Simplifying interaction with multiple applications when using forms via a common interface. In one embodiment, a mapping data indicating the forms used for corresponding combinations of an action and a class of data is maintained. On receiving an action identifier and a class identifier from a user using a common interface, the specific form is determined from the mapping data based on the action and class identifiers. The specific form is then displayed to the user on a display. As a result, a user can quickly/directly access a desired form.
