SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DOCUMENT DRIVEN ACTIONS

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for tracking documents in a computing environment, including documents stored locally on computing devices. A monitoring module stored on a computing device may determine that a user is trying to open a document stored locally on the computing device and communicate a signature associated with the document to a document tracking system. A document tracking system may compare the signature with a set of stored signatures to see if the document corresponds to a document already being tracked. If the document is not being tracked already, the document tracking system may upload the document into the system, send a link to a newer version or determine one or more actions to be performed on the document based on the signature.

1. A method for document driven actions, comprising:
maintaining a set of signatures corresponding to documents tracked by a document tracking system and a set of associated actions, each action in the set of associated actions associated with a signature in the set of signatures; receiving, at the document tracking system, a document signature associated with a document from a client computing device; determining, at the document tracking system, that the document signature matches one of the set of signatures; determining, at the document tracking system, an action associated with the document signature; sending a message to a monitoring module including information about the action; and performing the action at the monitoring module.
