Abstract: Techniques for providing user-based context to a virtual workspace, including: generating a virtual workspace viewable by a user on a graphical user interface, the virtual workspace comprising a plurality of workspace modules comprising data contained in one or more data objects; identifying an interaction by the user with at least some of the data contained in the one or more data objects; and based on the identified interaction, identifying additional data contained in the one or more data objects that is semantically related to the data interacted with by the user.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for generating content-driven layouts. One method includes: receiving a first user input specifying a template rule for a template being generated, receiving a second user input specifying a template part rule for a part of the template, wherein the template part rule takes precedence over the template rule, and receiving a third user input specifying a container rule for a container located in the part of the template, wherein the container rule takes precedence over the template part rule and the template rule. Based on content provided for the template, at least one of the template rule, template part rule and the container rule is applied based on the precedence, and the template is presented.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method performed with a computing system includes generating a virtual workspace viewable by a user on a graphical user interface. The virtual workspace comprises a first plurality of workspace modules. A request to present a previous version of the virtual workspace from a previous time period is received. In response to at least the request, the virtual workspace is updated to the previous version. The previous version includes a second plurality of workplace modules different from the first plurality of workspace modules.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for a manager toolkit. The manager toolkit may be a gadget, widget, tool, or any other application that may provide a user with access to payroll or human capital data. The manager toolkit may provide a user with access to a full-sized payroll application or human capital management application. In some embodiments, the manager toolkit may share information with the payroll application or human capital management application. The manager toolkit may include utilities such as a company roster, a resource map, and a timescape.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods of time period comparison. A user interface, which may be a part of a payroll or human capital management application or software, may be provided which may display payroll items, along with values for the payroll items during a first time period and second time period, as well as the differences in the values for the payroll items between the first and second time periods. A user may select one or more time periods or bases of comparison to be compared and a user interface may display values relating to the time periods accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying data modification may include a user interface displaying a timeline with one or more items, which may include their own item timeline, corresponding to the same time period. A change made in item values may be reflected in the timeline. The invention may be applied to payroll or human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying payroll or human capital management information and how it is modified.

A change made in item values may be reflected in the timeline. The invention may be applied to payroll or human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying payroll or human capital management information and how it is modified. Similarly, the timeline may also function as an information center that may display events and documents.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying rolling sequences, such as time periods or data status may include a user interface displaying multiple panes providing access to data relating to a given time category. If a time category were to pass, the access to data relating to a given time category may move to the position and format held by the prior time category. The invention may be applied to payroll processing or other human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying payroll information of employees for multiple time categories at once, and may enable payroll information to transition as time categories pass. The invention may also provide measures to draw attention to relevant tasks at relevant times to decrease user-entry mistakes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying data modification may include a user interface displaying a current data region and a new data region displayed side by side where the new data region may display one or more data interaction interface or data values corresponding to the current data and positioned to mirror the current data position in the current data region. The invention may be applied to payroll processing or human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying human capital management information, such as payroll information, and how it is modified.

Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing data related to managing a business for multiple businesses may include a user interface with a businesses pane and an information pane. The businesses pane can provide a list of one or more business entities and allow a user to display data related to a selected business from the list of one or more business entities. An information pane can display data related to the selected business using one or more mini-tabs. The mini-tabs can allow for one or more sets of data to be displayed, including payroll or human capital management data. The information pane can display an interface to perform actionable tasks related to the selected business.
