The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes data. During operation, the system obtains a first electronic document associated with a user. Next, the system obtains one or more locations of data elements in the first electronic document from the user and uses the one or more locations to extract a first set of data from the first electronic document. Finally, the system enables, for the user, use of the first set of data with an application without requiring manual input of the first set of data into the application.

Extracting data from semi-structured electronic documents

A method for tracking time, including obtaining a plurality of tasks; identify a first open event and a first close event associated with a first file; identifying a start idle event and an end idle event associated with the first file after identifying the first open event; generating a first open event time stamp for the first open event, a first close event time stamp for the first close event, a start idle event time stamp for the start idle event, and an end idle event time stamp for the end idle event; mapping the first file to a first task of the plurality of tasks; and presenting a report including the first task, the first open event time stamp, the first close event time stamp, the start idle event time stamp, and the end idle event time stamp.

System and method for time tracking

The invention relates to a method for tracking time using a mobile computing device. The method steps include providing a first event manager on the mobile computing device for managing event records, wherein each event record is synchronized via an exchange server to a corresponding event record managed by a second event manager on a client machine, generating a time tracking record based on input from a user of the mobile computing device, wherein the time tracking record is added to the event records as a surrogate event record, transmitting the surrogate event record via the exchange server to the second event manager operatively coupled to a client application on the client machine, extracting time entry information from the surrogate event record using the client application for tracking time, and generating estimated time entry information automatically based on the event record.

System and method for time tracking on a mobile computing device

A computer-implemented method for creating report templates from a report in a financial software application executing on a processor includes receiving the report having a layout and a content field containing financial data, and that the report is received from a first user of the financial software application. The method also includes determining a structure of the report including the layout of the report and the content field of the report, and storing the structure as a report template. The report template is stored independently of the financial data, and is accessible by a second user of the financial software application.

Exportable report templates

A computer-implemented method for creating reports from financial data in a financial software application includes receiving a selection of a report template to be used to create a report. The report template includes query parameters, layout information, and content field information. The method also includes receiving financial data from a data source, assessing whether the financial data is compatible with the report template by examining a data file type and contents of the financial data to ensure consistency with the selection of the report template and the content field information, and applying the received layout information and received content field information to the received financial data to generate a report having a layout specified by the layout information, and including content associated with the content field information.
