Method for Multi Entity Scheduling Object Visibility and Control
A method for enabling a non-authoring entity viewing access to view the data associated with authored, yet un-submitted, scheduling objects comprising of the identification of an entity, or the creation and selection of an entity code; and updating scheduling object. Some embodiments of the invention not only enable the ability of an entity to view the scheduling object, but also enable the selected non-authoring entity to modify the scheduling object. An embodiment of the invention is typically paired with or a part of a larger Transaction Management System (TMS).
1 . A method for enabling non-authoring entities of scheduling objects the ability to view scheduling objects before they are submitted for approval or denial comprising the steps of;
identifying a non-authoring entity,
updating the scheduling object,
facilitating non-authoring entities to view scheduling objects.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein, the method of identifying a non-authority entity utilizes a unique entity code.
3 . The method of claim 2 wherein an entity code is identified within a registry maintained by a regulatory entity or industry standards board.
4 . The method of claim 2 wherein an entity code can be newly created to associate with an non-authoring entity.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein if a set of characteristics on a scheduling object qualify, visibility is permitted.
6 . The method of claim 5 wherein multiple scheduling objects are associated with an entity code at one time.
7 . The method of claim 5 wherein a scheduling object is an electronic tag.
8 . The method of claim 5 wherein a scheduling object is a transmission service reservation.
9 . The method of claim 5 wherein a scheduling object is a gas transmission notification.
10 . A method for enabling non-authoring entities of scheduling objects the ability to view and attain the authority to modify scheduling objects comprising the steps of;
identifying a non-authoring entity,
updating the scheduling object,
facilitating non-authoring entities to view scheduling objects.
11 . The method of claim 10 wherein, the method of identifying a non-authority entity utilizes a unique entity code.
12 . The method of claim 11 wherein an entity code is identified within a registry maintained by a regulatory entity or industry standards board.
13 . The method of claim 11 wherein an entity code can be newly created to associate with an non-authoring entity.
14 . The method of claim 11 wherein if a set of characteristics on a scheduling object qualify, visibility and data modification are permitted.
15 . The method of claim 14 wherein multiple scheduling objects are associated with an entity code at one time.
16 . The method of claim 14 wherein a scheduling object is an electronic tag.
17 . The method of claim 14 wherein a scheduling object is a transmission service reservation.
18 . The method of claim 14 wherein a scheduling object is a gas transmission notification.
