  • Grouped filter rules for workflow application update notifications
    Patent number: 7487183
    Abstract: To reduce the amount of additional coding required each time end users request new email notifications, based on a combination of specific field values, a new process for end-user email notifications is used to provide the user or database owner/administrator the ability to create these specific rules more easily. Each time an update is done in the master work flow document, the new process cycles through the filter rules and will provide the relevant email to the end-user. Other embodiments or examples are also discussed.
