    generating a display of a first interactive maintenance page based on the portion of the metadata received from the database, wherein the first interactive maintenance page is one of the plurality of interactive user interface pages, the first interactive maintenance page comprising a plurality of fields, and wherein the first interactive maintenance page enables creation and modification of the plurality of interactive user interface pages;

    receiving one or more instructions from a user via the plurality of fields of the first interactive maintenance page;

    updating the portion of the metadata received from the database based upon the one or more instructions to generate updated metadata associated with the appearance and functionality of the first interactive maintenance page to add to the plurality of fields a first maintenance field displayable on the first interactive maintenance page;

    modifying the appearance and functionality of the first interactive maintenance page based on the updated metadata, by adding the first maintenance field to the first interactive maintenance page without modifying source code associated with the generation of the first interactive maintenance page;

    receiving one or more additional instructions from the user via the first interactive maintenance page to update the updated metadata to create a second interactive maintenance page, wherein the second interactive maintenance page enables modification of the plurality of interactive user interface pages;

    receiving, via the first interactive maintenance page, one or more instructions to add a second maintenance field to the second interactive maintenance page, wherein the second interactive maintenance page and second maintenance field are created without modifying the source code, and wherein the second maintenance field is not present in the plurality of fields of the first interactive maintenance page;

    receiving, via the second maintenance field of the second interactive maintenance page, one or more instructions to modify the first interactive maintenance page; and
