  • Patent number: 11556899
    Abstract: Technologies are described for replicating selected changes to planned working time from a first system, such as an HR system, to a second system, such as a payroll system. For example, upon receiving an indication of a change to a planned working time for one or more workers on one or more days, the first system can evaluate the change to determine whether it should be replicated to the second system. The determination can be based on whether the change is a temporary change, as well as based on information read from a data replication configuration object, a data replication period object, and/or an in-sync work schedule object. Upon determining that the change should be replicated to the second system, a data replication proxy object can be created based on the change and used to transmit data regarding the change for replication at the second system.

  • Publication number: 20210390514
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for implementing ad-hoc time accounts are provided herein. General time accounts can be established for users in a group of users. The general time accounts reflect an amount of leave allocated to the user over a time period, and can be created, for example, as a batch process at the beginning of a time period. A request for an additional leave acquisition can be received for a particular user. An ad-hoc time account can be generated reflecting the additional leave acquisition request. In a time management application, the ad-hoc time account and the general time account can be integrated to reflect a total amount of leave for the user.

  • Patent number: 10949808
    Abstract: Retrieving and storing time data in a time management system includes configuring the memory to store time records according to a configuration. The configuration includes: a plurality of time types, each of the time records referencing one of the time types; one or more collision groupings, each of the collision groupings being referenced by one or more of the time types; and one or more collision resolution items, each of the collision resolution items referencing an incoming grouping and an existing grouping. The method further includes receiving an incoming time record which at least partially overlaps an existing time record, the incoming time record having a first time type and the existing time record having a second time type. The method further includes performing a modification to the stored time records based on the incoming time record and the existing time record.

  • Patent number: 10838980
    Abstract: A method may include generating, for a first time period having a first length, an instance of a collector object. The collector object may be configured to collect values over time periods having the first length. The instance of the collector object may be updated based on one or more values from a first record. The first record may store values collected over a second time period having a second length. A valuation operation may be performed based at least on the first instance of the collector object. The performance of the valuation operation may require values spanning at least one time period having the first length. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10510049
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for performing a simulation. In one example, a user performing an accrual simulation identifies a plurality of parameters associated with a simulation, where the simulation calculates time account accruals and the plurality of parameters are selected by a user on a user interface (UI) of the simulation. A publish subject is generated for the simulation. The simulation is called with the plurality of parameters and the publish subject, which can include selecting a time account and passing the publish subject through a plurality of processes associated with the selected time account. The simulation, determines whether one or more subscribers subscribe to the publish subject, and in response to determining that one or more subscribers subscribe to the publish subject, generates log information for each process in the plurality of processes.

  • Patent number: 10061475
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a graphical user interface for presenting a list of objects. The graphical user interface can include a selection zone encompassed by a partial outer ring that is configured to present a portion of the list of objects. Rotational touch gestures detected in the selection zone can cause the list of objects to scroll around the partial outer ring. The scroll rate of the objects can depend on the number of touch inputs detected as part of the touch gesture.

  • Patent number: 9990240
    Abstract: Disclosed is event processing a computing center, which may include receiving events from users of the computing center to be processed. Each received event may be stored in an event queue that is associated with a customer of the user. Events in an event queue may then be processed by an event processor that is associated with that event queue.
