Abstract

Aspects include creating a profile for a user from user account data and a user activity log, searching an indexed repository for keywords matching elements from the user account data and the user activity log, and retrieving documents from the indexed repository that are identified based on the searching. Aspects further include creating a custom portal for the user that includes the documents.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a memory having computer readable instructions; and
a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions including:
creating a profile for a user from user account data and a user activity log;
searching an indexed repository for keywords matching elements from the user account data and the user activity log;
retrieving documents from the indexed repository that are identified based on the searching;
creating a custom portal for the user that includes the documents;
in response to determining the user has not opened a document in the custom portal within a threshold period of time, automatically removing the document from the custom portal for the user;
monitoring activity conducted by the user at the custom portal;
in response to determining that the user has opened documents in the custom portal that share a common set of tags, prioritizing the listing of each of the documents in the custom portal based on the common set of tags; and
comparing a listing of documents in the custom portal of the user to determine whether the custom portal of the user contains a minimum number of documents that are in common with another portal.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include:
receiving a plurality of documents from user devices communicatively coupled to the indexed repository;
adding tags to keywords in the plurality of documents; and
storing the plurality of documents and corresponding tags in the indexed repository;
wherein searching the indexed repository for the keywords is performed by searching an index of the tags in the repository.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include:
monitoring changes in the user account data and ongoing activities from the user activity log; and
updating the custom portal for the user based on updated keyword searching responsive to the changes to the user account data and the ongoing activities.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein one of the changes in the user account data includes a change in role of the user with respect to an organization.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further include:
upon determining that the custom portal of the user contains a minimum number of documents that are in common with another custom portal, generating a communication to the user through the custom portal of the user, identifying a user of the other custom portal as having common interests with the user.

6. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the computer processor to perform:
creating a profile for a user from user account data and a user activity log;
searching an indexed repository for keywords matching elements from the user account data and the user activity log;
retrieving documents from the indexed repository that are identified based on the searching;
creating a custom portal for the user that includes the documents;
in response to determining the user has not opened a document in the custom portal within a threshold period of time, automatically removing the document from the custom portal for the user;
monitoring activity conducted by the user at the custom portal;
in response to determining that the user has opened documents in the custom portal that share a common set of tags, prioritizing the listing of each of the documents in the custom portal based on the common set of tags; and
comparing a listing of documents in the custom portal of the user to determine whether the custom portal of the user contains a minimum number of documents that are in common with another portal.

7. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the program instructions executable by the processor further cause the computer processor to perform:
receiving a plurality of documents from user devices communicatively coupled to the indexed repository;
adding tags to keywords in the plurality of documents; and
storing the plurality of documents and corresponding tags in the indexed repository;
wherein searching the indexed repository for the keywords is performed by searching an index of the tags in the repository.

8. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the program instructions executable by the processor further cause the computer processor to perform:
monitoring changes in the user account data and ongoing activities from the user activity log; and
updating the custom portal for the user based on updated keyword searching responsive to the changes to the user account data and the ongoing activities.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein one of the changes in the user account data includes a change in role of the user with respect to an organization.

10. The computer program product of claim 6 , wherein the program instructions executable by the processor further cause the computer processor to perform:
upon determining that the custom portal of the user contains a minimum number of documents that are in common with another custom portal, generating a communication to the user through the custom portal of the user, identifying a user of the other custom portal as having common interests with the user.
