Method for editing an object wherein steps for creating the object are

Abstract

A GUI enabling instant access to a sequence of previously executed assistance programming GUIs. The assistance programming GUIs lead the user through a specific sequence of templates until an object is created. Within each template, various prompts will solicit information variables to complete the template. The assistance program will analyze the returned variables and determine a related next step template to complete the object according to a required finished product. As each step may diverge into branches based on user input, the final result becomes an interrelated sequence of steps specific to the session history of the object creation. The sequence of assistance templates are grouped into a tabular notebook. The notebook is arranged according to the original historical relationships created during the creation of the subject. Each tab is labeled to equate to the various title bars found within each individual template. To edit an information variable, the user would select a particular tab, i.e., one or more clicks from a mouse or similar known cursor pointing device. Upon editing one or more information variables, the overall result may be changed, but the original interrelationships and dependencies defined by the sequence created during the object creation is preserved.
