Abstract: Systems and methods provide for managing preferences of multiple tenant organizations utilizing a shared computer platform. The systems and methods receive a current data item, identify one of the multiple tenant organizations that is associated with the current data item, and determine whether the identified tenant organization utilizes a process that can be performed by the shared computer platform on the current data item. If the identified tenant organization utilizes the process, the systems and methods cause the shared platform to perform the process on the current data item to generate processed data and enable a preference for the shared computer platform to perform the process on subsequent data items associated with the identified tenant organization. The systems and methods maintain the preference for each such subsequent data item as long as the identified tenant organization utilizes the process within a predetermined interval after a prior data item.
