A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place that is accessible by a plurality of remote clients and supports a plurality of collaboration activities. The server can be configured to provide primary display data to each of a plurality of client computers associated with the authorized users simultaneously accessing the collaboration place to cause each of the plurality of clients to display the primary display data in a primary display of a corresponding collaboration place interface. Responsive to detecting a request from a first collaboration place interface at a first client computer of the plurality of client computers to include a secondary display with the primary display in the corresponding collaboration place interface, wherein the secondary display is configured to display collaboration place data associated with a different collaborative activity than the primary display prior to escalation.

Systems and methods for escalating a collaboration interface

In some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods provide a client-server infrastructure capable of supporting a variety of asynchronous and synchronous collaboration activities in a so-called collaboration place. Some of these activities include chatting, viewing and/or editing one or more data files, and sharing one or more applications, data files, and/or displays. The client-server infrastructure supports seamless navigation between the supported asynchronous and synchronous activities in the collaboration place. Additionally, the client-server architecture supports data persistence, so that data files associated with the collaboration place can be stored for subsequent access.

Systems and methods for providing access to objects and searchable attributes of objects in a collaboration place

A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place. The server can be configured to provide primary display data to each of a plurality of client computers associated with the authorized users simultaneously accessing the collaboration place to cause each of the plurality of clients to display the primary display data in a primary display of a corresponding collaboration place interface. Responsive to detecting a request from a first collaboration place interface to include a secondary display with the primary display in the corresponding collaboration place interface the server escalates a second collaboration place interface to include the secondary display as a sub-display of the primary display, wherein the collaboration place interface secondary display is configured to display collaboration place data associated with a different collaborative activity than the primary display prior to escalation.

A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place that is accessible by a plurality of remote clients and supports a plurality of collaboration activities. Data is generated based on at least one event associated with a collaborative activity and stored as a content item. The content item is accessed to generate at least a portion of the searchable attributes of the data based on the contents of the content item. The server enables a first client data connection from a first client computer to the data to provide a first client user access to the data and a second client data connection from a second client computer to the data to provide a second client user access to the data and the searchable attributes of the data.

Systems and methods for providing a client-server infrastructure for asynchronous and synchronus collaboration including co-editing activity collision prevention

Systems and methods for providing a collaboration place interface including data that is persistent after a client is longer in the collaboration place among a plurality of clients
