Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems that provide performance analytics pertaining to a project. Embodiments include establishing one or more network communication links between a content management system that manages a plurality of shared content objects and a plurality of applications that cause modifications to the shared content objects in accordance with workflows of the project. Iteraction events that correspond to modifications over the shared content objects are recorded such that interaction events associated with the plurality of applications are selected based at least in part on attributes associated with the interaction events. Relationships between the recorded interaction events such as time durations between certain of the interaction events are calculated. Project performance measurements are generated based on the calculations and/or based on other relationships between the interaction events.

Abstract: A user interface is configured to present a stream of activities that arise from operation of two or more heterogeneous applications that access shared content objects of a content management system. A first application of a first type among the heterogeneous applications interoperates with a second application of a second type. Application activity records that correspond to interactions by the second application over the shared content objects are stored. Additional interactions that are raised by the first application and that pertain to a common content object are also stored. When a user requests access to a content object of the content management system, recent application activity records are selected. Some of the selected activity records are filtered out based on permissions attributes corresponding to the content object and/or based on permissions attributes corresponding to the requesting user. An application activity stream is generated based on the selected application activity records.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for extensible content object workflows. A content management system stores a plurality of content objects. The content management system integrates applications, which integrated applications make modifications to the content objects based on computer-aided invocation of workflows. Upon receipt of a message from a first integrated application indicating an intent to invoke a workflow at a second integrated application, the content management system relays information pertaining to the desired workflow to the second integrated application. The workflow of the second integrated application modifies one or more of the content objects or its metadata or other data associated with the workflow. Selection of the second integrated application can be based on attributes of the content objects, and/or can be based on user interactions within a user interface.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems. In a content management system that supports multiple applications that operate on shared documents, multiple modules are operatively interconnected to make and present activity-based application recommendations. Techniques for making activity-based application recommendations include recording a series of interaction events from multiple users, which events correspond to a series of interactions performed by a plurality of applications over a shared content object. Constituent interaction events from the series of interactions are analyzed to determine a set of recommended applications. The set of recommended applications is presented to a user in a dynamically-populated user interface.

Abstract: A web conferencing system is hosted in a first computing environment and is Internet-connected with a content management system hosted in a second computing environment. Upon detection of an occurrence of a file or folder drag-and-drop event at the web conferencing system, the file or folder corresponding to the drag-and-drop event is made available to the content management system. A directory hierarchy of a file system of the content management system is generated on-the-fly. The content management system initiates operations to retrieve and store a copy of the file or folder into the director hierarchy. Access permissions corresponding to locations within the directory hierarchy where the copy of the file or folder is stored are established such that users of the web conferencing system who were not users of the content management system can access the copy of the file or folder that is stored in the content management system.

Abstract: Internet communications between a content management system that stores a plurality of content objects and a third-party system is established. A hierarchy at the third-party system is determined, and a file and folder content object hierarchy at the content management system is generated based on the determined hierarchy at the third-party system. Users of the content management system and users of the third-party system are reconciled by comparing attributes of users of the third-party system with attributes of users of the content management system. Permissions pertaining to user accessed to content objects at the content management system are reconciled with permissions of the third-party system. Reconciled access permissions are applied to content objects of the generated hierarchy at the content management system. Some of the access permissions that are applied to the content object hierarchy of the content management system are more restrictive than the permissions of the third-party system.

Abstract: Systems for fine-grained management of plug-ins. A method embodiment commences upon identifying a plug-in to perform a particular computing function in a computing environment. A set of configuration parameters that correspond to the particular computing function are determined. Based at least in part on the determined configuration parameters, an instance-specific plug-in management wrapper corresponding is generated. The instance-specific plug-in management wrapper includes fine-grained management controls so as to be able to observe performance characteristics, functional characteristics and other runtime characteristics of the plug-in while it operates in the computing system. When a particular plug-in is invoked, its management wrapper is automatically generated so as to encapsulate the particular plug-in. Deployment instructions are generated to instantiate the plug-in management wrapper and its encapsulated plug-in in the computing system.
