Document management and collaboration system

A method and apparatus for processing service requests for non-transactional databases are disclosed. In the method and apparatus, the execution of a first operation may be initiated based at least in part on receiving a service request from a user. The first operation may be executed synchronously with receipt of the request. Further, one or more execution workflows may be provisioned for asynchronous execution of one or more other operations.

Processing service requests for non-transactional databases

Organizations maintain and generate large amounts of documentation and entities of these organizations often need to collaborate on generating and reviewing this information. There is a need to maintain and store this documentation remotely in such a way that the entities of these organizations may collaborate with each other. To ensure that information is handled effectively, new versions are created for documents uploaded to a service provider by entities of the organization. The documents are processed in such a way that the documents are displayed uniformly across a variety of devices.

Document version control in collaborative environment

A method and apparatus for controlling access to documents retained by a document management and collaboration system is disclosed. The document management and collaboration system may generate one or more suggested privileges associated with one or more users. An access control policy may specify whether system-generated user privileges may be enforced. If they are enforced, access to one or more document may be made subject to the generated privileges.

Access control for a document management and collaboration system

A method and apparatus for forming a collection of documents is disclosed. In the method and apparatus, a plurality of documents are identified for inclusion in a document collection. The documents are identified based at least in part on one or more attributes of at least one document of the plurality of documents. A user is requested to confirm the document collection, and an instruction is received from the user indicating one or more documents of the plurality of documents may be included in the document collection. After the indication is received, the collection may be formed and made available to the user or one or more other users of a document management and collaboration system.
