Abstract

Systems and methods for in-place user interface (UI) and dataflow modeling, including a number of UI elements of a graphical user interface (GUI) grouped in several GUI fragments. A first fragment of the several GUI fragments is switched from UI design mode to dataflow design mode, where the UI elements are replaced by data elements. The data elements in the first fragment may be related to define one part of a dataflow. A second fragment of the several GUI fragments is separately switched from UI design mode to dataflow design mode, where the UI elements are replaced by data elements. The data elements of the second fragment may be related to define another part of the dataflow. A relationship is created between the data elements of the first fragment and the data element of the second fragment based on the dataflow.
