Disclosed are systems, servers and methods for a multi-tenant framework that manages and controls operations of software as a service (SaaS) applications and services, and the data and metadata (e.g., files) created, updated and interacted with therefrom. The disclosed framework provides a centralized approach to managing the entitlement and provisioning of SaaS applications on client devices across a variety of channels on a network. The disclosed SaaS framework is configured for management, control, deployment and synchronization between devices, applications, systems and platforms both on-premises (on-prem or local devices/storage) and/or hosted on a network (e.g., a cloud platform, service or platform).

Operations productivity software system, server and method

A system and method are described for designing animated visualization interfaces depicting, at a supervisory level, manufacturing and process control information wherein graphical symbols in the visualization interfaces are associated with components of a process control/manufacturing information application. The system includes a graphical symbol library for maintaining a set of graphical symbol templates wherein the graphical symbol templates including a graphics definition including graphics and a reference to an application component type. The reference facilitates identifying candidate application components for creating an association between a graphical symbol instance created from a graphical symbol template and one of the candidate application components. The system also includes a graphical symbol design environment for selecting the graphical symbol template, specifying an application component corresponding to the component type, and creating an association between the graphical symbol instance and the specified application component.

System and method for developing animated visualization interfaces

A system and method for establishing associative relationships between properties of a contained object and corresponding parameters of a container application is disclosed herein. In one embodiment the present system contemplates the establishment of both mutual and unilateral associative relationships, with a particular relationship being specified via a user interface created upon instantiation of the contained object. The associative relationships may be advantageously established without modification of the code comprising the contained object.

Method and system for associating parameters of containers and contained objects

A method and system are disclosed for rendering animated graphics on a browser client based upon a stream of runtime data from a manufacturing/process control system. The graphics animation is based upon an animated graphic display object specification and runtime data from a portal server affecting an appearance trait of the animated graphic display object. The client browser receives an animated graphics description from the portal server specifying an animation behavior for an identified graphical display object. The client creates a data exchange connection between an animated display object, corresponding to the animated graphics description, and a source of runtime data from the portal server affecting display of the animated display object. Thereafter, the client applies runtime data received from the source of runtime data to the animated display object to render an animated graphic display object.

Method and system for animating graphical user interface elements via a manufacturing/process control portal server

A manufacturing/process control system information access provider architecture is disclosed. Manufacturing/process control system data provider flexibility is achieved through a user-configurable manufacturing/process control information portal server that comprises multiple selectable data provides (sources) and/or data types that a particular data provider accommodates. A user configures the portal server to deliver manufacturing/process control information associated with a controlled process environment, such as a food processing plant floor or an oil refinery reactor, to the user via a browser client over the Internet or a corporate intranet. Furthermore, an extensible architecture is provided that enables adding new components to the portal server. Such extensions include new data sources and new data types/handlers. The new architecture enables a user to select particular ones of the available data handlers and then their associated data sources thereby facilitating customizing the configuration of the portal server to the particular needs/interests of the user.

Extensible manufacturing/process control information portal server

A system and method for establishing associative relationships between properties of a contained object and corresponding parameters of a container application. The system contemplates establishment of mutual and unilateral associative relationships, with a particular relationship being specified via a user interface created upon instantiation of the contained object. Such associative relationships may be advantageously established without modification of the code comprising the contained object. In one aspect the system facilitates implementation of selected functionality of a container application prescribed by an event script. In this context an association is created between an event arising within a contained object instantiated in a computing environment and a script associated with the container application. An event indication is generated in response to occurrence of a particular event within the contained object. In response, the event script is invoked and a sequence of script commands corresponding to the selected functionality are carried out.
