Abstract
Described herein is a computer implemented method for maintaining a configurable project hierarchy. The method comprises creating a new hierarchy level data record and storing the new hierarchy level data record in a data store. The method further comprises receiving a request to associate a particular issue type with the new hierarchy level and, in response, creating a new hierarchy/issue type association data record including an identifier of the particular issue type and an identifier of the new hierarchy level identifier.
Claims19
A computer implemented method for maintaining a configurable project hierarchy, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a user device, a first request to add a new hierarchy level to the configurable project hierarchy;
- in response to receiving the first request to add the new hierarchy level to the configurable project hierarchy:
- creating a new hierarchy level data record corresponding to the new hierarchy level, the new hierarchy level data record including a new hierarchy level identifier;
- and
- adding the new hierarchy level to the configurable project hierarchy by:
- storing the new hierarchy level data record in a data store;
- determining that the new hierarchy level is to be added above a below hierarchy level;
- accessing a below hierarchy level data record from the data store, the below hierarchy level data record comprising below hierarchy data corresponding to the below hierarchy level;
- determining, from the below hierarchy level data record, whether the below hierarchy level has an existing parent hierarchy level;
- and
- in response to determining that the below hierarchy level does not have the existing parent hierarchy level, editing the below hierarchy level data record to record the new hierarchy level as a parent hierarchy level of the below hierarchy level;
- receiving, from the user device, a second request to associate a particular issue type with the new hierarchy level;
- and
- in response to receiving the second request to associate the particular issue type with the new hierarchy level:
- creating a new hierarchy and issue type association data record including a particular issue type identifier and the new hierarchy level identifier;
- and
- associating the particular issue type with the new hierarchy level by storing the new hierarchy and issue type association data record in the data store.

A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a communication interface;
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, via the communication interface from a user device, a first request to add a new hierarchy level to a configurable project hierarchy;
- in response to receiving the first request to add the new hierarchy level to the configurable project hierarchy:
- create a new hierarchy level data record corresponding to the new hierarchy level, the new hierarchy level data record including a new hierarchy level identifier;
- and
- add the new hierarchy level to the configurable project hierarchy by:
- storing the new hierarchy level data record in a data store;
- determining that the new hierarchy level is to be added above a below hierarchy level;
- accessing a below hierarchy level data record from the data store, the below hierarchy level data record comprising below hierarchy data corresponding to the below hierarchy level;
- determining, from the below hierarchy level data record, whether the below hierarchy level has an existing parent hierarchy level;
- and
- in response to determining that the below hierarchy level does not have the existing parent hierarchy level, editing the below hierarchy level data record to record the new hierarchy level as a parent hierarchy level of the below hierarchy level;
- receive, from the user device, a second request to associate a particular issue type with the new hierarchy level;
- and
- in response to receiving the second request to associate the particular issue type with the new hierarchy level:
- create a new hierarchy and issue type association data record including a particular issue type identifier and the new hierarchy level identifier;
- and
- associate the particular issue type with the new hierarchy level by storing the new hierarchy and issue type association data record in the data store.
