Automatically subscribing users of an enterprise network to a record
First Claim
1. A server-system-implemented method for associating users of an enterprise network to a record stored in a database of records, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a server system of a multi-tenant database system, a change in a status of a first record in a database of records of the multi-tenant database system, the first record including enterprise-related information, the first record having an associated state field having one of two or more possible states, each of the two or more states representing a respective status of the first record, the detection of the change in the status including detecting a change of the state in the state field; and
in response to the detection of the change in the status;
identifying, by the server system, one or more related users in the enterprise network that are currently relevant to the first record based on the change in the status, the identifying including;
identifying one or more records in the database of records that are related to the first record; and
identifying, for each of the one or more related records, one or more users in the enterprise network that are related to the respective related record; and
subscribing, by the server system, each of the one or more related users to the first record.

Abstract
Various implementations are directed to systems, apparatus, computer-implemented methods and storage media for detecting a change in a status of a record and, in response to the detection of the change in status, identifying related users that are currently relevant to the record based on the change in the status. The identified users are subscribed to the record, and as a result, communications generated for the record are distributed to them. In some implementations, currently relevant users are users that have a role in developing, working with or supervising the record in the record'"'"'s current status, or a role in transitioning the record from its current status to another status. It can be desirable to subscribe currently relevant users because the distribution of communications concerning the record in its current status to these users can benefit an enterprise by virtue of these users knowing the information in the communications.

12. A system for associating users of an enterprise network to a record stored in a database of records, the system comprising:
a database system implemented using a server system including one or more processors and a database of records, the database system configurable to; detect a change in a status of a first record in the database of records, the first record including enterprise-related information, the first record having an associated state field having one of two or more possible states, each of the two or more states representing a respective status of the first record, the detection of the change in the status including detecting a change of the state in the state field; and in response to the detection of the change in the status; identify one or more related users in the enterprise network that are currently relevant to the first record based on the change in the status, the identification including; identifying one or more records in the database of records that are related to the first record; and identifying, for each of the one or more related records, one or more users in the enterprise network that are related to the respective related record; and subscribe each of the one or more related users to the first record. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
