Abstract
Provided is a system and method for an interactive one-click smart identifier that can be used to replace a traditional drop-down menu, combo box, or the like. Each click can change the identifier without a need to interact with a menu. In one example, the method may include storing a sequential order for a plurality of identifiers, displaying a currently selected identifier from among the plurality of identifiers at a predetermined position on a user interface and hiding remaining identifiers from among the plurality of identifiers from being displayed on the user interface, detecting a click on a predefined graphical element of the user interface, and in response to detection of the click, deleting the currently selected identifier from the user interface and replacing it with a hidden identifier from among the remaining identifiers not displayed on the user interface based on the sequential order.
