Abstract: A system and method for display of graphical components on a user interface. Multiple components may be displayed on a graphical user interface an active dashboard. Each component is a graphical representation of a report generated from plurality of data fields stored in objects on a database. At least some of the reports are generated from different data models. The displayed components are filtered on the basis of at least one data field that is a common field among the different data models.

Abstract: A user can define a filter to applied be to one or more datasets. The filter includes a specification of a field to filter. Upon applying the filter to a dataset, if the specified field cannot be found in the dataset, a field in the dataset is selected as a default field to filter. Selecting what field in the dataset should be the default field is based on evaluating a set of rules. The default field is then filtered according to the filter criteria.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for the transient storage of user interface configurations. These mechanisms and methods for the transient storage of user interface configurations can provide accessibility of user interface configurations prior to such user interface configurations being saved by the respective author. The ability to provide accessibility of user interface configurations prior to such user interface configurations being saved by the respective author can enable the user interface configurations to be used in many different ways even before they are saved, such as enabling the re-use of a user interface configuration across multiple different user interfaces, enabling multiple different users to apply further configurations to the user interface, enabling future access to the user interface configuration, etc.
