Patent ID: 7860901

Claim:
A method, comprising: transmitting first computer-readable program code to a computer, said first computer-readable program code enabling said computer to render a first user interface, wherein the first user interface enables a user to define a mapping in a repository, wherein the mapping when defined can be retrieved from the repository during runtime to dynamically generate a first and a second user interface component of a second user interface, wherein the mapping comprises a first logical entity that corresponds to the first user interface component, and a second logical entity that corresponds to the second user interface component, wherein each logical entity associates columns from two or more tables into a single structure, the mapping associates the first and the second logical entities into a logical unit of information, and the mapping maps a column of the single structure of the first logical entity to a field of the first user interface component, a column of the single structure of the second logical entity to a field of the second user interface component, and the logical unit of information to the second user interface.
