Electronic multi-user forms are provided. The use of these forms may include displaying the forms to more than one user, receiving population data from one or more user, and selectively displaying the population data to each user. The population data may be displayed to the various users based on the security authorization of the user seeing the form. Upon completion of the form by the users, the form may be further completed and submitted for processing or approval.

Multi-source electronic forms with concealed fields

A method, system and computer program product for optimizing the loading of a web page. The server receives indications (e.g., Document Object Model (DOM) elements) of web page elements of interest of a web page from multiple client devices. The server updates a list of web page elements for the requested web page that is sorted in terms of popularity based on these received indications of web page elements of interest. The server may then appropriately respond to a request to retrieve that web page by accessing such a list and transmitting to the browser of the requesting client device the data to populate the content of the web page elements for the requested web page in an order based on the sorted list. In this manner, the browser will be able to optimize the loading of the web page.

Optimizing loading of web page based on aggregated user preferences for web page elements of web page

Some examples described are directed to operations performed by a processor of a computer system to receive text data corresponding to a piece of text (e.g., a text string) displayable via a display device. The processor can further perform operations to determine, based on evaluation of the text data using text-filtering logic, that a revision condition exists for at least a portion of the piece of text. The processor can further perform operations to, in response to determination that the revision condition exists, determine, for a display data set corresponding to the piece of text, to either not display the at least the portion of the piece of text or display a modified form of the at least the portion of the piece of text. The processor can further perform operations to, present, via the display device, a display (e.g., a graphical-user-interface object) corresponding to the display data set.

Filtering prohibited language displayable via a user-interface

A method, system and computer program product for session completion through co-browsing is claimed. The method can include establishing a content browsing session between a first computing device and a content server serving access to content to the first computing device and maintaining state data for the content browsing session. A co-browsing arrangement of the content can be created as between the first computing device and a second computing device and at least a subset of the state data can be cloned for use by the second computing device during co-browsing of the content. Thereafter, a modified form of the subset of the state data can be received from the second computing device resulting from the co-browsing of the content by the second computing device and the modified form of the subset of the state data can be provided to the first computing device for use during the content browsing session.

Session completion through co-browsing

Version control for a document can include receiving from a user a request to commit one or more revisions to a master document in a document repository. The one or more revisions can be included in a local copy of the master document. A processor can determine whether an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy. In response to a determination that an accept only designation is assigned to at least a portion of the local copy, the respective revisions assigned an accept only designation can be disallowed from incorporation into the master document. Revisions made to the master document can be sent to the user for incorporation into the user's local copy of the master document. Such sending is not prevented by the assignment of an accept only designation to at least a portion of the local copy of the master document.

Version control with accept only designations

A request for a partial update of web content is received that identifies at least one web content element associated with the web content. An update is requested for the identified at least one web content element from a content server. The partial update of the web content is performed in response to receipt of the update for the identified at least one web content element from the content server.

Selective partial updates of web content

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for dynamic selection of a runtime classloader for a generated class file. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for dynamic selection of a runtime classloader for a generated class file is provided. The method includes extracting meta-data from a program object directed for execution in an application server and determining from the meta-data a container identity for a container in which the program object had been compiled. The method also includes selecting a container according to the meta-data. Finally, the method includes classloading the program object in the selected container.

Dynamic determination of application server runtime classloading

Systems and methods for providing a social network. The methods involve: creating a relationship between a first entity and a second entity; setting authorization which indicates that a user of said first entity is authorized to view inventory data of said second entity; receiving a request to view first inventory data of said first entity and second inventory data of said second entity by said user; and determining whether said user is authorized to view said second inventory data. If said user is authorized: querying a first remote inventory management system of said first entity for said first inventory data and a second remote inventory management system of said second entity for said second inventory data; receiving said first and second inventory data; generating an aggregate view comprising said first and second inventory data; and providing content of said aggregate view to a client computing device of said first entity.

Business-to-business social network

A method for managing a two-way form over a direct link is provided. The method includes establishing a communicative link between two communications clients each separately executing in memory by a processor of a corresponding one of two computers. The method also includes managing a two-way form rendered as individual instances of the two-way form each in a corresponding content browser executing in a corresponding one of the two computers. Finally, the method includes exchanging synchronization information for the two-way form over the communicative link. In one aspect of the embodiment, the method also includes prompting in one of the individual instances of the two-way form for verification of an update to a field providing in another of the individual instances of the two-way form. In another aspect of the embodiment, the method includes recording a verification of the update to the field in an audit trail.
