Estimating the term…
A data storage and retrieval mechanism includes a base table to store attributes common to each of the customer-specific variants and a spill-over table to store customer-specific attributes for associated individual ones of the customer-specific variants, the attributes of the base table and spill-over table each sharing a common, human readable name-referencing scheme. The customer-specific variants provide for corporate personalization of data storage, retrieval, and input and output operations/presentations as well as workflows that use such data. The name-referencing scheme may utilize multi-part names for data objects and such names may be used by other applications within the hosted environment for creating workflows, visual representations of the workflows, and/or data forms. Preferably, workflows are customized to customer-specific variants and may be created by a workflow engine that segregates scheduled transactions according to processes described by the workflows into asynchronous operations when such transactions cause actions outside the hosted environment.
A computer system configured to operate under the control of a process, which when implemented by the computer system performs the steps of:
A computer-hosted environment providing applications for a number of users, each application built on one or more databases having various common aspects across the numerous users and configured to be customized so as to offer each of the numerous users personalized data formats, process formats and/or visual representations for the data formats and/or process formats.
A data representation scheme for a computer database, comprising:
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
