ABSTRACT:
A user interface utilizes a variable or changeable displayed field label and an associated data entry field for displaying and entering stored database properties. A pop-up list box is associated with the displayed field label, to be selectively displayed in response to a user's selection. When displayed, the pop-up list box contains a list of available field labels that can be alternatively selected by the user as the displayed field label. Each of the field labels corresponds to a different stored property. The data entry field corresponding to the displayed field label can be selected and used to enter a value for the stored property corresponding to the displayed field label. The pop-up list box contains an indication of any existing values for the stored properties corresponding to the available field labels. This indication clarifies to the user that the available field labels correspond respectively to different stored properties, rather than being alternative labels corresponding to a single stored property.
