  • Publication number: 20210398084
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer media for processing time activities are provided herein. Time activities, each having a type and a timestamp, can be received. Based on the types and timestamps, a time activity pair can be formed, and a time interval can be generated corresponding to the time activity pair. Time intervals can have a classification. Activity for a time period can thus be determined through pair formation and time interval generation using the time activities received during the time period. A time tracking application account can be updated to include the generated time intervals.

  • Patent number: 10838980
    Abstract: A method may include generating, for a first time period having a first length, an instance of a collector object. The collector object may be configured to collect values over time periods having the first length. The instance of the collector object may be updated based on one or more values from a first record. The first record may store values collected over a second time period having a second length. A valuation operation may be performed based at least on the first instance of the collector object. The performance of the valuation operation may require values spanning at least one time period having the first length. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10664807
    Abstract: Provided are devices and methods for retroactively changing time sheets. In one example, the method includes detecting a change to an attribute associated with a time sheet stored in a database, splitting the time sheet into a first portion of time before the attribute changed and a second portion of time after the attribute changed, retroactively applying the change of the attribute to the second portion of time and preserving the attribute for the first portion of time to generate modified time sheet data, and updating the time sheet stored in the database based on the modified time sheet data to implement the retroactively applied change. Accordingly, the system described herein may automatically identify and process retroactive changes to a time sheet that has already been submitted and stored in a database.

  • Publication number: 20050014121
    Abstract: An electronic learning system (ELS) provides access to an electronic course that is hosted by an external system that is not part of the ELS. The ELS includes a front end that exchanges communications with the external system to obtain access to the electronic course, a learning portal that runs software to view the electronic course, and a back end that stores information that relates to the electronic course.
