Patent number: 10248916Abstract: Techniques are described for exporting organizational charts being presented inside a browser window. The system can present an export canvas that identifies the portion of the organizational chart that is to be exported. In some embodiments, the export canvas can be automatically adjusted to prevent collisions with tiles within the organizational chart. In some examples, the export canvas can be presented on a different layer than the organizational chart, thus allowing the export canvas to move around freely without disrupting the underlying organizational chart.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2014Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: SuccessFactors, Inc.Inventors: Kit Yue Zhang, David Hsia, Dominic Philip Haine

Patent number: 10169734Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically adjusting the layout of an organizational chart being presented inside a browser window. Adjusting the layout of the organization chart has certain advantages such as ensuring that the organizational chart can be displayed in the browser window with minimal scrolling. The direct reports of a manager can be presented as a matrix in the organizational chart when the manager is selected. In one example, the layout of the matrix can be a vertical vector or a two dimensional vector depending on the number of direct reports the manager has. In another example, the layout of the matrix can change depending on the space available within the browser window to display the matrix. In other examples, the organizational chart can also be scaled based on the screen resolution or screen size of the client device that is presenting the organizational chart.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: SUCCESSFACTORS, INC.Inventors: Kit Yue Zhang, David Hsia, Dominic Philip Haine, Scott McGhee
