and modification of software
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a user interface associated with a particular step in a workflow associated with an application, the method comprising:
- executing, on a digital data processor, the workflow associated with the application, wherein execution of the workflow creates at least one instance of a data object; and
displaying a plurality of user interface elements including a visual indication that the particular step is currently selected for execution by the digital data processor as part of the workflow, wherein execution of the particular step will create a first instance of the data object using the workflow; and
displaying a first element among the plurality of user interface elements, wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the digital data processor executes the particular step to create the first instance of the data object and the user interface prompts to create a second instance of the data object using the workflow while visually indicating that the particular step is still currently selected for execution as part of the workflow, the user interface further comprising a section for listing object instances that have already been created, and wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the section is updated to list the created first instance of the data object.

Abstract
Described herein is a system comprising an App Generator (application generator) comprising executable program instructions that define one or more constraints. The one or more constraints embody one or more rules for converting an information structure into one or more components of a software application. The system also includes a digital data processor executing said executable program instructions to: i. provide a user interface; ii. accept input data that defines the information structure; and iii. apply the one or more constraints to said input data to generate the one or more components of the software application.

8. A system for displaying a user interface associated with a particular step in a workflow associated with an application, the system comprising:
-
a memory; and a digital data processor configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory to; execute the workflow associated with the application, wherein execution of the workflow creates at least one instance of a data object; display a plurality of user interface elements including a visual indication that the particular step is currently selected for execution by the digital data processor as part of the workflow, wherein execution of the particular step will create a first instance of the data object using the workflow; and display a first element among the plurality of user interface elements, wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the digital data processor executes the particular step to create the first instance of the data object and the user interface prompts to create a second instance of the data object using the workflow while visually indicating that the particular step is still currently selected for execution as part of the workflow, the user interface further comprising a section for listing object instances that have already been created, and wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the section is updated to list the created first instance of the data object. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium providing program code for use by a digital data processor, operable for displaying a user interface associated with a particular step in a workflow associated with an application, and when executed operable to:
-
execute, using the digital data processor, the workflow associated with the application, wherein execution of the workflow creates at least one instance of a data object; display a plurality of user interface elements including a visual indication that the particular step is currently selected for execution by the digital data processor as part of the workflow, wherein execution of the particular step will create a first instance of the data object using the workflow; and display a first element among the plurality of user interface elements, wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the digital data processor executes the particular step to create the first instance of the data object and the user interface prompts to create a second instance of the data object using the workflow while visually indicating that the particular step is still currently selected for execution as part of the workflow, the user interface further comprising a section for listing object instances that have already been created, and wherein responsive to selecting the first element, the section is updated to list the created first instance of the data object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
