Workflow relationship management and contextualization

摘要

Described herein are methods and system for electronic workflow management having a central server that periodically scans data accessible to multiple computers and data interacted with by different users to generate a nodal data structure comprising of interrelated nodes where each node corresponds to a workflow component, such as files, messages, tasks, and the like. The server then executes various analytical protocols to identify and link/merge nodes corresponding to related content. Upon receiving an indication that a user is entering his/her time into a timekeeping software tool, the server traverses the nodal data structure, identifies a relevant project associated with the user's worked hours and displays a suggestion (e.g., identified project) for the user.
