Patent ID: 7428724

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of generating an interactive user interface for a work management tool, comprising: generating at least one workflow map image containing a plurality of objects, the objects including a plurality of activity blocks, each activity block corresponding to an activity in a project, wherein at least two of said plurality of activity blocks are linked corresponding to dependencies between said at least two activity blocks and are divided into at least two functional swimlanes corresponding to at least two functional groups; linking location information of at least one object with data corresponding to said at least one object; displaying said data corresponding to said at least one object on the interactive user interface; displaying at least a portion of said at least one workflow map image as the interactive user interface; detecting the location information of a selected object chosen by a user; retrieving the data indicated by the linking step corresponding to the location information of the selected object; generating a main image file and a miniature image file from the workflow map image, and wherein the displaying step comprises: displaying the miniature image file in a navigation tool with a viewing window encompassing a portion of the miniature image file; and displaying a portion of the main image file in a main map frame, wherein the portion of the main image file displayed in the main map frame corresponds to the portion of the miniature image file encompassed by the viewing window.
