20110282706 | ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT TOOL - An organizational management tool that involves a limited yet expansive amount of interconnectable nodes within a unique network. A node in the context of the present invention is an apparatus such as a computer that communicates with a database server (DBS). The interaction between such nodes complies with a set of functional rules and topological considerations. An apparatus such as a computer that is not connected to the DBS and has an internet access referred to hereinafter as an external node. External nodes are connectable to the system of the invention usually through non-specific communications channels such as regular email connections. Any node can be defined by the administrator as being either senior or junior with respect to another node. This hierarchical feature together with other features dictates specific task flow properties and connectivity characteristics between nodes, as well as data access of nodes to main data base. Each node employs a special visual interface (VI) which updates nodes regarding statuses and processes in the system. | 11-17-2011 |
