Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a method, a system, and a computer program product for displaying a change event for a web page. The method includes receiving a change event location located on a web page in a pre-deployment environment. The method includes querying a database to return a plurality of change events for the change event location within a duration period. The duration period includes a start time and an end time. The method includes displaying the plurality of change events from the query. The method includes prioritizing the plurality of change events from the query. The method includes selecting an active change event from the plurality of change events based on the priority. The method also includes displaying the active change event to a user.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a database configured to store a plurality of change events and change event attributes, each change event is a future change to content for a web page;

a display;

a processor; and

a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory is encoded with instructions and wherein the instructions when executed by the processor include;

receiving a change event and one or more change event attributes,

accessing the database for stored change events,

determining whether the received change event matches the stored change events,

adding the received change event to the database in response to the received change event not matching the stored change events,

receiving a change event location located on the web page in a pre-deployment environment,

querying the database to return a plurality of change events for the change event location within a duration period, wherein the duration period includes a start time and an end time,

displaying the plurality of change events from the query on the display,

prioritizing the plurality of change events from the query,

selecting a change event from the plurality of change events based on the prioritizing, making the change event an active change event, and

displaying the active change event to a user via the display.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor include:

determining whether the stored change event is a current version by comparing a timestamp of the change event attributes of the stored change event to a timestamp of the change event attributes of the received change events in response to the received change event matching the stored change event; and

updating the change event attributes of the stored change event in response the stored change event not being the current version.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the displaying the plurality of change events from the query includes:

displaying a timeline view of the change event.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions when executed by the processor include:

selecting a first change event and a second change event that both share at least a portion of the duration period; and

merging the first change event and the second change event.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein an end time of the first change event matches a start time of the second change event.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the displaying the active change event to the user via the display comprises:

displaying the active change event in a manner visually distinct from the plurality of change events.

7. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

receive a change event and one or more change event attributes;

access a database for stored change events;

determine whether the received change event matches the stored change events;

add the received change event to the database in response to the received change event not matching the stored change events;

receive a change event location located on a web page in a pre-deployment environment;

query the database to return a plurality of change events for the change event location within a duration period, wherein the duration period includes a start time and an end time;

display the plurality of change events from the query;

prioritize the plurality of change events from the query;

select a change event from the plurality of change events based on the prioritizing, making the change event an active change event; and

display the active change event to a user.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the computer readable program causes the computing device to:

select a first change event and a second change event that both share at least a portion of the duration period; and

merge the first change event and the second change event.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein an end time of the first change event matches a start time of the second change event.

10. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the computer readable program causes the computing device to display the active change event by:

displaying the active change event in a manner visually distinct from the plurality of change events.

11. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the computer readable program causes the computing device to:

determine whether the stored change event is a current version by comparing a timestamp of the change event attributes of the stored change event to a timestamp of the change event attributes of the received change events in response to the received change event matching the stored change event; and

update the change event attributes of the stored change event in response the stored change event not being the current version.

12. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein displaying the plurality of change events from the query includes:

displaying a timeline view of the change event.
