ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for managing visual representations of relationships between active graphical areas such as text fields in a GUI and underlying software objects is presented. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of receiving, by computer logic, a selection of an object graphical depiction of a data source software object, wherein the data source software object supports a field that is represented by a field graphical depiction in a Graphical User Interface (GUI); and in response to receiving the selection of the object graphical depiction, altering a physical appearance of the field graphical depiction, wherein altering the physical appearance of the field graphical depiction illustrates, in the GUI, a logical relationship between the data source software object and the field.
