International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing visual context in dataflows. A computing device may display a dataflow representation associated with a transformative process, receive selection of an individual node of the dataflow representation, and determine a visual context associated with the individual node based on a data transformation step associated with the individual node. Further, the computing device may determine a plurality of nodes associated with the visual context, and apply a graphical effect to the individual node and the plurality of nodes, the graphical effect modifying an attribute of the individual node and the plurality of nodes.

International Classification:

G06F 16/248
G06F 16/2457

Abstract:

A method for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) of a software application connected to a server, the software application comprising at least a database, is provided. The method receives, at the server, user input comprising a search; generates, at the server, a set of search results based on the search, the set of search results being associated with entities of the software application, each of the entities comprising a respective database object containing predefined categories of data, the database comprising at least the database object; determines a priority order of the search results, based on user interaction history with the entities; and presents, via the GUI, the search results according to the priority order.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

System, method, and computer product embodiments are described for querying a database using natural language queries (NLQ) to produce actionable results in an answer card. The method allows a user to take further action with the answer card by editing the card contents, manipulating the way data is displayed, or querying the answer results for more details of the data. By the method, the user may continue exploration of the data, use the results to collaborate with others, or build a story from the data in a presentation format, such as a dashboard, while maintaining access to the real-time data of the database through the answer card. System and computer product embodiments implement the method.

G06F 3/0484
G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

System, method, and computer product embodiments for proving a graphical user interface (GUI) for a GUI object are described. A computing device provides, within the GUI, a polymorphic lookup interface for retrieving a plurality of entity instances to relate to the GUI object. The computing device provides a plurality of types of entities within the polymorphic lookup interface. A type of entity selected from the plurality of types limits the possible entity instances that may be returned. Through the polymorphic lookup interface, the computing device enables a user to select two or more entity instances to relate to the GUI object. Each of the selected entity instances may be selected from a plurality of possible entity instances that are returned, where each possible entity instance is a same type of entity.

US Classification:

715739

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for presenting data on a mobile device in communication with an on-demand database system. In some implementations, a mobile device receives information identifying one or more data objects stored in the on-demand database system based on captured behavioral data for a user of the mobile device. The captured behavioral data may be based on interactions with the one or more data objects. The mobile device provides the information for display in a user interface for a mobile application. The mobile device provides for display a subset of a plurality of information items in the user interface, the plurality of information items provided from the on-demand database system, the subset determined based on the identified one or more data objects and based on user input received via the user interface. In some implementations, the user input comprises a selected type of data object.

G06N 99/00

US Classification:

706 12, 707722

Abstract:

Improved integrated search techniques. A request for performance of a search for objects is received within a multi-tenant database environment having a plurality of tenants each having individual tenant information. A query is generated in response to the request. The query is specialized based on tenant information corresponding to a tenant from which the request originates. The tenant information is retrieved from the multi-tenant database environment. The query is performed on information stored in the multi-tenant database environment. Results of the query are presented to a user in a graphical user interface.
