Abstract: Systems and methods to identify to iteratively accomplish a complex task by mapping the complex task into a series of smaller tasks and then to reduce the task by executing one or more of the smaller tasks. Such a system ensures that a user does not have to be familiar with the operational environment of the platform (governance rules, architecture, and the like) when scripting tasks. Instead, the user can concentrate on the logic or purpose of the task, and various embodiments of the system will “intelligently” process/execute the task in the most efficient way, without violating the governance constraints imposed on users or accounts as part of the multi-tenant environment. Among other benefits, this approach permits users to more efficiently describe desired tasks and hence to more effectively utilize the platform.
