Abstract: The technology disclosed preserves the tenant specificity and user specificity of the tenant data by associating user IDs to complementary special IDs referred to as the integration user(s). In particular, it combines the traceability of user actions, the integration of security models and the flexibility of a service ID into one integration user(s).

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for causing an entity to automatically follow other entities in an online social network. Location information of an entity can be received, and an automatic follow rule applicable to the entity can be determined. The automatic follow rule may cause the entity to follow other entities when one or more conditions including a designated spatial proximity of the entity to the other entities is satisfied. When it is determined that one or more conditions is satisfied, data associated with the entity can be updated to indicate that the first entity follows the other entities. In some implementations, when the entity is associated with a temporal follow status and a trigger event specified by the automatic follow rule is satisfied, data associated with the entity can be updated to indicate that the entity does not follow the other entities.

Abstract: In embodiments there are provided techniques for flexibly displaying information into one or more columns. One technique includes the user interface (UI) receiving from an end user a selection of display criteria configured by an administrative user. Data from a dataset may be selected and/or ordered for displaying according to the criterion selected by the end user. Alternative embodiments may provide displaying positive and negative data, sorting, and fixed locations.

Abstract: An in-browser proxy enables an application in a frame to make a cross domain request. The proxy executes within the browser, which has a first domain. The browser provides a frame in which a client application executes, which has a second domain. The request from the client application is a request for data access to the external domain. The proxy identifies a registration of the client application, and forwards the request to the external domain. The proxy receives a response to the request and provides the response back to the client application within the frame.

Abstract: A search index stored within the system having a plurality of individual search index files having information stored therein. At least one of the individual search index files constitutes a term dictionary or a term index type file having internal structure that allows a portion of the individual search index file to be updated, encrypted, and/or decrypted without affecting the internal structure of the individual search index file. A file input/output (IO) layer encrypts the information being written into the individual search index file and to decrypt the information being read from the individual search index file. The file TO layer encrypts and decrypts only a portion of the individual search index file in reply to an operation without requiring decryption or encryption of the individual search index file in its entirety. A query interface executes the operation against the information stored in the memory in its decrypted form.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing customized drop-down menus in user interface displays. Drop-down menus include one or more selection options and a table having multiple fields. Drop-down menu items are particularly useful for assisting a user with assigning information synchronized into a target database from one database system, such as an Outlook file, to objects in the target database system, such as a multi-tenant database system as well as providing suggestions to the user from search results when they may want to choose one of those results or perform a different action altogether.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for creating and managing a product catalog including expanded product metadata in a multitenant computing environment. The method includes creating a new store and mapping it to a cloud service provider. A catalog is then created and mapped to the store. Catalog categories are then created and mapped to the catalog. A product is then created and mapped to the categories. A product family is then created, followed by the creation of a product bundle. The product bundle is presented to consumers in a web based interactive shopping experience hosted by the cloud based service provider.

Abstract: The technology disclosed describes systems and methods for implementing global profiling to track resource usage and performance for multiple threads across multiple servers for a cloud-based system.

Abstract: Data category visibility are defined at the permission set and profile levels so that users who may not be assigned a role can have the data filtered by data category access rules. In an embodiment, data is filtered based on products or projects so that the products or project can be used as a data category group, once the product or project as been assigned to the user, the user may be granted access, via a data category visibility in a permission set, regardless of the user's role or position in the user hierarchy.

Abstract: A system selectively dequeues journal requests instead of dequeuing on a first come, first served basis. A database system detects that a request for access from a client is a journal batch, which includes multiple journal requests. The system queues the journal batch in a queue with other journal batches for processing. The system selectively dequeues journal requests from the journal batch queue, including selecting at least one journal request from multiple different journal batches. Thus, the journal requests do not conflict for shared resources, and the system can improve parallelism in processing the journal batches.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for providing a persistent feeder component in a user interface to display in near real-time feed items when received in information feeds of online social networks. The feed items can come from feeds of multiple online social networks to be displayed in a single feeder component, and the feeder component may be configured to display proximate to each feed item a graphical indicator identifying the information feed of the feed item. The feeder component can be displayed in one of multiple display formats. The feeder component may also be configured to track activity on an online social network and display a notification when activity on the online social network has met one or more milestones determined by the user.
