Abstract
Configuring a set of guided documents for operation of a business activity based on a workflow for the activity, industry expertise, and a plurality of models of source data that is relevant to the business activity, wherein points of entry to access the guided documents are organized around one or more industry-specific data dimensions.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- an interactive electronic display;
- a tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media comprising a data set and a plurality of guided pages;
- the data set including data from a plurality of distinct data domains,
- each of the plurality of distinct data domains derived from a plurality of disparate data sources that are used in a workflow for a particular business activity,
- the plurality of disparate data sources consisting of internal data sources associated with operating the particular business activity and external data sources,
- the data set having a plurality of core dimensions, at least one of the plurality of core dimensions identifying a data type within the plurality of distinct data domains for continuing the workflow for the particular business activity, and having at least one time-based summary of data associated with at least one of a plurality of core dimensions,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of core dimensions is a common core dimension to at least two of the plurality of distinct data domains for the workflow for the particular business activity;
- a first guided page representing a first distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains comprising data from the at least one time-based summary presented in the first guided page as an actionable element that when selected results in direct navigation to a second guided page, wherein the direct navigation causes the second guided page comprising data from a second distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains to replace the first guided page;
- and
- wherein the second guided page comprises data of the second distinct data domain that is associated with a core dimension of the plurality of core dimensions that is common to both the first distinct data domain and the second distinct data domain for the workflow for the particular business activity.

A tangible, non-transient, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which when implemented by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- accessing data from a plurality of disparate data sources that are used in a workflow for a particular business activity, the plurality of disparate data sources consisting of internal data sources associated with operating a business, and external data sources, the accessed data comprising a plurality of distinct data domains;
- determining a plurality of core dimensions of the accessed data, at least one of the plurality of core dimension identifying a data type within the plurality of distinct data domains for continuing the workflow for the particular business activity;
- calculating one or more time-based summaries of data associated with at least one of the plurality of core dimensions, wherein at least one of the plurality of core dimensions is a common core dimension to at least two of the plurality of distinct data domains for the workflow for the particular business activity;
- and
- presenting in a guided page user interface on an interactive electronic display, a first guided page representing a first distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains comprising data from the one or more time-based summaries presented in the first guided page as an actionable element that when selected results in direct navigation to a second guided page, wherein the direct navigation causes the second guided page comprising data from a second distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains to replace the first guided page,
- wherein the second guided page comprises data of the second distinct data domain that is associated with a core dimension of the plurality of core dimensions that is common to both the first distinct data domain and the second distinct data domain for the workflow for the particular business activity.
3 more elements
A tangible, non-transient, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which when implemented by a processor with an interactive electronic display and cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- accessing data from a plurality of disparate data sources that are used in a workflow for a particular business activity, the accessed data comprising a plurality of distinct data domains, the plurality of disparate data sources consisting of internal data sources associated with operating the particular business activity and external data sources,
- wherein the internal data sources comprise at least two sources selected from a list consisting of flat files, spreadsheets, data warehouses, SQL databases, non-standard formatted data, legacy systems, transactional systems, and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, and the external data sources comprise at least two sources selected from third party feeds, market data, end-user data, state data, county data, regional data, demo data, legacy systems, ERP systems, spreadsheets, data warehouses, SQL databases, suppliers, distributors, government entities, product information, state laws and regulations, federal laws and regulations, local laws and regulations, customer information, purchase history, news, and industry guidelines;
- assigning a plurality of core dimensions for identifying data types within the plurality of distinct data domains for continuing the workflow for the particular business activity, at least one of the plurality of core dimensions being common to at least two of the plurality of distinct data domains;
- calculating at least one time-based summary of data associated with at least one of the plurality of core dimensions, wherein at least one of the plurality of core dimensions is a common core dimension to at least two of the plurality of distinct data domains for the workflow for the particular business activity;
- facilitating direct navigation among a plurality of guided pages via one or more actionable elements each presented in a corresponding guided page of the plurality, wherein:
- direct navigation from a first guided page of the plurality to a second guided page of the plurality causes the second guided page to replace the first guided page,
- the first guided page comprises data of a first distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains and the second guided page comprises data of a second distinct data domain of the plurality of distinct data domains, and
- the data of the first guided page and the data of the second guided page are associated with the common core dimension.
