| description | The present invention provides a method for interfacing with a plurality of wizards in a computer system. The method includes providing the plurality of wizards; providing a launch button on a launch pad, the launch button associated with a wizard, wherein selection of the launch button executes the wizard; and providing information pertaining to the wizard on the launch pad. The information includes a relationship between the wizard and other wizards on the computer system, elements of the computer system affected by the wizard, and/or how to information showing how to use a user interface of an application on the computer system to accomplish a task. The present invention provides launch pads as interactive interfaces between a user of a computer system and wizards which exist on the computer system. In a preferred embodiment, the launch pads comprise links to wizards available for the performance of a particular task. A user may interface with the launch pad to obtain information associated with each wizard and also to execute the wizards. The information is provided in the form of text and/or visual objects. The text and visual objects assist the user in understanding the function of each wizard, the relationships between the wizards, and the order in which they should be executed in order to perform the task properly. The user has an overview of the complete process before the execution of each wizard. The user may perform functions more quickly and with less mistakes, boosting his/her productivity. |
