Abstract

A method may include generating a desktop including a plurality of objects organized in accordance with at least one of a theme and a structure; generating a toolbar configured for presentation with the desktop; and generating, based on the multi-level zoom, a second view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects and a third view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects, the second view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the first view, and the third view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the second view, the first, second, and third views maintaining the same context within the toolbar, when presented with respect to the toolbar.

Claims (26)

1 . A computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

generating a desktop including a plurality of objects organized in accordance with at least one of a theme and a structure;

generating a toolbar configured for presentation with the desktop, the toolbar being configured with at least one of the plurality of objects presented as a first view configured for multi-level zoom; and

generating, based on the multi-level zoom, a second view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects and a third view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects, the second view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the first view, and the third view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the second view, the first, second, and third views maintaining the same context within the toolbar, when presented with respect to the toolbar.

2 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the theme comprises at least one of a project, a role of a user, and a work flow.

3 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the structure comprises a grid.

4 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of objects comprise a plurality of graphical elements, and wherein at least one of the graphical elements represents a link to an action on a business object in a enterprise resource planning system.

5 . The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a first selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the second view, and a second selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the third view.

6 . A method comprising:

generating a desktop including a plurality of objects organized in accordance with at least one of a theme and a structure;

generating a toolbar configured for presentation with the desktop, the toolbar being configured with at least one of the plurality of objects presented as a first view configured for multi-level zoom; and

generating, based on the multi-level zoom, a second view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects and a third view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects, the second view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the first view, and the third view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the second view, the first, second, and third views maintaining the same context within the toolbar, when presented with respect to the toolbar.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the theme comprises at least one of a project, a role of a user, and a work flow.

8 . The method of claim 6 wherein the structure comprises a grid.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of objects comprise a plurality of graphical elements, and wherein at least one of the graphical elements represents a link to an action on a business object in a enterprise resource planning system.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a first selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the second view, and a second selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the third view.

11 . A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including code which when executed by the at least one processor provides operations comprising:

generating a desktop including a plurality of objects organized in accordance with at least one of a theme and a structure;

generating a toolbar configured for presentation with the desktop, the toolbar being configured with at least one of the plurality of objects presented as a first view configured for multi-level zoom; and

generating, based on the multi-level zoom, a second view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects and a third view representative of the at least one of the plurality of objects, the second view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the first view, and the third view providing more content of the at least one of the plurality of objects when compared to the second view, the first, second, and third views maintaining the same context within the toolbar, when presented with respect to the toolbar.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the theme comprises at least one of a project, a role of a user, and a work flow.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the structure comprises a grid.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of objects comprise a plurality of graphical elements, and wherein at least one of the graphical elements represents a link to an action on a business object in a enterprise resource planning system.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein a first selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the second view, and a second selection of the multi-level zoom at the toolbar provides the third view.
