Abstract

An improved technique for facilitating user co-action with a portable electronic device having one or more embedded applications. The application presents information to the user on a display of the electronic device, and the user selects the particular item or data that they want to work with, such as by a double-tap and hold of a stylus over such item or data. In response to such tap and hold selection, a menu appears that prompts the user to select what the next action or step the user desires to invoke. User selection of the next action/step causes creation of a new data record, with information from the current application being automatically included or appended to the next action/step's application record, along with a date stamp. This enables creation of an audit trail or log of the user's actions with the electronic device's applications.
