Abstract: A significant challenge in modern computing is to provide a user interface that as starting point takes the end user's goals. A task-oriented user interface addresses this issue and presents and guides the end-user through useful and relevant tasks that map directly to the tasks the end-uer needs to carry out. The present invention discloses a method and a system for automatic generation of a task sequence by use of a computer system. A generic task sequence is configured for a variety of business objects at design time. At runtime the task sequence is initiated by a task presented in the user interface (UI) to a user of the application. An input in response hereto makes the computer system start querying whether the elements of the relevant Business Object are in a state where they can complete the task. If not so, identify by use of the computer system what needs to be completed in order to bring element in a state where it can participate. The result of the query is obtained by functionality available on the element.
