Abstract:

A browser extension relates to a Web application such as QuickBooks Online that manages data records, for example, data records about sales transactions. The extension allows a user to store, at a different Web server or other repository, supplemental records relating to particular data records of the Web application; for example, the user, when displaying a sales-transaction data record in the Web application's display window, could attach and/or view a scanned copy of the physical invoice document for the transaction, even if the Web application does not provide that capability natively. When the user is displaying data from the Web application's data record concerning that sales transaction, the browser extension displays, in an auxiliary display area, information about the supplemental records for that transaction's data record, such as (for example) the number of scanned documents “attached” to that data record, and allows the user to view copies of documents on the screen.
