Abstract

The content management application is an intranet application which provides a process for implementing changes to an internet website of a company by providing the company the ability to define and enforce a common style of page layout. The application can be accessed via a desktop browser and multiple users may access the application for multiple reasons at the same time. The application also dynamically generates new page designs and new component design with various people assigned to groups or teams enabling the continuous creation and processing of content. Once the content is created and reviewed, it is then launched onto the company's internet site for viewing by the internet users accessing the company's web page.

Claims (36)

1. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory communicating with a processor for facilitating changes to webpage content on a Internet server,

said memory having instructions comprising a workflow application stored thereon that, in response to execution by said processor, cause said processor to perform operations comprising:

facilitating, by said processor via said workflow application, removal of a portion of said webpage content to create removed webpage content, wherein said webpage content is provided in said workflow application, and wherein said webpage content is launched to said internet server; and

maintaining, by said processor, said removed webpage content for subsequent audit, wherein said removed webpage content includes audit information relating to a workflow process associated with said workflow application.

2. The system of claim 1 , further causing said processor to perform operations comprising:

rejecting said webpage content;

returning said rejected webpage content to said workflow application for revision; revising said webpage content; and

returning said revised webpage content to said workflow application for review.

3. The system of claim 1 , further causing said processor to perform operations comprising allowing an administrator to at least one of identify, create, assign and modify workflow groups.

7. The system of claim 1 , further causing said processor to perform operations comprising launching said webpage content by converting XML to HTML, wherein said webpage content is XML.

8. The system of claim 1 , further causing said processor to perform operations comprising defining content modification privileges for a cell of said webpage content.

9. The system of claim 1 , further causing said processor to perform operations comprising allowing a reviewer to interface with said workflow application.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said reviewer rejects said webpage content and returns said rejected webpage content to said workflow application for revision by at least one of: said author and said reviewer.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein said reviewer is at least one of: said author, an artist, a designer, an administrator, a manager, an employee, and a contractor.

facilitating, by a computer-based system for facilitating changes to webpage content on a internet server and via a workflow application, removal of a portion of said webpage content to create removed webpage content, wherein said webpage content is provided in said workflow application, and wherein said webpage content is launched to said internet server; and

maintaining, by said computer-based system, said removed webpage content for subsequent audit, wherein said removed webpage content includes audit information relating to a workflow process associated with said workflow application.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

rejecting said webpage content;

returning said rejected webpage content to said workflow application for revision; revising said webpage content; and

returning said revised webpage content to said workflow application for review.

17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising updating said webpage content with at least one of a copyright, date stamp, and a copyright creator.

18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising monitoring said webpage content, wherein said webpage content is removed from said internet server following expiration of a pre-determined time period.

19. The method of claim 13 , further comprising interfacing a reviewer with said workflow application, wherein a reviewer is at least one of: an author, an artist, a designer, an administrator, a manager, an employee, and a contractor.

20. An article of manufacture including a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for facilitating changes to webpage content on a internet server, cause said computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

facilitating, by said computer-based system and via a workflow application, removal of a portion of said webpage content to create removed webpage content, wherein said webpage content is provided in said workflow application, and wherein said webpage content is launched to said internet server; and
