Abstract
Access to first data is provided to a first user and to a second user. A specified change is received from the first user. Access to second data generated based on the first user's specified change is provided only to the first user. The first data is updated based on the specified change, in response to a selection by the first user of an option to apply the specified change to the first data. Simultaneous access to the updated first data is provided to the first user and to the second user.
Claims17
A method for providing online data management services, the method comprising:
- providing simultaneous access to first data to a first user and to a second user;
- providing, only to the first user, access to second data, in response to a selection by the first user of a preview option;
- receiving filter criteria from the first user;
- filtering the second data based on the filter criteria;
- receiving from the first user a specified change to the second data;
- providing, only to the first user, an update option to update the first data based on the specified change;
- and
- updating the first data based on the specified change, in response to a selection by the first user of the update option.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having program instructions stored thereon, the instructions capable of execution by a processor and defining the steps of:
- providing simultaneous access to first data to a first user and to a second user;
- providing, only to the first user, access to second data in response to a selection by the first user of a preview option;
- receiving filter criteria from the first user;
- filtering the second data based on the filter criteria;
- receiving from the first user a specified change to the second data;
- providing, only to the first user, an update option to update the first data based on the specified change;
- and
- updating the first data based on the specified change, in response to a selection by the first user of option.
A method for providing online data management services, the method comprising:
- transmitting first information adapted to cause a first user device to display a first representation of a first data set maintained by an online document processing service;
- transmitting second information adapted to cause a second user device to display a second representation of the first data set;
- receiving from the first user device a first selection of a preview option to activate a preview mode with respect to the first data set;
- in response to the first selection, generating a second data set based on the first data set;
- transmitting second information adapted to cause the first user device to display simultaneously a third representation of the first data set and a fourth representation of the second data set;
- updating the second data set based on an input received from the first user device;
- causing only the first user device to display an update option to update the first data set based on the updated second data set;
- and
- updating the first data set based on the updated second data set, in response to a second selection of the update option received from the first user device.
