  • Publication number: 20240020162
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for content management systems. In a computing environment having multiple interconnected computer systems, one or more network communication links between a first computer system that hosts a first application and a second computer system that hosts one or more second applications are established. The first computer system hosts a plurality of shared content objects that can be operated over by any second applications that are interfaced with the first application. Particular interaction events over a shared content object take place at the second applications and/or at the interfaces between the first and second applications. Such particular interaction events are recorded as they occur, after which, based on event attributes associated with the particular interaction events, at least one workflow of the first application is selected. The selected workflow of the first application is executed to perform operations over the shared content object.

  • Patent number: 11616782
    Abstract: As a default, a global permissions model is established. The global permissions model serves for applying a first set of resource access permissions to shared content objects. Additionally, a set of context-aware access policies that govern user interactions over the shared content object is established. When a particular user requests an interaction over a shared content object, then interaction attributes associated with the request are gathered. The context-aware access policies are applied to the request by determining a set of extensible access permissions that are derived from the interaction attributes. The context-aware access policies are enforced by overriding the first set of resource access permissions with dynamically-determined access permissions. When a particular access request is denied, a response is generated in accordance with the set of extensible access permissions and the user is notified. In some cases, the access request is permitted, but only after the user provides a justification.

  • Publication number: 20210103863
    Abstract: A shared workflow operates over a plurality of execution environments associated with a content management system. A shared workflow is created in a first execution environment. The workflow is posted to a shared location. A particular workflow is selected from an exchange or other shared location and is thereafter configured to execute in a second execution environment. A computing module analyzes the workflow to identify environment-specific parameters. Based on a computer-generated recommendation emerging from the analysis, a user or a computing agent modifies the environment-specific parameter so as to configure the workflow prior to execution in the second execution environment. The first execution environment may correspond to a first department of an enterprise and the second execution environment may correspond to a second department of the same enterprise.

  • Patent number: 10915226
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to provide access to shared content are disclosed. In various embodiments, a user input indicating a set of selected sharing users that have shared content with a viewing user is received via a filter definition user interface. A combined set of shared content comprising content that has been shared with the viewing user by one or more sharing users included in said set of selected sharing users is determined based at least in part on the indication. A display is provided that includes for at least a subset of shared content in the combined set a user-selectable visual representation of the shared content.

  • Publication number: 20200065313
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing content objects in a content management system. A metadata template is assigned to a content object of the content management system. Extensible metadata pertaining to the content object is allocated in accordance with the assigned metadata template. Various operations over the content object result in population of the allocated extensible metadata. When the content object is subjected to a workflow, the execution flow and/or the form of responses associated with execution of the workflow are informed by the populated extensible metadata. A single content object can take on an association with multiple sets of extensible metadata and each set of extensible metadata can take on association with a respective workflow.
