13. A computer readable memory storing instructions for generating data associated with an electronic form that interacts with a business object, the instructions to cause a computing device to: retrieve a first data field from a first data source, the first data source having a first protocol; retrieve a second data field from a second data source, the second data source having a second protocol, the second protocol being different than the first protocol; provide a graphical user interface where the first data field and the second data field are to be combined in the electronic form; allow a third data field to be added to the form through the graphical user interface wherein adding the third data field automatically changes a definition of the business object; and generate data indicative of the third field for a third data source, the third data source having a third protocol, the third protocol being different than the first protocol, the third protocol being different than the second protocol, wherein the first, second, and third data fields are part of a single business object.
17. The computer readable memory of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are structured to cause the computing device to generate a workflow process to use the electronic form by: placing a first object and a second object on a first computer based design canvas to create a process map, the first object being indicative of a first process step, the second object being indicative of a second process step; connecting the first object to the second object with an arrow, the arrow being indicative of a progression from the first process step to the second process step; and creating a third object and a fourth object, the third object and the fourth object each being indicative of the first process step, the first object representing a parent object, the third object representing a first child object to the parent object, the fourth object representing a second different child object to the parent object, wherein the parent object includes a plurality of global properties and the first child object inherits a subset of the global properties.
