ABSTRACT:
A computer system connectable to a display device to display a graphical user interface through which a user can select an action in order to invoke a desired operation, and a method of operation of such a system. The action is selectable by one or more views of that action provided via the graphical user interface, and the system is characterized by means for providing a container object which is displayable via the graphical user interface on the display device, the container object being arranged to respond to user selection by creating a user page for display to the user. Further, the system is characterized by identifying means for identifying when a user selection of the container object has occurred, and for informing the container object of that selection, thereby causing a user page to be created, and view association means for enabling a user to associate views of actions with the user page created upon selection of the container object. Preferably, means are provided for enabling the user to associate a user page created from the container object with a collective view of actions. By such a technique, the user is provided with an easy to use mechanism for grouping actions together as desired, for example so that his/her most commonly used actions are provided in one place.
