Abstract
Simplifying understanding of procedure dependencies in a form definition used in user interfaces. In an embodiment, a form definition including a set of procedures (identified by a corresponding identifier) are examined to determine pairs of procedures such that a caller procedure of a pair invokes/refers a called procedure in the pair. For each of pair of procedures determined, a link associated with an identifier identifying the called procedure is included in the caller procedure. The link is designed to display the called procedure in response to a user action associated with the identifier in a display of the caller procedure.
