  • Patent number: 11966573
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for temporarily hiding user interface (“UI”) elements, such as application windows or tabs. A request can be received to hide a UI element for a specified period of time. When such a request is received, the UI element is hidden and an identifier corresponding to the UI element is moved from a first area of a taskbar to a second area of the taskbar. The application presenting the UI element can be configured for reduced consumption of computing resources while the UI element is hidden. Additionally, notifications associated with the UI element can be disabled while the UI element is hidden. When the specified period of time to hide the UI element has elapsed, the UI element is once again displayed. Additionally, the identifier corresponding to the UI element is moved from the second area of the taskbar back to the first area of the taskbar.

  • Patent number: 11797161
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating sequential supporting answer reports, a computing device implements a report system to receive a user input defining a question with respect to a visual representation of analytics data rendered in a user interface. The report system determines a final answer to the question by processing a semantic representation of the question using a machine learning model. A sequence of reports is generated and the sequence defines an order of progression from a first supporting answer to the final answer. Each report of the sequence of reports includes a visual representation of a supporting answer to the question. The report system displays a dashboard in the user interface including a first report of the sequence of reports, the first report depicting a visual representation of the first supporting answer to the question.
