Abstract

A user interface may be generated from a schema and a rule template to create data usable by an application. The schema may define the broad constraints of the data acceptable to the application, and the rule template may include specialized knowledge or logic for selecting appropriate data values. An automated user interface generator may use default values or information in the rule template to generate a user interface. In one embodiment, a schema and rule template may be used to generate policies for managing computing devices in an enterprise environment. The rule template may include rules that reflect expert knowledge or recommendations for selecting settings, and may include complex rules that incorporate attributes or values from several different configurable parameters.
