ABSTRACT:
A user interface has a main module and a plurality of panel modules. The main module presents the user interface on the display screen to a user. The plurality of panel modules are in communication with the main module. Each panel module presents a panel interface on the display screen to the user. Each panel module is individually configurable and each panel module is configurable as part of the user interface presented by the main module. In the preferred embodiment, the displayed user interface and individual panel interfaces may be varied in size in two dimensions. The user interface can be displayed with a vertical or horizontal orientation. Also, a calendar and resource gauge with unique features are included among the panel interfaces.
