Excerpt
Excerpt [0004]The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for generating a metadata-driven user interface. The teachings of the present disclosure may allow for a user interface that is dynamically rendered based on metadata.
[0005]In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present disclosure, a method comprises receiving a request for a webpage and retrieving metadata from a database. The metadata may be translated into one or more webparts. The webparts may be loaded onto the webpage, and the webpage may be displayed. More specifically, the one or more webparts may comprise one or more formlets and each formlet may comprise one or more control fields bound to metadata in the database.
[0008]Technical advantages of particular embodiments of the present disclosure include a metadata-driven user interface. This may allow a user interface to be dynamically rendered based on metadata in a database. Further technical advantages of particular embodiments include the ability of a user to modify or customize the user interface by changing the metadata. |
