Abstract
Managing large amounts of third party client data may require sorting through files for patterns and extracting data to create a customized user interface for the third party client. One example method of operation may include examining file names for data files stored in a database, parsing specified names and specified dates from the file names, categorizing the data files according to the specified names and specified dates, tagging the data files, and transforming content of the data files into a customized data table format associated with known client requirements.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- examining file names for a plurality of data files stored in a database;
- parsing specified names and specified dates from the file names;
- identifying a defined pattern associated with a particular client and a particular type of data;
- identifying a data pattern of each data file of the plurality of data files;
- identifying data files, of the plurality of data files, associated with the particular client based on the parsed specified names and the parsed specified dates conforming to the defined pattern associated with the particular client and the particular type of data;
- categorizing the plurality of data files according to the specified names and specified dates;
- tagging the data files;
- and
- transforming content of the data files into a customized data table format associated with requirements of the particular client.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- examine file names for a plurality of data files stored in a database;
- parse specified names and specified dates from the file names;
- identify a defined pattern associated with a particular client and a particular type of data;
- identify a data pattern of each data file of the plurality of data files;
- identify data files, of the plurality of data files, associated with the particular client based on the parsed specified names and the parsed specified dates conforming to the defined pattern associated with the particular client and the particular type of data;
- categorize the data files according to the specified names and specified dates;
- tag the data files;
- and
- transform content of the data files into a customized data table format associated with requirements of the particular client.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store at least one instruction that when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform:
- examining file names for a plurality of data files stored in a database;
- parsing specified names and specified dates from the file names;
- identifying a defined pattern associated with a particular client and a particular type of data;
- identifying a data pattern of each data file of the plurality of data files;
- identifying data files, of the plurality of data files, associated with the particular client based on the parsed specified names and the parsed specified dates conforming to the defined pattern associated with the particular client and the particular type of data;
- categorizing the plurality of data files according to the specified names and specified dates;
- tagging the data files;
- and
- transforming content of the data files into a customized data table format associated with requirements of the particular client.
