Abstract

An enterprise management software system that provides configuring scoping elements based on business scenario. The enterprise management software system may executed on computing devices to perform a method. The method may comprise providing an option to perform scoping by business scenario, and upon selection of scoping by business scenario, displaying a plurality of pre-defined business scenarios. Further, the method may comprise displaying a process flow of the selected pre-defined business scenario upon selection of a pre-defined business scenario, and providing immediate changes to scoping elements based on the selected pre-defined business scenario.

Claims (43)

1 . A method of configuring scoping elements based on business scenario, comprising:

providing, using a processor, a user interface;

providing, using said processor, an option to perform scoping by business scenario;

upon selection of scoping by business scenario, displaying a plurality of pre-defined business scenarios;

upon selection of a pre-defined business scenario, displaying a process flow of the selected pre-defined business scenario; and

providing immediate changes to scoping elements based on the selected pre-defined business scenario.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios includes a plurality of pre-defined processes.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios further includes at least one optional process.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the optional process is activatable.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the optional process is activated by a pop menu upon right click of a mouse.

6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein when the optional process is activated, relevant scoping elements are automatically added to a list for scoping elements to show more detailed information.

7 . A computing device, comprising:

storage for computer program instructions,

a display device, and

a computer processor configured to execute the computer instructions to:

provide, using said computer processor, a user interface;

provide, using said computer processor, an option to perform scoping by business scenario;

upon selection of scoping by business scenario, display a plurality of pre-defined business scenarios;

upon selection of a pre-defined business scenario, display a process flow of the selected pre-defined business scenario; and

provide immediate changes to scoping elements based on the selected pre-defined business scenario.

8 . The computing device of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios includes a plurality of pre-defined processes.

9 . The computing device of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios further includes at least one optional process.

10 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein the optional process is activatable.

11 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the optional process is activated by a pop menu upon right click of a mouse.

12 . The computing device of claim 9 , wherein when the optional process is activated, relevant scoping elements are automatically added to a list for scoping elements to show more detailed information.

13 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

provide, using a processor, a user interface;

provide, using said processor, an option to perform scoping by business scenario;

upon selection of scoping by business scenario, display a plurality of pre-defined business scenarios;

upon selection of a pre-defined business scenario, display a process flow of the selected pre-defined business scenario; and

provide immediate changes to scoping elements based on the selected pre-defined business scenario.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios includes a plurality of pre-defined processes.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios further includes at least one optional process.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the optional process is activatable.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the optional process is activated by a pop menu upon right click of a mouse.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein when the optional process is activated, relevant scoping elements are automatically added to a list for scoping elements to show more detailed information.

19 . A method of configuring scoping elements based on business scenario, comprising:

providing, using a processor, a user interface;

providing, using said processor, a plurality of options including performing scoping by business scenario and scoping by business area;

upon selection of scoping by business scenario, displaying a plurality of pre-defined business scenarios, wherein each of the plurality of pre-defined business scenarios includes a plurality of pre-defined processes;

upon selection of a pre-defined business scenario, displaying a process flow of the selected pre-defined business scenario, wherein the selected pre-defined business scenario includes at least one optional process, when the optional process is activated, relevant scoping elements are automatically added to a list for scoping elements to show more detailed information; and

providing immediate changes to scoping elements based on the selected pre-defined business scenario.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein in the displayed process flow, each pre-defined process and optional process for the selected pre-defined business scenario are displayed with detailed description.
