A computer-implemented method of online collaboration on a document includes converting a source document from a document generation format to an independent file format, generating a coordinate map for displayed elements of the source document, displaying text of the document to a commenting user in the independent file format, allowing the commenting user to select and comment on the text, matching the displayed text and the comments with the source document using the coordinate map to generate a difference map, and storing the comments and the difference maps external from the source document.

System for tracking comments during document collaboration

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and financial close management system are provided that manage a schedule. A schedule is a core object of the financial close management system, and is an expression of a template. Managing a schedule can include creating a new schedule, modifying an existing schedule, deleting an existing schedule, duplicating an existing schedule, validating an existing schedule, creating a template from an existing schedule, setting a status of an existing schedule, and importing and exporting an existing schedule. In addition, managing a schedule can include defining task type parameters that can be set during scheduling and setting task parameters of a schedule at a schedule level rather than a task level.

Managing schedules in a financial close management system

A computer-readable medium, computer-implemented method, and financial close management system are provided that includes a integration framework that allows an end user to leverage services or interfaces from external applications as part of a business process, such as a financial close process, of a financial close management system. The integration framework can integrate a task that requires the user to interact with a user interface of an external application (identified as an 'end user task') with the financial close management system. The integration framework can also integrate a task that runs without any user interaction required, and that interacts with a web service of an external application (identified as a 'system automated task') with the financial close management system.
