Abstract
In some embodiments, techniques are provided for improving the detection of repeated actions during the manipulation of tabular data in order to enable the creation of automated action sequences. Activity log records are created that represent actions taken with respect to a set of tabular data. One or more normalized versions of the activity log records may be created. The activity log records (and, in some embodiments, the normalized versions of the activity log records) may be grouped and hashed together, such that groups of activity log records may be compared to each other by comparing the resulting hashes. Grouping and hashing may allow large numbers of comparisons to be made efficiently enough to support detection of repeated actions on large scale, multi-user, and multi-tenant systems.
