Data object matching based on hierarchies for software applications

A method comprising:

• generating a set of documents;
• loading data associated with each data object in a set of data objects in a document in the set of documents, each data object comprising a set of users;
• receiving a record from a first user, the record comprising a set of items;
• for each item in the set of items, determining one or more data objects in the set of data objects based on a hierarchy comprising a plurality of nodes representing a plurality of users by performing a search on the set of documents to identify the one or more data objects in the set of data objects and associating the identified one or more data objects in the set of data objects with the item;
• and
• providing to a second user information for a subset of the set of data objects associated with the second user.

A system comprising:

• a set of processing units;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by at least one processing unit in the set of processing units cause the at least one processing unit to:
• generate a set of documents;
• load data associated with each data object in a set of data objects in a document in the set of documents, each data object comprising a set of users;
• receive a record from a first user, the record comprising a set of items;
• for each item in the set of items, determine one or more data objects in the set of data objects based on a hierarchy comprising a plurality of nodes representing a plurality of users by performing a search on the set of documents to identify the one or more data objects in the set of data objects and associating the identified one or more data objects in the set of data objects with the item;
• and
• provide to a second user information for a subset of the set of data objects associated with the second user.
