Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for supporting dynamic reconfiguration. The systems and methods can include: pointing to a document server providing document services as a primary document server; dynamically reconfigure and point itself to use a document appliance indicated by an electronic invite received by the first computing device from a second computing device; and enable the first computing device to pass data or information received in the electronic invite to the document application in response to the first client.
Claims17
A first computing device for supporting dynamic reconfiguration of a document application, comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor that, when executing the instructions, is configured to execute the document application, configured to:
- point to a document server providing document services as a primary document server, wherein the document application is configured to enable a first client of the first computing device to access documents via the primary document server;
- point to a document appliance indicated by an electronic invite received by the first computing device from a second computing device;
- and
- enable the first computing device to pass data or information received in the electronic invite to the document application in response to the first client clicking a link or pressing a button associated with the electronic invite,
- wherein the document application is further automatically reconfigured to point back to the primary document server once a specific set of document operations on the document has been performed by a secondary document server.
A computer-implemented method for supporting dynamic reconfiguration of a document application, comprising:
- configuring, by a processor, the document application to point to and utilize a document server providing document services as a primary document server, wherein the document application is configured to enable a first client of a first computing device to access documents via the primary document server;
- pointing, by the processor, the document application to use a document appliance indicated by an electronic invite received by the first computing device from a second computing device;
- configuring, by the processor, the document application to enable the first computing device to pass data or information received in the electronic invite to the document application in response to the first client clicking a link or pressing a button associated with the electronic invite;
- and
- automatically reconfiguring and pointing, by the processor, the document application back to the primary document server once a specific set of document operations on the document has been performed by a secondary document server.
A system for supporting dynamic reconfiguration of a document application, comprising:
- a first multi-tenant cloud-based document server configured to provide document services to a plurality of clients;
- a mobile device comprising a processor that executes the document application, the document application configured to:
- point to and utilize the first multi-tenant cloud-based document server providing the document services as a primary document server, where the document application is configured to enable a first client of the mobile device to access documents via the primary document server;
- point itself to a document appliance indicated by an electronic invite received by the mobile device from a computing device;
- enable the mobile device to pass data or information received in the electronic invite to the document application in response to the first client clicking a link or pressing a button associated with the electronic invite, wherein the document application is further automatically reconfigured to point back to its primary document server once a specific set of document operations on the document has been performed by the document appliance, and wherein the document appliance is configured to create and push the electronic invite to the mobile device over a network based on an input at the computing device.
