  • Publication number: 20090300527
    Abstract: A user interface displays a group of related documents such that bulk operations may be performed on them without requiring the user to individually access each document to perform an action. Properties, such as a status, contributor information, submission date and submission deadline and the like are also displayed with the documents. From this information, a user may decide to open a specific document and/or version of the document for review while bulk approving the other displayed documents. A user may perform an action on all or part of the displayed documents and their versions from the user interface. In this way, the efficiency of the workflow may be increased since the user doesn't have to individually access each document to perform the action.
