Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method to indicate context synchronization of applications on a computer desktop that polls information from disparate applications and provides an indication of whether or not the information is synchronized. The disclosure uses an application located on each workstation that performs the “polling” and displays the synchronization state. The present disclosure does not involve a server process. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
