Abstract: Computer architecture including an add-in for linking document creation application with a cloud-based structured database management system and for and integrating a social network media feeds. Integrating social network media feeds and calibration tools into a word processing application linked with a contract creation and contract lifecycle management application. Integrating social network media feeds and calibration tools of a social network that runs on the same platform as the structured database management system and that shares log-in credentials with the structured database management system.

Abstract: A method for dynamically transferring data from a spreadsheet to a database in disclosed. The method comprises scanning a spreadsheet to identify potential record cells; selectively converting each potential record cell into an actual record cell for a remote application; and identifying record attributes associated with each actual record cell.

Abstract: A method for creating a spreadsheet template to facilitate creation of a spreadsheet is disclosed. The method comprises marking a cell in the range of cells as being a potential record cell; and creating a save map to define attributes to be assembled into a record for an actual record cell.

Abstract: A method for creating a spreadsheet template to facilitate creation of a spreadsheet is disclosed. The method comprises determining at least one dimension for the spreadsheet; creating logic to dynamically determine a dimension range for each dimension when the spreadsheet template is run, and saving said logic in a memory device; and creating logic to map each cell within each dimension range to a remote application object.

Abstract: Document-based user interfaces controlled and managed by a system. A business management application that runs on a platform of the system determines data entry, by a user, in a document creation application. The business management application further interacts with the data using a web services application interface, and invokes a rule that enables behavior of the document creation application being controlled by the system. Further, the business management application assigns regulatory controls to the document creation application until completion of an approval process and subsequently relinquishes the rule on completion of the approval process.

Abstract: Linking structured database management systems with document creation tools. Allowing the user of a document creation application to access cloud-based or behind firewall contract creation and management utilities without ever leaving the document interface itself. Inserting object templates stored in a cloud-based contract creation and management application from a native document creation application and flagging the document itself to indicate the presence of intelligent fields of structured data.

Abstract: A method for generating a spreadsheet is disclosed. The method comprises locking a grid area comprising selected cells of the spreadsheet to prevent data entry into said cells by a user; performing an authentication operation to authenticate the user with a remote application; if the authentication operation authenticates the user then retrieving row and column header information from the remote application in response to said communication displaying said row and column header information from the remote application; and selectively unlocking cells of the grid area with row and column header information.

Abstract: Managing a plurality of document versions saved in a cloud-based structured database management system. Allowing the user of a document creation application to add intelligence to objects within a document, thereby allowing the user to reconcile changes made to the document during a negotiation lifecycle.
