What is meant by Collective editing?
The term "batch processing" refers to the simultaneous or batch-wise processing of multiple records or operations within an IT system. This method allows for more efficient handling by grouping similar tasks and processing them in one step, rather than dealing with each record individually. It is particularly useful in areas such as data processing, order processing, and document generation.
Typical software functions in the area of "batch processing":
- Batch Processing: Processing data in large groups or batches rather than individually to save time and resources.
- Status Tracking: Monitoring the progress of batch processing jobs and providing status updates for users.
- Error Reporting: Identifying and documenting errors or issues during batch processing to address them effectively.
- Configurable Workflows: Customizable process flows that can be created specifically for different types of batch processing tasks.
- Automated Notifications: Informing relevant users about the completion of batch processing or any errors encountered.
- Data Import and Export: Importing data from external sources for batch processing and exporting results in desired formats.
