TECHNICAL FIELD

Embodiments consistent with the present disclosure include systems and methods for collaborative work systems. The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented using a combination of conventional hardware and software as well as specialized hardware and software, such as a machine constructed and/or programmed specifically for performing functions associated with the disclosed method steps. Consistent with other disclosed embodiments, non-transitory computer-readable storage media may store program instructions, which may be executable by at least one processing device and perform any of the steps and/or methods described herein.

BACKGROUND

Operation of modern enterprises can be complicated and time consuming. In many cases, managing the operation of a single project requires integration of several employees, departments, and other resources of the entity. To manage the challenging operation, project management software applications may be used. Such software applications allow a user to organize, plan, and manage resources by providing project-related information in order to optimize the time and resources spent on each project. It would be useful to improve these software applications to increase operation management efficiency.

SUMMARY

A system for identifying data types in customized headings, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: display a table having at least one customizable row heading or column heading; receive an insertion of a customized name for the at least one customizable row heading or column heading; perform a lookup of the inserted customized name to identify a data type associated with the inserted customized name; display, based on the identified data type, selectable options for values for an associated cell of the at least one customizable row heading or column heading; enable selection of at least one option of the selectable options; and associate the selected option with the associated cell in at least one row or column associated with the at least one customizable row heading or column heading.

A system for generating a hybrid table template pre-populated with data pulled from preexisting tables, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: store a customized hybrid table-template definition, wherein the hybrid table-template definition includes a table format and at least one pre-population rule linking at least one cell of the hybrid table template with at least one cell of a preexisting table populated with data; receive a request to generate a new table using the hybrid table template definition; and following receipt of the request, generate the new table, wherein generating includes following a link to access real-time cell data from the preexisting table, and migrating the real-time cell data to the new table.

A system for representing data via a multi-structured table, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: maintain a main table having a first structure and containing a plurality of rows; receive a first electronic request for establishment of a first sub-table associated with the main table, wherein the electronic request includes column heading definitions and wherein the column heading definitions constitute a second structure; store the second structure in memory as a default sub-table structure; associate the first sub-table with a first row in the main table; receive a second electronic request for association of a second sub-table with a second row of the main table; perform a lookup of the default sub-table structure following receipt of the second electronic request; apply the default sub-table structure to the second sub-table; and receive a change to a structure of the second sub-table, and upon receipt of the change, cause a corresponding change to occur in the first sub-table and the default sub-table structure.

A system for deconstructing an integrated web of structural components and data, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: maintain the integrated web of the structural components and the data, wherein the structural components include customized tables for maintaining the data, automations for acting on the data in the customized tables, and dashboards for visualizing the data; receive instructions to alter elements of at least some of the structural components; update the integrated web to comport with the instructions; receive a command to generate a copy of the structural components of the integrated web without the data; and in response to the command, output the copy of the structural components in a template format that permits the copy to be adopted for secondary use.
