  • Publication number: 20250080525
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for electronic signature systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for securing e-signatures applied to content objects. A data processing system that interacts with user devices over a network that carries e-signature events raised by the user devices is configured to implement a content management system (CMS) that maintains a single CMS e-signature object within an object storage repository. The single CMS e-signature object is representative of multiple different versions or renditions of CMS objects. Upon an e-sign event, the data processing system modifies the single CMS e-signature object.

  • Publication number: 20250053925
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for obtaining content for a workspace of a collaboration environment. According to one embodiment, requesting and obtaining one or more content items for a workspace of a collaboration environment can comprise generating a content request identifying the one or more content items and metadata for the one or more content items requested from a submitter. The content request can be provided to a computing device associated with the submitter. A determination can be made as to whether the content item can be submitted anonymously. In response to determining the content items may be submitted anonymously, the content items and the metadata can be obtained while maintaining the anonymity of the submitter.

  • Publication number: 20250053924
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for gathering electronic signatures to be applied to collaboration system content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). A collaboration system monitors changes made to the collaboration system content objects during electronic signature processing. A module of the content management system is configured to associate one or more instances of e-signing metadata to one or more of the stored content objects of the content management system. The e-signing metadata indicates whether or not a particular portion of the one or more of the stored content objects has been e-signed by a designated e-signatory. A collaborator who is not one of the designated e-signatories makes a change to one or more of the stored content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). The change is remediated on-the-fly and the e-signing process continues without having to restart the e-signing process from the beginning.

  • Publication number: 20240362467
    Abstract: A method for processing content management system workflows. Systems and subsystems are established for configuring a content management system to implement workflow processes wherein the content management system (CMS) exposes instances of stored content objects to a plurality of user devices through an electronic interface. Further systems and subsystem are established for identifying metadata maintained by the CMS for the stored content objects, and for identifying a generative AI entity (GAIE) to interact with the CMS. On an ongoing basis, the foregoing systems and subsystems carry out steps for (1) forming a GAIE prompt, wherein the GAIE prompt comprises at least a portion of the metadata identified from the CMS for the stored content objects, (2) receiving a response from the GAIE, wherein the response corresponds to the GAIE prompt; and (3) using, by the CMS, the response from the GAIE to implement processing of a content management system workflow.

  • Publication number: 20240214384
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for automated document generation within a collaboration system. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out automated document generation operations. Collaboration activity limitations are enforced over newly-generated documents. The document generation process produces newly-generated documents and other outputs that are stored in the collaboration system. Operational elements of the collaboration system are able to access the generated document and other document generation system outputs to perform content analysis. Based at least in part on results of the content analysis, characteristics of the generated document and characteristics of the corresponding document system I/O, the collaboration system assigns and/or modifies access parameters of the newly-generated document and its metadata. The access parameters control ongoing enforcement of document handling policies.

  • Patent number: 11836196
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for obtaining content for a workspace of a collaboration environment. According to one embodiment, a method for requesting and obtaining a content item for a workspace of a collaboration environment can comprise generating, by a cloud-based collaboration environment system, a content request identifying the content item and metadata for the content item. The requested metadata for the content item can be defined by a requestor of the content item and the content item and the metadata for the content item can be requested from a submitter. The generated content request can be provided by the cloud-based collaboration environment system to a computing device associated with the submitter. In response to the provided request, the content item and the requested metadata for the content item can be obtained by the cloud-based collaboration environment system from the computing device associated with the submitter.

  • Publication number: 20230306133
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for establishing a user device trust level. A content management system facilitates interactions between a plurality of user devices and a plurality of shared content objects. The plurality of user devices are network connected to the content management system. One of the user devices issues a request to access a particular one of the content objects. Responsive to the request, a two-step device check is performed before granting access to the particular one of the content objects. A first step of the two-step device check process is based on environmental information, and a second step of the two-step device check process is based at least in part on analysis of the content of the particular one of the content objects. The actual bits of the content object itself are inspected.

  • Publication number: 20230025808
    Abstract: Policy-informed e-signature processing. An electronic signature system (ESS) is interfaced to a content management system (CMS) that stores instances of shared files and coordinates policy-informed interactions with the shared files. Upon detection of an occurrence of an e-signature request event, electronic signature processing is carried out in a manner that observes one or more governance policies that control handling of shared files. When responding to an e-signature request event, the CMS observes the governance policies by issuing an electronic query to a database of parameters, wherein the parameters define metes and bounds of the governance policies. Upon determination that at least some of the governance policies at least potentially apply to the e-signature processing, the ESS and/or the CMS modifies metadata pertaining to one or more workflow objects that are associated with a computer-implemented workflow. The workflow may terminate or be terminated based upon the one or more governance policies.
