Abstract
Abstract Input to the system is buffered by the forms manager (11) to determine access to the tile/cell (53-62) and to check entered data. The tile/cell (53-62) will retain various information such as data entered, user, time, changes, etc. To display a form, the forms manager (11) obtains a list of objects (81, 82) to be displayed. This list of objects is then edited (89) to remove objects which are not utilized and to place the remaining objects in a prioritized order (90-92). The forms manager then generates the display (85-88).
