Resource finder tool
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing a data source of resource profiles associated with a plurality of resources, each resource being at least one of a plurality of resource types;
receiving, through a user interface, one or more first attributes of a resource desired by a user, wherein receiving attributes comprises receiving a search template from the user and the search template is auto-configured based on the resource type, attributes, or facets;
searching, using a processor, the data source of resource profiles for profiles having one or more of the first attributes;
providing, to the user, a hit-list of resources having the one or more first attributes;
receiving one or more second attributes of the resource through a refinement user interface;
searching, using a processor, the hit-list for resources having the one or more second attributes;
providing, to the user, a narrowed hit-list of resources having the one or more first and second attributes;
storing the hit-list as a collection of resources which is used for further actions or stored as a persistent collection,automatically creating two or more segments of the narrowed hit-list by grouping the resources according to one of a plurality of attribute dimensions generating, for the user, statistics associated with the segments;
receiving a selection of two or more segments through the user interface;
providing, to the user, a subset of the narrowed hit-list based on the selected two or more segments; and
using the hit-list to create a community, the community only including users sharing the first attribute.

Abstract
Systems and techniques to develop an enterprise management consolidation system are described including a cross-functional application to provide communication between at least one of an object modeling tool, a process modeling tool and a user interface tool. The user interface tool is configured to find resources having desired characteristics. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving characteristics of a resource desired by a user and searching a data source of resource profiles to locate profiles having one or more of the characteristics. The located profiles are provided to the user in a hit-list, which may then be narrowed by receiving from the user refinements or segment filters.
