Abstract
A system and method for selectively handling data. The method includes determining data-handling instructions for a piece of data, such as a file. One or more tasks associated with the file are automatically performed in accordance with the data-handling instructions in response to activation of the data-handling instructions via the file or via a representation thereof. In certain embodiments, the data-handling instructions include workflow instructions. An icon represents a data-handling system interface that is associated with the data-handling instructions. The data-handling system facilitates implementing the data-handling instructions. The icon is selected via the file by placing a graphical representation of the file on the icon representing the data-handling system, thereby activating the data-handling instructions. In an illustrative embodiment, the workflow instructions include delivering the file to a predetermined computer, storing the file in a particular location in a directory structure, retrieving the file or deleting the file at a predetermined time, and so on.
