Abstract

A system and method for collaborative activity support is provided. A server establishes a collaboration place. The server can be configured to provide primary display data to each of a plurality of client computers associated with the authorized users simultaneously accessing the collaboration place to cause each of the plurality of clients to display the primary display data in a primary display of a corresponding collaboration place interface. Responsive to detecting a request from a first collaboration place interface to include a secondary display with the primary display in the corresponding collaboration place interface the server escalates a second collaboration place interface to include the secondary display as a sub-display of the primary display, wherein the collaboration place interface secondary display is configured to display collaboration place data associated with a different collaborative activity than the primary display prior to escalation.
