Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods may include having an integrated unified filing engine. A system may include at least one processor configured to maintain at least one table containing a plurality of items and a plurality of asset designations, and to maintain at least one electronic whiteboard containing at least a subset of the plurality of asset designations. The processor may be further configured to maintain a data structure containing a plurality of links, wherein each link associates at least one of the subsets of asset designations with at least one location on the at least one electronic whiteboard, receive via a network access device, an activation of a particular link associated with a particular asset, alter a display of at least one electronic whiteboard containing an asset designation, and retrieving a presenting a corresponding asset in response to a received selection of a particular asset designation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 445 . (canceled) 446 . A workflow management system having an integrated unified filing engine, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: maintain at least one table of the workflow management system, the at least one table containing a plurality of items and a plurality of asset designations, each asset designation being associated with at least one of the plurality of items; maintain at least one electronic whiteboard containing at least a subset of the plurality of asset designations; maintain a data structure containing a plurality of links, wherein each link associates at least one of the subsets of asset designations with at least one location on the at least one electronic whiteboard; receive via a network access device having a display presenting the at least one table, an activation of a particular link associated with a particular asset; in response to the activation of the particular link, alter the display to present at least a particular location on the at least one electronic whiteboard containing a particular asset designation corresponding to the particular asset, wherein the particular location includes a cluster of additional asset designations related to the particular asset; receive a selection of at least one of the additional asset designations or the particular asset designation; in response to the selection, retrieve a corresponding asset; and cause the corresponding asset to be presented on the display. 447 . The system of claim 446 , wherein the particular asset is a digital file, including at least one of a text, video, audio, image, design, document, tabular, an image file, a video file, a drawing file, a graphic file, a presentation file, project management file, or a web page. 448 . The system of claim 446 , wherein the cluster of additional asset designations is based on at least one of an author, owner, project, item, subject matter, team, file type, deadline, status, metadata, label, budget, or data source. 449 . The system of claim 446 , wherein at least one of the additional asset designations of the cluster is associated with a differing asset from the particular asset. 450 . The system of claim 446 , wherein at least one of the additional asset designations of the cluster is activatable to access information of another table. 451 . The system of claim 446 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, wherein the alteration causes sending a notification to an entity associated with the presented corresponding asset. 452 . The system of claim 446 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, and wherein the alteration to the presented corresponding asset causes the presented corresponding asset to be associated with another cluster of the electronic whiteboard. 453 . The system of claim 446 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, and wherein the alteration to the presented corresponding asset causes a simultaneous change to the at least one table and the at least one electronic whiteboard. 454 . A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for workflow management having an integrated unified filing engine, the operations comprising: maintaining at least one table of the workflow management system, the at least one table containing a plurality of items and a plurality of asset designations, each asset designation being associated with at least one of the plurality of items; maintaining at least one electronic whiteboard containing at least a subset of the plurality of asset designations; maintaining a data structure containing a plurality of links, wherein each link associates at least one of the subsets of asset designations with at least one location on the at least one electronic whiteboard; receiving via a network access device having a display presenting the at least one table, an activation of a particular link associated with a particular asset; in response to the activation of the particular link, altering the display to present at least a particular location on the at least one whiteboard containing a particular asset designation corresponding to the particular asset, wherein the particular location includes a cluster of additional asset designations related to the particular asset; receiving a selection of at least one of the additional asset designations or the particular asset designation; in response to the selection, retrieving a corresponding asset; and causing the corresponding asset to be presented on the display. 455 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein the particular asset is a digital file, including at least one of a text, video, audio, image, design, document, tabular, an image file, a video file, a drawing file, a graphic file, a presentation file, project management file, or a web page. 456 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein the cluster of additional asset designations is based on at least one of an author, owner, project, item, subject matter, team, file type, deadline, status, metadata, label, budget, or data source. 457 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein at least one of the additional asset designations of the cluster is associated with a differing asset from the particular asset. 458 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein at least one of the additional asset designations of the cluster is activatable to access information of another table. 459 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, and wherein the alteration causes sending a notification to an entity associated with the presented corresponding asset. 460 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, and wherein the alteration to the presented corresponding asset causes the presented corresponding asset to be associated with another cluster of the electronic whiteboard. 461 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 454 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an alteration to the presented corresponding asset, and wherein the alteration to the presented corresponding asset causes a simultaneous change to the at least one table and the at least one electronic whiteboard. 462 . A method for workflow management having an integrated unified filing engine, the method comprising: maintaining at least one table of the workflow management system, the at least one table containing a plurality of items and a plurality of asset designations, each asset designation being associated with at least one of the plurality of items; maintaining at least one electronic whiteboard containing at least a subset of the plurality of asset designations; maintaining a data structure containing a plurality of links, wherein each link associates at least one of the subsets of asset designations with at least one location on the at least one electronic whiteboard; receiving via a network access device having a display presenting the at least one table, an activation of a particular lin
