A cursor control system and method are provided. The method may include receiving a first input from a cursor control device that places a cursor in an engaged state. The method may further include receiving an indication to switch from a gross cursor control mode to an engaged cursor control mode while the cursor is in the engaged state. The method may also include, in response to receiving the indication to switch from the gross cursor control mode to the engaged cursor control mode, switching from the gross cursor control mode to the engaged cursor control mode and locking the cursor in the engaged state such that the cursor maintains the engaged state even after the first input from the cursor control device has terminated. The method may additionally include, in response to receiving a second input, performing an operation on a screen object the engaged cursor control mode.

Cursor control

A computer system identifies hand strokes generated while a user produces handwritten text. Based on the hand strokes, characters are identified. Based on the characters, words are identified. The words are checked for spelling, and the user is notified of any misspelled words.

Removable spell checker device

A method according to one embodiment includes outputting one page of a multipage compilation of information. The method also includes receiving a request to show portions of multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information, the request originating from a user input device and including an indication of which portions of the multiple pages of the multipage compilation to select. Also, the method includes selecting the portions of the multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information according to the indication and generating a view having the selected portions. Moreover, the method includes outputting the view having the selected portions to a graphical display device. The selected portions output to the graphical display device include a selectable number of first cells of each first row of each of the multiple pages. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in accordance with more embodiments.

Generating a representative view for a multipage compilation of information

Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for displaying computer dashboard information are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, historical values associated with time intervals are displayed in a single gauge. The historical values are arranged in such a manner that at least one of the historical values is contrasted against a current value for comparison as a single metric. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

Displaying computer dashboard information

A method for managing a system may include gathering, with a system manager, data about a first system event and a second system event. The method further includes determining, with the system manager, a plurality of first system event attribute values and a plurality of second system event attribute values. The first and second system event attribute values are based on the data gathered about the first and second system event. The method further includes generating, with the system manager, a display of the plurality of first system event attribute values in hierarchal relation to the plurality of second system event attribute values.

Management of system events using one or more event attributes

In an approach for selecting a version of a webpage to present to a user, a processor receives a request to access a webpage from a device, wherein the webpage includes a plurality of versions of the webpage. A processor receives information about the device. A processor determines a version of the webpage to present, based on the information about the device and a predefined goal associated with the webpage. A processor causes the version of the webpage to be presented.

Flexible analytics-driven webpage design and optimization

A method of graphically duplicating graphic objects through the steps of a computer: receiving a selection of at least two objects and a direction of duplication along an axis. A zero axis point, a farthest axis point for the objects based on the direction of duplication, and a proximal object is determined. A proximal offset point equivalent to a farthest point on the proximal object from the zero axis point is set. A distal object is determined from the objects based on the direction of duplication along the axis, with a starting point of the distal object being designated as a distal offset point. An offset distance equal to a distance between the distal offset point and the proximal offset point is determined. The selection of the objects is duplicated and placed immediately after the farthest axis point plus the offset distance from the farthest axis point.

Duplication of objects with positioning based on object distance

A method according to one embodiment includes outputting one page of a multipage compilation of information. The method also includes receiving a request to show portions of multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information, the request originating from a user input device and including an indication of which portions of the multiple pages of the multipage compilation to select. Also, the method includes selecting the portions of the multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information according to the indication and generating a view having the selected portions. Moreover, the method includes outputting the view having the selected portions to a graphical display device. The selected portions output to the graphical display device include a first row of each of the multiple pages. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in accordance with more embodiments.

A method according to one embodiment includes outputting one page of a multipage compilation of information; receiving a request to show portions of multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information, the request originating from a user input device; selecting the portions of the multiple pages of the multipage compilation of information; generating a view having the selected portions; and outputting the view to a graphical display device.

System, method, and computer program product for generating a representative view for a multipage compilation of information

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for providing an interface for data entry into a webform. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a selection of an active data-entry field, determining an inline label associated with the active data-entry field, determining which data-entry fields are required data-entry fields, and determining a location of an active data-entry field within a webform. The method further includes calculating an estimated time to complete the webform based on historical data for the active data-entry field and mobile webform. The method further includes providing an interface for the webform that includes information corresponding to the active data-entry field, the determined inline label, an indication of whether or not the active data-entry field is required, the calculated estimated time to complete the webform, and an indication of the determined location of the active data-entry field within the webform.
