The granted patent US12045267B2 describes a cloud environment that incorporates an entity engine and an entity import wizard designed to enhance data management and workflow efficiency. The entity engine is responsible for modeling and storing various entities that can hold or classify data, while the entity import wizard facilitates the transfer of these entities to external systems. This process aims to streamline project management by reducing the number of variables and arguments required, thereby structuring the data utilized in workflows. The entity import wizard allows users to select entities from a list, exporting them to external systems as needed.

Additionally, the patent outlines several functionalities of the entity engine and import wizard, including the ability to transition entities and data between the engine and external systems, set pre-requirements, and authenticate access to the entities. The entities can be configured to define various properties, fields, or columns, and may include rich objects such as forms, documents, invoices, or records. The integration of the entity engine into platforms or external systems is also emphasized, enabling structured data use within workflows. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for managing data entities in a cloud environment, enhancing both accessibility and organization for users engaged in project workflows.
