  • Publication number: 20230102947
    Abstract: A client-side spreadsheet with client-side worksheets is constructed. The constructing includes structuring worksheet relationships between the client-side worksheets of the client-side spreadsheet in accordance with data object relationships of data objects of a server-side data structure. A determination is made that an operation has been selected for performing on data of at least one of the client-side worksheets. User input operative to initiate performance of the at least one of the client-side worksheets is detected. Implementation of the operation is initiated in accordance with the worksheet relationships and the data object relationships.

  • Patent number: 11556702
    Abstract: Example embodiments facilitate orchestrating changes of data made (and/or actions specified for execution) in a client-side program with changes of corresponding data made in one or more server-side data objects. An example method includes structuring one or more worksheet relationships between one or more worksheets of a client-side spreadsheet in accordance with one or more data object relationships of one or more data objects of a server-side data structure; determining that one or more operations have been selected for performing on data of one or more of the worksheets; detecting user input operative to initiate performance of the one or more operations; and initiating implementation of the one or more operations (e.g., CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations) in accordance with the one or more worksheet relationships and the one or more data object relationships (e.g., hierarchical relationships).

  • Patent number: 11443109
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a spreadsheet add-in that provides data entry validation. As described in more detail herein, the spreadsheet add-in integrates a spreadsheet-based table component with a remote web service. The spreadsheet add-in uses web service metadata to validate data that a user enters into the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet add-in provides immediate feedback on errors in an interactive fashion for the user. Furthermore, during a data upload process, any errors that are reported by the web service are displayed in context such that the user may quickly affect corrections.

  • Patent number: 9772987
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers working within desktop applications to create application-specific documents that integrate with web-based applications. Using a desktop integration framework, a developer can design documents having components that provide user interfaces to data associated with data models of the web-based applications. In one aspect, how a component looks and is configured can be dynamically driven at runtime based on metadata of its underlying data model.

  • Patent number: 9619453
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed that allow developers to place popup or list pickers as components of a document using a desktop integration framework. The popup or list pickers can be tied to model metadata allowing a pick list to be dynamically generated when the document is rendered. This allows workbook developers to leverage existing Model layer metadata combined with simple workbook configuration to easily create powerful Search and Select user interfaces for choosing values for ADF Table cells.

  • Publication number: 20070226032
    Abstract: An enhanced enterprise system integrates enterprise application functionality of a conventional enterprise system and collaboration functionality of a conventional collaboration system to provide a centralized project or team space for managing and capturing the collaborative activity that is inherent in the enterprise application processes. For example, the enhanced enterprise system allows a user to access an enterprise application object and to create a shared team space for the enterprise application object. This causes the enhanced enterprise system to provision a collaborative site or team space within the integrated collaboration system, and associate the team space to the enterprise application object through which the team space was provisioned.
