Abstract: Techniques for managing shared data records for multiple clients that have simultaneous access and editing privileges to the shared data records are disclosed. When a change is made to a shared data record, this change should be pushed out to all clients currently accessing the shared data record so that the individual clients are provided a current version of the shared data record. However, some rules may be applied to the updated data record prior to being pushed out to each client, which may result in additional changes. Therefore, in response to such requested rules-based changes, an updated shared data record is provided to each of the clients which have access to the shared data record. The shared data record may be updated in response to a change request from one of the clients, rules being applied to the shared data record, or some other trigger which causes the update.
