  • Patent number: 10332044
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically implementing performance goals in a human resources environment. Specifically, the method provides a first interface for defining performance goals. Thereafter, a definition of a performance goal is received via the first interface. The method also provides a second interface for identifying an assigned group comprising users to be prescribed the performance goal. Thereafter, criteria is received via the second interface that identifies the assigned group. The method searches a database to identify users in the assigned group based on the criteria in order to apply the prescriptive rule. Then, the performance goal is prescribed to users in the assigned group.

  • Publication number: 20170235799
    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching databases using graphical user interfaces that include concept stacks are disclosed. A method includes providing for display graphical user interface comprising a query building canvas. The graphical user interface includes concept stacks that include stacked concept nodes associated with query terms that are joined with Boolean ORs. The concept stacks are connected by a conjunctive proximity connector that joins the query expressions associated with each concept stack. The graphical user interface includes a connector node that includes a graphical indication of the conjunctive proximity connector. The method further includes generating a search query to include query expressions associated with the concept stacks that are connected by the conjunctive proximity connector.

  • Publication number: 20120166425
    Abstract: Systems and methods create a graphical representation of a research map that allows performance of search functions using the nodes of the graphical representation. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive a query for searching a document repository and run the query in the document repository. The processor stores the results of the query and the query as a root node in a research tree. The processor receives a filter for the results of the query. The processor stores the filter and the result list for the filter as a filter node connected to the root node of in the research tree. The processor receives a request to view a document from the result list for the filter and stores the request as a document node connected to the filter node. The processor then creates a display of a research map that includes the research tree.
