A method may include accessing a ratings datastore, the rating datastore including ratings for users with respect to a feature of a software application; transmitting a request for generating a content unit with respect to the feature to a first user of the users based on the first user's ratings for the feature in the ratings datastore; receiving the content unit from the first user; selecting a set of users from a first class of users to review the received content unit based on the set of users' respective ratings for the feature in the ratings datastore; storing the received content unit in a content datastore as associated with a content rating for the feature based on ratings received from the set of users.

Automated content generation

A method may include receiving request from a first user via an application, for assistance with completion of a document within the application; determining expected characteristics of the completed document, the expected characteristics identifying: a plurality of tasks to be performed to generate the completed document; and a document value; performing a computer-implemented matching process to match the first user with a second user based on the plurality of tasks and document value; and configuring permissions of the application to allow collaborative editing within the application between the first user and second user to complete the document.

System for collaborative editing based on document evaluation

A method may include accessing user activity data with respect to performances of a feature within an electronic application by a user; calculating a similarity score for the user with respect to a level of proficiency for the feature based on the accessed user activity data; and based on the similarity score meeting a threshold value: updating a level of proficiency value in a user profile for the feature of the electronic application; and enabling the user to enter into a collaborative editing mode with another user to complete a document using the feature of the application.

System for classification based on user actions

A method may include maintaining in a database, a plurality of documentation content items for an application; receive, from a user, a request to modify a content item of the plurality of documentation content items, the content item associated with a feature of the application; accessing a rating of the user with respect to the feature; and based on the rating meeting a threshold: authorizing the user to modify the content item; receiving modifications to the content item from the user; and updating the content item in the database based on the modifications.

Metric-based content editing system

A method may include identifying a first set of objects that are part of a document, the document created by an application, and the first set of objects placed in the document by a first user; based on the first set of objects, determining an intent of the first user for the document; automatically adding, by the application, a second set of objects to the document according to the intent; and configuring permissions of the document to allow collaborative editing within the application between the first user and a second user to add a third set of objects to the document.

Machine learning using collaborative editing data

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for linking enterprise resource planning data to business capabilities. Embodiments provide a linkage between schematized ERP data (e.g., financial data) and schematized business capabilities. The linkage provides the ability to report in a visual way that permits the linkage of such things as business value, performance, maturity, interconnectedness, process standardization, compliance, etc. As such, businesses capabilities can be linked to specific spend amounts in ERP data.
