Method and system for projectwise management of computer data objects

摘要

A method and system for managing data objects that are organized hierarchically according to type. The data objects are assigned to projects and subprojects independently of their type. At any one time, only one of the projects is "active": by default, identifiers of data objects assigned to the active project are displayed for user access and newly created data objects are assigned to the active project. One embodiment of the invention uses a database to mirror the existing hierarchy. Another embodiment keeps all the data objects of each project in a single respective folder. Identifiers of the data objects of the active project are made collectively accessible at a graphical user interface, along with a project history.
