SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING A GROUP ORDER AND AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF GROUP ORDER NOTIFICATION AND FEEDBACK CONFORMING TO PRE-SPECIFIED FEEDBACK CONSTRAINTS

摘要

Systems, methods and tools facilitate efficient and convenient e-commerce based group ordering. A group order organizer tool allows a group order organizer to create and configure a group order, specify group members, specify and configure information to be solicited from group members, and customize various details of the group order. The group order tool automatically generates member-specific group order notification documents containing member-specific input controls to allow individual group members to input solicited information. Group order notification and management tools send out the group order notification documents to the group members and manage the responses.
