1. A method for tracking work in a database environment, the method comprising:
- providing, by an on-demand database services system, a software application implemented on a cloud platform of the on-demand database services system to different users accessing the on-demand database services system via different user systems via a network;
generating, by the on-demand database services system, a plurality of work records in data storage of the on-demand database services system, wherein each work record has a unique identification label and is associated with code for new functionality or a bug fix that is written by a respective user of the different users and submitted via a respective user system of the different user systems for integration into the software application to provide one or more changes to the software application implemented on the cloud platform of the on-demand database services system;
receiving, by the on-demand database services system, a first indication from a first user of the different users that designates a first work record of the plurality of work records as a parent work record; and
receiving, by the on-demand database services system, a second indication from the first user that designates a second work record of the plurality of work records as a child work record, wherein the second work record is a child of the first work record.

9. A computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of instructions thereon for tracking work in a database environment, the instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
provide a software application implemented on a cloud platform to different users accessing the cloud platform via different user systems via a network; generate a plurality of work records in data storage, wherein each work record has a unique identification label and is associated with code for new functionality or a bug fix that is written by a respective user of the different users and submitted via a respective user system of the different user systems for integration into the software application to provide one or more changes to the software application implemented on the cloud platform; receive a first indication from a first user of the different users that designates a first work record of the plurality of work records as a parent work record; and receive a second indication from the first user that designates a second work record of the plurality of work records as a child work record, wherein the second work record is a child of the first work record. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus for tracking work in a database environment, the apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a storage device storing one or more stored sequences of instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to; provide a software application implemented on a cloud platform to different users accessing the cloud platform via different user systems via a network; generate a plurality of work records in data storage, wherein each work record has a unique identification label and is associated with code for new functionality or a bug fix that is written by a respective user of the different users and submitted via a respective user system of the different user systems for integration into the software application to provide one or more changes to the software application implemented on the cloud platform; receive a first indication from a first user of the different users that designates a first work record of the plurality of work records as a parent work record; and receive a second indication from the first user that designates a second work record of the plurality of work records as a child work record, wherein the second work record is a child of the first work record. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
