Data object access system and method using dedicated task object
First Claim
1. A task management system for providing a graphically displayable worklist having one or more rows of work items, one or more of the work items each representing one or more data rows to be worked from one or more application data tables that are not a task object table of the task management system, the task management system comprising:
- a storage medium, wherein a set of executable code is embodied on the storage medium; and
a processor, wherein the processor executes the set of executable code, effectuating the operation of the following elements;
a task database having at least one task object;
a first dedicated task object in said task database, said first dedicated task object having a second metadata associated therewith for graphically displaying information related to said first dedicated task object, wherein the first dedicated task object is configured to access an application data object residing in an application data table;
a first view object having a first set of instructions for determining a first plurality of data rows of the one or more application data tables and a second set of instructions for creating a first association between each data row of said first plurality of data rows and said first dedicated task object;
a display generator for using said second metadata in initiating generation of display data representing a display image presenting a worklist, said worklist having a first one or more rows of application data table work items, each of said first one or more rows of application data table work items representing at least one data row of said first plurality of data rows; and
a second dedicated task object in said task database, said dedicated task object having a third metadata associated therewith for graphically displaying information related to said second dedicated task object, wherein said first view object has a third set of instructions for determining a second plurality of data rows of the one or more application data tables and fourth set of instructions for creating a second association between each data row of said second plurality of data rows and said second dedicated task object.

Abstract
A task management system for providing a graphically displayable worklist having one or more rows of work items, one or more of the work items each representing one or more data rows to be worked from one or more application data tables that are not a task object table of the task management system, the task management system comprising a task database having at least one task object, a first dedicated task object in said task database, said first dedicated task object having a second metadata associated therewith for graphically displaying information related to said first dedicated task object, a first view object having a first set of instructions for determining a first plurality of data rows of the one or more application data tables and a second set of instructions for creating a first association between each data row of said first plurality of data rows and said first dedicated task object, and a display generator for using said second metadata in initiating generation of display data representing a display image presenting a worklist, said worklist having a first one or more rows of application data table work items, each of said first one or more rows of application data table work items representing at least one data row of said first plurality of data rows.

13. A computer-implemented method of providing a displayable worklist having one or more rows of work items, the method comprising:
executing a set of executable code stored in a storage medium with a processor, wherein when the set of executable code is executed, the following steps are effectuated; generating a first dedicated task object in a task database of a task management system, said first dedicated task object having associated therewith a first metadata for generating a display image of information related to said first dedicated task object, wherein the first dedicated task object is configured to access an application data object residing in an application data table; determining a first desired set of application data objects to be worked from one or more application data tables other than a task object table of said task management system; associating each data object of said first desired set with said first dedicated task object; using said first metadata in initiating generation of data representing a display image, said display image including a worklist having a first plurality of rows, each of said first plurality of rows representing a different one of said first desired set of application data objects; generating a second dedicated task object in said task database, said second dedicated task object having a second metadata associated therewith for generating a display image of information related to said second dedicated task object; determining a second desired set of application data objects to be worked from said one or more application data tables; and associating each data object of said second desired set with said second dedicated task object wherein said display image further comprises a second plurality of rows, each of said second plurality of rows representing at least one data row of said second desired set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A machine readable medium containing computer executable instructions implementing a method of providing a displayable worklist having one or more rows of work items, comprising:
-
a first set of instruction for generating a first dedicated task object in a task database of a task management system, said first dedicated task object having associated therewith a first metadata for generating a display image of information related to said first dedicated task object, wherein the first dedicated task object is configured to access an application data object residing in an application data table; a second set of instruction for determining a first desired set of application data objects to be worked from one or more application data tables other than a task object table of said task management system; a third set of instruction for associating each data object of said first desired set with said first dedicated task object; a fourth set of instructions for using said first metadata in initiating generation of data representing a display image, said display image including a worklist having a first plurality of rows, each of said first plurality of rows representing a different one of said first desired set of application data objects; a fifth set of instructions for generating a second dedicated task object in said task database, said second dedicated task object having a second metadata associated therewith for generating a display image of information related to said second dedicated task object; a sixth set of instructions for determining a second desired set of application data objects to be worked from said one or more application data tables; and a seventh set of instructions for associating each data object of said second desired set with said second dedicated task object wherein said display image further comprises a second plurality of rows, each of said second plurality of rows representing at least one data row of said second desired set.
