A plurality of registrations corresponding to a user interface component can be stored. Based on at least one of a layer of a software architecture to which a specific user of a user interface has authorized access, an assignment of a work center view to the user, and business data, it can be determined that the user interface presented to the user should include a navigation target to the user interface component. At run time, a navigation link to the user interface component can be dynamically generated according to a relevant registration selected from the plurality of registrations. The user interface incorporating the navigation link to the user interface component can be displayed. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.

Dynamic determination of navigation targets in a flexible user interface environment

All metadata relevant to user interface functionality needed to provide a specific unit of business functionality can be stored in one of a plurality of autonomous metadata containers retained on at least one data storage device. After a subset of available business functionality to be provided to a user is determined, a set of the plurality of autonomous metadata containers required to provide the subset of available business functions can be identified. A user interface view can be generated to present a view associated with each of the set of the plurality of autonomous metadata containers, and the generated user interface view can be provided for display to the user. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.

Metadata container-based user interface flexibility

Upon receiving a request for a user interface view from a user interface, a user identity and a user authorization class for a user of the user interface can be checked against a user registry and an authorization class registry, respectively. A user interface view component can be retrieved according to the user identity and the user authorization class. The user interface view can be generated by aggregating the retrieved user interface view component with at least one other user interface view component consistent with the user identity and user authorization class, and the generated user interface view can be returned for display to the user via the user interface. Related systems, articles of manufacture, and computer-implemented methods are described.
