Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to alert bubble management and provide a method, data processing system and computer program product for interactive alert bubbles for alert bubble management. In one embodiment of the invention, an interactive alert bubble can be provided for an alert management data processing system. The interactive alert bubble can include an alert bubble interface to the interactive alert bubble. An alert text field can be disposed in the interface and configured to provide a reference to an alert notification in the alert management data processing system. Additionally, a rating control can be disposed in the interface and configured to establish a rating for the alert notification responsive to a selection of the rating control.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to alert management in an activity-centric collaborative computing environment and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for activity thread integration of an alert log. In one embodiment of the invention, an alert log activity thread integration method can be provided. The method can include logging a reference to an alert for an activity in an activity thread, and, in response to the selection of the alert from within the activity thread, displaying the content of the alert. For instance, logging a reference to an alert for an activity in an activity thread can include creating a branch of the activity thread for inserting all alerts pertaining to the activity and inserting the reference to the alert in the created branch.

US Classification:

715700000, 340506000

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to alert management and provide a method, system and computer program product for adaptive alert management. In one embodiment of the invention, an adaptive alert management data processing system can include an alert server and multiple different alert monitors disposed in corresponding application hosts. Each of the alert monitors can be configured to establish a subscription to the alert server on behalf of at least one application view of an application issuing alerts. Finally, the system can include multiple different filter rules accessible by the alert server. Each of the filter rules can specify whether or not to suppress or display an alert received in the alert server. The system further can include a data store of ratings previously applied to an alert, an established predictive rating for a target user for a received alert, and predictive alert filter logic enabled to refine the predictive rating for the received alert based upon ratings applied by a plurality of application users to the received alert in the data store.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to object attribution modification and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for drag and drop attributes for objects in a graphical user interface. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for drag and drop object attributes in a GUI can be provided. The method can include presenting draggable object attributes in the GUI, dragging one of the draggable object attributes into a separate target object in the GUI, and applying a value for the draggable object attribute to the separate target object. In one aspect of the embodiment, each of the draggable object attributes in the GUI can be separate and independent from any particular object in the GUI. In another aspect of the embodiment, each of the draggable object attributes in the GUI can be draggable from the particular object to a target object in the GUI.
