Abstract

Methods and systems for dynamically surfacing user interface controls in a workflow. In particular, one or more embodiments determine which steps of a workflow to display with the workflow. One or more embodiments assign weights or scores to each step of the workflow based on whether the step is a required step or an optional step. One or more embodiments use the assigned weights to determine which steps to display with the workflow in a graphical user interface based on whether the assigned weights meet a predetermined threshold. Additionally, one or more embodiments track user interactions with commands in the client application and increase weights of steps associated with the commands to dynamically display steps when the increased weights of the steps meet the predetermined threshold.
