I am tired of having to change my interface for end users. Ain't that the truth!

I am comprising my new system to be meta data driven, on a UI sensce for 60% of the GUI.

In general the fact is that an ever changing contract defines what is needed for input. Automotive sales industry. A client of mine will use 3->25 different funding sources. Each source has it's own contract that the BUYER signs.

Differences on them could be Insurances available, warranties available, itemization of fees,.....

I now have a table of ContractInputs :
ContractInputID, Label, InputType, Section, DIndent, IIndent -description & Input indents-
101, "Downpayment Amount", 'Currency', 'Gross Sales', 20, 100

I have another table of ContractLayouts :
ContractLayoutID, ContractId, ContractInputId, RowNumber
120, 15, 101, 2


Has anybody done a GUI on the fly with this idea before in CM?
