Zusammenfassung:Techniques are disclosed for linearizing interfaces within computing applications. In some embodiments, the techniques include defining a sequence of user interface elements, where at least a subset of user interface elements in the sequence of user interface elements correspond to controls for affecting a session state. Responsive to receiving an input value through a user interface element, a linearization process adds the input value to at least one dataset for evaluating a current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements. The process further evaluates the current state for each respective user interface element subsequent to the user interface element in the sequence of user interface elements based on values within the at least one data set. The process may disable and/or enable one or more user interface elements based on the evaluation.
