  • Patent number: 8676831
    Abstract: A master pattern is identified in a target database for use as a template for data entry. The target database is qualified based on one or more database prerequisites. A plurality of similarity patterns is generated based on comparisons of records in the target database. These similarity patterns may be qualified and consolidated based on one or more pre-configured pattern significance guidelines to produce broad and unique patterns that may be used as master patterns. The master patterns may be recommended to the user during data entry in the target database.

  • Publication number: 20140040198
    Abstract: A data entry template can be associated with each of a plurality of data records that are distributed across a plurality of heterogeneous or homogeneous data sources which can optionally be data bases. The data entry template can be modified to reflect a change to a business process that was previously represented by the template. The change to the business process can be propagated to at least part of the plurality of data records associated with the template. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
