Abstract: A method and system are presented of automatically suggesting rules for data stored in a table, with the table comprising a plurality of columns. The table is profiled to identify a content type for each of one or more of the plurality of columns. A rule knowledge base is accessed to locate rules specified for identified content types. Then, one or more of the located rules specified for identified content types are presented as suggestions. Acceptance of one or more of the suggested rules is received from a user, and the received validations are stored in the rule knowledge base. The accepted rules are applied to data for quality detection and monitoring. Embodiments are also described where columns are suggested based on a given rule.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method and an apparatus of creating a data model from a log file comprises receiving a log file and determining metadata based on the received log file. A proposed data model based on the determined metadata is transmitted and the data model is saved to a database.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method and an apparatus of analyzing log files comprises sampling a log and determining a structure associated with the log file based on the sampling and a pattern within the structure. If the structure and the pattern are stored in a repository, data from the log file will be exported into a database based on the determined pattern.

Abstract: A system may include presentation of a plurality of options and a graphical indicator, the graphical indicator indicating a first amount to be allotted among one or more of the plurality of options, reception of an instruction to allot a first portion of the first amount to one of the plurality of options, and change of the presented graphical indicator to indicate a new amount to be allotted among one or more of the plurality of options, the new amount equal to a difference between the first amount and the first portion.

Abstract: Approaches to identifying and evaluating risks in a contract document include a method implemented at least in part by one or more computing devices for analyzing a contract document to identify risks. The method includes analyzing text of a contract document, comparing the text of the contract document to a clause dictionary and identifying at least one clause of the contract document to a user based on its risk level. A contract document analysis system can include a user interface configured to display a contract document, a clause dictionary stored in memory and a text processing engine. The clause dictionary comprises predetermined clauses of interest to users. The analysis engine receives at least a portion of the contract document and performs test analysis to determine whether the contract document contains any clauses that resemble the predetermined clauses in the clause dictionary. For qualifying clauses, suggestions for action are displayed.

Abstract: A method implemented at least in part by a computing device for presenting a contract document for collaborative decision making comprises displaying a contract document, providing an interface adjacent the contract document for initiating a collaborative discussion activity, receiving a designation of at least one clause of the contract for collaboration and at least one recipient to be invited to participate in the collaborative discussion activity, receiving a call for a decision to be made relating to the at least one clause of the contract, sending the call for the decision to the at least one recipient in a communication, and updating a database to store at least the communication, an identity of a sender and the at least one recipient and any discussion or decision received in response to the communication.

Abstract: Multiple dropdowns on a graphical user interface (GUI) are dynamically linked at runtime. The dropdowns are associated with inter-related attributes of an object displayed on the GUI. The content of each dropdown includes a list of values of an attribute and is entirely or partially hidden until the dropdown is selected. The list of values of each dropdown are dynamically generated and rendered at runtime, using stored data that links the attributes to their parent attributes. The stored data can be dynamically updated to reflect currently-available attribute values and the relationship of the attributes.

Abstract: Some aspects include presenting, in a graphical user interface display panel, a graphic visualization of a business metric; and presenting, in the same graphical user interface display panel, a mechanism to initiate a business process action associated with the visualized business metric. Some aspects include providing multiple visualization and levels of detail of the business metric and activating the mechanism to initiate the business process action associated with the visualized business metric in association with the multiple visualization and levels of detail of the business metric.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for user input in enterprise software application. A method includes displaying a view on a display device, the view including an input field, and enabling a framework that describes properties and services for each business attribute that is bound to the input field, the framework comprising a list of metadata descriptors for the input field.
