  • Patent number: 10839022
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a network-based workflow system, employed for receiving workflows, defining one or more data-object types based on the workflows, generating data-objects, assigning a workflow from among the one or more workflows to the data-object, and managing the data-object through various states of based on the workflow. As discussed, a “workflow” refers to orchestrated and repeatable patterns enabled by a systematic organization of resources into processes that transform and modify presentations of data-objects based on corresponding data-object states. A workflow may therefore comprise a set of states, wherein each state is linked to another state by one or more transitions, and wherein the transitions are associated with a set of events which may occur at each state.

  • Patent number: 10491658
    Abstract: A collaborative content management system allows users to access collaborative content items. When a client device accesses a shared collaborative content item, the client device displays a portion of the collaborative content item that falls within a viewport. The client application generates a notification count of notification events associated with content that is contained in the collaborative content item and positioned below the viewport, and the client device displays the notification count in a graphical element adjacent to a bottom viewport edge. A similar process generates a second notification count of the notification events associated with content positioned above the viewport and displays a graphical element with the second notification count adjacent to the top viewport edge. The user can iteratively select one of the graphical elements to move the content of the collaborative content item to a portion corresponding to the next notification event above or below the viewport.

  • Patent number: 10467334
    Abstract: An electronic document review system is disclosed herein. A server computing device extracts sections from an electronic document. The server computing device then receives an identity of a stakeholder and an identity of a section from the sections. The stakeholder is authorized to review and approve the section. Responsive to receiving the identity of the stakeholder and the identity of the section, the server computing device transmits the section to a stakeholder computing device operated by the stakeholder. The stakeholder makes a revision to the section by way of the stakeholder computing device, and the stakeholder computing device then transmits the revision to the server computing device. The server computing device then causes an indication of the revision in redline format to be displayed in a graphical user interface of a client application executing on a client computing device operated by a contract manager.
