Control TypesTo define a set of controls based on the supported control types Task Types To define Task types based on the supported task types

Project Configuration Control Types –Edit –Grid –Combo –CheckBox –Radio Button –Button –Link

Project Configuration Task Types Initialize Task –Used for pre-population of combo controls on the page with pre-determined set of values selected from the application database –Automatically executed by the system on launch of the UI /screen

Project Configuration Fetch Task –To fetch data from the database on launch of UI –Also used to set a default in the combo control

Project Configuration UI Task –The UI task has been modeled for 2 actions: –Enter Key Press on an edit control –Value selection in a combo using arrow keys

Project Configuration Trans Task –To update information to the database –To validate and fetch information Zoom Task –To zoom on a selected record from a grid

Project Configuration Help Task –To lookup and fetch data from a master list. –Involves 2 way transfer of data Link task –For Forward traversal across user interfaces

Actions (Tasks) Task-Action pattern When is this generated InitializeOne per UI to populate all the combo controls available FetchA Fetch task is generated per UI for all the combo controls available and for all the other Controls UIA UI task for every UI combo type of control with “On Select” event support and edit control with “On Enter” event support TransFor each button Control, a Trans task is generated which can subsequently be mapped to the respective sections on the screen

Actions (Tasks) Task-Action pattern When is this generated LinkOne for every Link type of control and data hyperlink control HelpA help task for every help control ZoomOne for every grid

Flow Business Rules The business rules are generated based on the control layout in the user interface and the action patterns BR Generation logic –Business rule for populating combo –Business rule for defaulting values in control(s) –Business rule for every header save, refresh etc….for the generated task type –Business rule for every multiline save, refresh etc…. for the generated task type

Proto Preview A traversable application preview is generated based on the Customer requirements and Business documents by specifying the UI layout traversal to demonstrate the business functionality to the customer.
