A system and method of tracking action items in an enterprise data processing environment. The method includes receiving, by a client from a server, an action item that includes a location. The method further includes performing a check-in, by the client, at the location related to the action item. The method further includes performing a check-out, by the client, related to the action item. The method further includes changing, by the client, the status of the action item. In this manner, a database of action items and statuses may be developed for more effective business collaboration and business management. |

1. A computer-implemented method of tracking action items in an enterprise data processing environment, comprising:
creating, by a server computer as directed by a user, an action item, wherein the action item is a data record indicating a plan to perform a certain business-related action in a future time frame, wherein the action item is a step in a larger business process, wherein once the action item has been performed, other actions in the larger business process are performed, wherein the action item includes a location, wherein the action item is one of a plurality of action items stored by the server computer, wherein the action item is associated with a business object stored by the server computer, wherein the business object is a code construct that corresponds to a thing in an actual business, wherein the business object includes data that describes the business object and a method that makes decisions based on the data, wherein the data includes instance variables, properties, and associations with other business objects, and wherein the action item is associated with the user prior to a check-in at the location; receiving, by a client computer from the server computer, the action item; determining, by the client computer, that the client computer is at the location related to the action item, wherein determining that the client computer is at the location corresponds to the check-in, and wherein the check-in indicates that the user is at the location; determining, by the client computer, that the client computer is no longer at the location, wherein determining that the client computer is no longer at the check-in corresponds to a check-out; changing, by the client computer, a status of the action item; sending, by the server computer to the client computer, a result list that includes a plurality of follow-up action items that follow the action item in the larger business process; receiving, by the server computer, a selection of a selected follow-up action item from the plurality of follow-up action items in the result list; and receiving, by the server computer, an assignment that assigns the selected follow-up action item to one of a plurality of users, wherein the client computer includes a wireless local area network card that connects to a wireless hotspot, wherein the server computer determines the location of the client computer according to a hotspot location of the wireless hotspot. |
