Abstract

In one general aspect, a method can include generating a user interface for an enterprise application executing on a computing device using a flexible screen layout. The generating can include displaying, on a display device included in the computing device, a first user interface for the enterprise application including a first column that occupies an available screen area of the display device and that presents first content, receiving, in the first user interface, a selection for forward navigation, and displaying, on the display device, a second user interface for the enterprise application. The second user interface can include a second column presenting the first content and a third column presenting the second content that can occupy the available screen area of the display device. The flexible screen layout can adjust a size of the second column and the third column based on the available screen area of the display device.
