Abstract: A knowledge graph stores connections among tables in a data set and queries used to extract information from the data set. The queries may be used to generate reports. The knowledge graph indicates which of the tables each query uses and indicates which of the queries is used by each table. The knowledge graph may also store schema for the tables and information describing the tables and the queries. A graph builder may generate the knowledge graph by crawling the data set and the queries and by using a query parser to determine the tables each query uses. The graph builder may automatically update the knowledge graph. The graph builder may detect data quality issues in a table of the data set. The graph builder may query the knowledge graph for the queries that use the table. The graph builder may associate notifications with the queries.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns automatically generating data retrieval queries. A system may include data residing on a first data store and a knowledge graph residing on a second data store. The knowledge graph may include a semantic model of the data. The knowledge graph may be structured differently than the data and may be stored in a format different from the data. The system may include a query builder that receives one or more inputs through a user interface. The user interface may be based in part on the knowledge graph. The one or more inputs may indicate a subset of the data. The query builder may retrieve metadata from the knowledge graph based on the one or more inputs. The query builder may then generate a query for retrieving the subset of the data using the one or more inputs and the metadata retrieved from the knowledge graph.

Abstract: A current user lifecycle phase and a desired outcome for a user for a current user lifecycle phase are identified.

Abstract: A method and system for providing educational content for use in a computing device to facilitate the training of users in new features across applications is disclosed. A package is delivered to a first application that includes a deep link to a specific feature available in a second application. When a triggering event occurs, the user may be invited to explore or use the feature and/or be automatically directed to the feature in the second application.

Abstract: A system activates an application on a computing device based on a prior activation of an isolated counterpart application on the computing device. An application that is restricted from sharing a license with a counterpart application locally on the computing device is enabled to instead communicate with an application license manager to manage license data corresponding to the counterpart application. For example, when a license is obtained at the computing device for a container application, the application license manager may update license data in association with a native application so that a counterpart license can be obtained automatically by the native application, and vice versa. Thus, once a user has responded to an activation prompt for either one of the container application or the native application, whichever application the user has not manually activated will be automatically activated at the computing device based on communications with the application license manager.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide a targeted messaging service that interfaces with a targeted messaging client on a device. The targeted messaging service provides a user-specific package to the client that specifies which native controls to invoke in response to which triggering events, as well as the assets to deploy in the controls. The targeted messaging client, which runs in the context of the native application it is supporting, receives the package from the service and monitors for the events that trigger targeted messages. A targeted control is formed by an existing native control combined with a specific asset provided in the package. When a given event occurs, the targeted messaging client merges the asset with the native control and displays the resulting targeted control in a user interface to the application.

Abstract: Data is stored that defines a user lifecycle phase and a desired outcome for the user lifecycle phase. Metrics are computed for evaluating the individual effectiveness of each of the messages in a set of messages. Personalization rules can be generated for a particular user that are based on the computed metrics and attributes associated with the particular user. The personalization rules are rules for selecting messages from the set of messages for presentation to the particular user. The personalization rules can be provided to a computing device associated with the particular user. The computing device can utilize the personalization rules to select a message from the set of messages and present the selected message to the user.

Abstract: A current user lifecycle phase and a desired outcome for a user for a current user lifecycle phase are identified. Messages eligible to be shown to the user are identified based upon the current user lifecycle phase for the user. From the eligible messages, particular messages can be selected for delivery to the user based upon one or more governance rules, user attributes, user activity, seasonality, and/or the desired outcome for the current user lifecycle phase for the user. The selected messages can then be shown to the user. In this manner, relevant messages can be presented to the relevant users at a relevant time.

Abstract: A technique is described for efficiently detecting a wireless beacon signal emitted from a beacon-emitting mechanism, and thereby reducing consumption of power. The technique operates by selectively increasing detection activity when a detection event is likely to occur, and decreasing it otherwise. The technique leverages calendar information as one factor in determining when a detection event is likely to occur. The technique can also vary the detection activity based on location information (identifying the location of a user) and/or motion information (describing the motion of the user).

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to cross-application service-driven dynamic contextual messages. In one aspect, content is retrieved from a server computing device. The content may include at least one rule and at least one contextual message. The content retrieved from the server computing device may be stored. A dynamic background application may detect an action associated with a client application. In response to detecting the action associated with the client application, a contextual message may be identified from the at least one contextual message based on a rule from the at least one rule. The dynamic background application may display the identified contextual message within the client application.
