Abstract

A method and a system for preparing and delivering an archive on a computer-readable medium is provided. A platform gathers and stores data on the platform that can be viewed through a first graphical user interface over the Internet. In addition, the platform generates an archive of the data in a web browser readable format containing instructions of a second graphical user interface. The archive can be viewed offline with a web browser through the second graphical user interface. Lastly, the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are substantially identical.

Claims

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the first graphical user interface contains general components for viewing information and specific components for modifying information; and

the second graphical user interface contains only the general components of the first graphical user interface for viewing information.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising gathering user selections and entries that define the data stored on the platform to archive to the computer-readable medium.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

generating the second graphical interface of the archive in a human language based on a user selected language option.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platform limits access to add, to modify, and to delete data depending on a user permission setting, the user permission setting being based on a first user'"'"'s role in a transaction on the platform.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1,

wherein the data on the platform viewed through the first graphical user interface are based on a first user'"'"'s role in a transaction on the platform;

and

wherein the archive can be generated containing the data available based on the first user'"'"'s role or the archive can be generated containing a subset of the data, the subset being defined by a second user'"'"'s role in the transaction on the platform.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

gathering user selections and entries that define parameters with which a CD-ROM label image is created for a CD-ROM; and

generating the CD-ROM label image.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platform is a real estate collaborative transaction management platform.

9. A method for preparing and delivering an archive on a computer-readable medium, the method comprising:

gathering and storing data related to a particular transaction on a collaborative transaction management platform that can be viewed through a first graphical user interface over the Internet, wherein the collaborative transaction management platform limits access to add, to modify, and to delete data depending on a user permission setting, the user permission setting being based on a first user'"'"'s role in the particular transaction on the collaborative transaction management platform; and

generating an archive of the data in a web browser readable format containing instructions of a second graphical user interface, wherein the archive can be viewed offline with a web browser through the second graphical user interface, and wherein the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are substantially identical.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein:

the first graphical user interface contains general components for viewing information and specific components for modifying information on the collaborative transaction management platform; and

the second graphical user interface contains only the general components of the first graphical user interface for viewing information.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10, further comprising gathering user selections and entries that define the data stored on the platform to archive to the computer-readable medium.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, further comprising:

generating the second graphical interface of the archive in a human language based on a user selected language option.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12,

wherein the data on the platform viewed through the first graphical user interface are based on the first user'"'"'s role in the particular transaction on the collaborative transaction management platform;

and

wherein the archive can be generated containing the data available based on the first user'"'"'s role or the archive can be generated containing a subset of the data, the subset being defined by a second user'"'"'s role in the particular transaction on the collaborative transaction management platform.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13, further comprising:

gathering user selections and entries that define parameters with which a CD-ROM label image is created for a CD-ROM; and

generating the CD-ROM label image.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the collaborative transaction management platform is a real estate collaborative transaction management platform.

16. A system for preparing and delivering an archive on a computer-readable medium, the system comprising a memory medium, the memory medium including machine readable instructions stored in the memory medium that, when executed by a processor, enables a computer:

to gather and to store data on a platform that can be viewed through a first graphical user interface over the Internet; and

to generate an archive of the data in a web browser readable format containing instructions of a second graphical user interface, wherein the archive can be viewed offline with a web browser through the second graphical user interface, and wherein the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are substantially identical.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein:

the first graphical user interface contains general components for viewing information and specific components for modifying information on the platform; and

the second graphical user interface contains only the general components of the first graphical user interface for viewing information.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the memory medium including the machine readable instructions stored in the memory medium that, when executed by a processor, further enables a computer:

to gather user selections and entries that define the data stored on the platform to archive to the computer-readable medium.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the memory medium including the machine readable instructions stored in the memory medium that, when executed by a processor, further enables a computer:

to generate the second graphical interface of the archive in a human language based on a user selected language option.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the platform limits access to add, to modify, and to delete data depending on a user permission setting, the user permission setting being based on a first user'"'"'s role in a transaction on the platform.

21. The system as claimed in claim 16,

wherein the data on the platform viewed through the first graphical user interface are based on a first user'"'"'s role in a transaction on the platform;

and

wherein the archive can be generated containing the data available based on the first user'"'"'s role or the archive can be generated containing a subset of the data, the subset being defined by a second user'"'"'s role in the transaction on the platform.

22. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the memory medium including the machine readable instructions stored in the memory medium that, when executed by a processor, further enables a computer:

to gather user selections and entries that define parameters with which a CD-ROM label image is created for a CD-ROM; and

to generate the CD-ROM label image.

23. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the platform is a real estate collaborative transaction management platform.

24. A system for preparing and delivering an archive on a computer-readable medium comprising:
