Abstract: A collaboration database service may allow users to create, edit, and share collaborative content on custom databases, and may also integrate and interoperate with various productivity applications. For example, a collaboration database engine of the service may detect creation or modification of a table through an application associated with the service. In response to a request to add a choice type column to the table, the engine may automatically select, provide, and enable modification of a set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to choices. The engine may then provide the choice type column for display within the table such that each cell of the choice type column is automatically and/or manually populated with at least one of the choices. The choice may be represented by a symbol and/or associated text value from the modified set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to the choice.

Abstract: A device may receive registration information for a toll-free data campaign. The toll-free data campaign may allow a content provider to pay costs of network data usage by user devices that access content associated with the toll-free data campaign. The device may identify a resource identifier included in the registration information. The resource identifier may identify the content associated with the toll-free data campaign. The device may apply a validation rule to the resource identifier. The device may determine whether the resource identifiers is associated with an error based on applying the validation rule. The device may selectively provide information that identifies the error based on determining whether the resource identifier is associated with the error.

Abstract: Smart cards are used to provide a consolidated summary of tabular data from a collaboration database. Card layouts may be responsive to table schema and present data consistently across different devices and platforms. Cards may have pre-set layouts designed to present content in a user-friendly manner enhancing user experience and enabling interactivity. Card layouts may be determined by a set of pre-defined rules, which may be based on a type of data in a first column of an underlying table and types of data in other columns (such as images, communications, and other forms of rich data).

Abstract: A collaboration database service allows end users to create and collaborate on custom databases as any other type of productivity content (presentations, word processing documents, spreadsheets, etc.). Providing a more data centric experience rather than formatting centric may allow for a malleable experience. The custom entities the user defines may indicate how to best display the data on various devices, what rules should be enforced, and what actions need to be taken on behalf of the user. A collaboration database service according to embodiments may not only provide easy creation and sharing of various databases across devices, but also integrate and interoperate with various productivity application workloads. Each productivity application may play a unique role, and those individual strengths may be highlighted in an example service to bring the system together.

Abstract: An application builder tool creates business applications from user provided business descriptions. The application builder is customized using metadata and the metadata may be extended. The metadata provides a set of business terms to the user and the information required to generate an application from those terms. The user either selects terms from the list or enters new business terms to describe the business problem they want the application to automate. The application builder analyzes the terms the user provides and uses the metadata associated with those terms to select, generate and combine business application components. The result is a functioning business application.
