US Patent 11409820 Workflow relationship management and contextualization

Described herein are methods and system for electronic workflow management having a central server that periodically scans data accessible to multiple computers and data interacted with by different users to generate a nodal data structure comprising of interrelated nodes where each node corresponds to a workflow component, such as files, messages, tasks, and the like. The server then executes various analytical protocols to identify and link/merge nodes corresponding to related content. The server then allows a user to customize graphical user interfaces where the server arranges the content of each graphical user interface based on their corresponding relationships within the nodal data structure.
