Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for graphically displaying status information concerning the allocation of a process resource to a process entity. More particularly, the present invention provides a method and system for displaying the booking status between process entities and process resources in a control processing system. In order to display booking status between processing entities and process resources, the present invention identifies a process resource and multiple process entities (each of each can operate with the process resource), and displays a status indicator responsive to the status of booking requests of identified process entities for the identified process resource.
