Abstract
The present inventions comprise a system and method for assigning an identifier to at least one of a plurality of displayable task schedules associated with a corresponding plurality of different entities, the identifier representing a task requiring action by an entity. In an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises a display processor for initiating display of at least one interface menu to support a user'"'"'s entry of decision information for assigning a task representative identifier to a task schedule associated with a particular entity; an interface processor for receiving decision information entered via the interface menu; and a decision processor for applying the received decision information in assigning the task representative identifier to the task schedule associated with the particular entity in response to a predetermined event. In an exemplary method of the present inventions for assigning an identifier to at least one of a plurality of displayable task schedules associated with a corresponding plurality of different entities where the identifier represents a task requiring action by an entity, an exemplary method comprises the steps of initiating display of at least one interface menu supporting user entry of decision information for assigning a task representative identifier to a task schedule associated with a particular entity; receiving decision information entered via the at least one interface menu; and applying the received decision information in assigning the task representative identifier to the task schedule associated with the particular entity in response to a predetermined event. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of meaning of the claims.
