Publication number: 20230169266Abstract: Disclosed are database systems, methods, systems, and computer program products for providing tabular data in a social network feed. In some implementations, a server of a database system stores, in a database, social network feed data comprising a plurality of feed items as data objects. The server also stores, in a database, tabular data as data objects. The server shares the social network feed data and the tabular data in a social network feed displayable to present the feed items and the tabular data in a user interface, the tabular data being presentable in the user interface in a tabular format. The user interface may receive shareable user commentary regarding the tabular data. The stored tabular data may be editable by users of the database system. The social network feed may be updated to comprise notifications of edits to the tabular data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Sonali Agrawal, Ryan Spraetz, Cheryl Porro

Patent number: 11615376Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided techniques for managing functionality changes of a database platform of a service provider. The techniques facilitate implementing changes to the database platform while minimizing work flow reductions to users of the database platform. To that end, one embodiment of the present invention delays implementation of the changes for a duration of time to provide users of the database platform an opportunity to adjust behavioral interaction with the database platform. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, users may implement the functional changes to determine any adverse impact on work flow, before the functional changes become permanent. In another embodiment, the users may be afforded an opportunity to selectively enable and disable the functionality changes before the duration of time expires.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Eric D.
