US 11,900,324 B2 · Managing projects in a content management system

Abstract

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing projects in a content management system. For example, the content management system can create a project folder (e.g., shared folder) for managing data associated with a project. The project folder can be shared with content management system users (e.g., project members) who are contributors to the project. The content management system can store project data (e.g., content items, communications, comments, tasks, etc.) related to the project in the project folder. When the project folder is selected by a user, the content management system can generate a project folder view that presents the project data associated with the project folder and/or project in a convenient and easy to access graphical user interface. The content management system can aggregate project data from various content items associated with the project and present the project data in a single graphical user interface.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a client device, a user selection of a first project folder managed by a content management system;
responsive to receiving the user selection, requesting, by the client device from the content management system, first project data associated with a first project, the first project data comprising content items, comments, and tasks associated with the first project;
presenting, by the client device, a first project folder view that includes representations of the content items, the comments, and the tasks associated with the first project;
receiving, by the client device, a second user selection of a second project folder managed by the content management system;
responsive to receiving the user selection, requesting, by the client device from the content management system, second project data associated with a second project, the second project data comprising second content items, second comments, and second tasks associated with the second project;
and
presenting, by the client device, a second project folder view that includes second representations of the second content items, the second comments, and the second tasks associated with the second project.

A method comprising:

receiving, by a content management system from a client device, a request to access a first project folder managed by the content management system;
responsive to receiving the request, obtaining, by the content management system, first project data associated with a first project, the first project data comprising content items, comments, and tasks associated with the first project;
generating, by the content management system, a first project folder view that comprises representations of the content items, the comments, and the tasks associated with the first project;
causing, by the content management system, the client device to present the first project folder view on a display of the client device;
receiving, by the content management system from the client device, a second request to access a second project folder managed by the content management system;
responsive to receiving the request, obtaining, by the content management system, second project data associated with a second project, the second project data comprising second content items, second comments, and second tasks associated with the second project;
generating, by the content management system, a second project folder view that comprises second representations of the second content items, the second comments, and the second tasks associated with the second project;
and
causing, by the content management system, the client device to present the second project folder view on the display of the client device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more sequences of instructions, when, when executed by one or more processors, causes a computing system to perform operations, comprising:

receiving, by the computing system, a user selection of a first project folder for presenting first project data corresponding to a first project;
responsive to receiving the user selection, obtaining, by the computing system, the first project data associated with the first project, the first project data comprising content items, comments, and tasks associated with the first project;
causing, by the computing system, presentation of a first project folder view that includes representations of the content items, the comments, and the tasks associated with the first project;
receiving, by the computing system a second user selection of a second project folder for presenting second project data corresponding to a second project;
responsive to receiving the user selection, obtaining, by the computing system, the second project data associated with the second project, the second project data comprising second content items, second comments, and second tasks associated with the second project;
and
causing, by the computing system, presentation of a second project folder view that includes second representations of the second content items, the second comments, and the second tasks associated with the second project.
