After an action is taken on a work item, the system re-evaluates the work item, which may result in the work item being added/removed from one or more work categories; and added/removed from one or more dynamic customized knowledge worker views.

  • Patent number: 10999720
    Abstract: Various examples are described for defining automations for client devices enrolled with a management service. A computing environment can cause one or more user interfaces to be shown in a display of an administrator device that include at least one field for receiving a conditional statement to generate an automation associated with client devices enrolled with the management service. The computing environment can validate the conditional statement based on validation criteria and, in an instance in which the conditional statement has been validated, generate the automation based on the conditional statement, the automation causing the computing environment to perform a predetermined action automatically when the conditional statement is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10963433
    Abstract: A method, a system and a computer program product for automated ASCII-based object-oriented database schema (OODBS) generation. A parser runs through text sentences of a textual document from a requirements gathering team that includes object-oriented application requirements, and identifies nouns corresponding to an object, and each noun's attributes. An Object-oriented dictionary based ASCII interpreter analyzes the ASCII of the captured requirements. For each identified noun, the system creates first key-value structures mapping each identified object to one or more associated attributes. There is further identified, from the created first key-value structures, any attributes that reference to an identified object, and for each of these identified objects, the system creates second key-value structures mapping, for each attribute identified as a reference, associating a corresponding key where the reference is found as an attribute.

  • Patent number: 10956514
    Abstract: Methods for directed analysis of content for storage and recall are performed by systems and apparatuses. The methods optimize search operations for content using a user-driven knowledge bank. A user selects content that is relevant or important to the user for addition to the knowledge bank, and content information about the content is determined based on user importance and context, and is also stored in the knowledge bank. Subsequent searches for the content by the user are optimized based on the content information improving accuracy of search results for the content based on more general queries and searches by the user, including natural language queries and searches. Searches and queries are performed via search engines, as well as digital assistants and search applications of user systems. The content can be added by a user from different applications, and recall of the content from different applications is performed using an API.
