Abstract: A database system and method for linking a received contact to a company location. The received contact includes an external address and identifies a company. The database includes a set of multiple locations for the company. The external address is compared to the addresses stored in the database for the different company locations. If a match is found, the contact is tethered to the location with matching address. If no match is found, a new location is created and added to the set of locations for the company.

Abstract: An interpreter is modified to create a source tracking object for a data object received from a data source and to record information associated with the data source into the source tracking object. The interpreter is modified to create a copy of the data object for a tracking event in an application program, to create a flow tracking object for the tracking event, and to record information associated with the tracking event into the flow tracking object as the tracking event processes the copy of the data object. The interpreter is modified to create a sink tracking object for outputting the copy of the data object to a data sink and to record information associated with the data sink into the sink tracking object. The source tracking object, the flow tracking object, and the sink tracking object are output as dynamic analysis of dataflow in the application program.

The intermediate representation may comprise a version of the component instance data structure. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the component in memory.

Abstract: A computer-implemented digital steganography method includes providing a target dataset comprising a plurality of target data elements, providing a source dataset comprising a plurality of source data elements, and creating a grille dataset configured to map each of the target data elements in the target dataset with a corresponding source data element within the source dataset in accordance with a predefined extraction method.

Abstract: Various embodiments described or referenced herein are directed to different devices, methods, systems, and computer program products for testing a user interface component. A client-side operation for rendering the user interface component may be performed. The rendered user interface component may be stored as a user interface component test image simulating a visual presentation of the user interface component at a client machine. A user interface component expected image may be retrieved from a storage medium accessible to the server. The user interface component expected image may represent an expected visual presentation of the rendered user interface component. A determination may be made as to whether the user interface component test image matches the user interface component expected image. When the user interface component test image does not match the user interface component expected image, an indication of an error condition may be provided.

Abstract: Improved methods and systems are provided for asynchronously updating forecast rollup numbers. The asynchronousity is achieved by decoupling the source data change from further manipulations of the source data, for example in calculating and updating forecast rollup numbers by user role hierarchy, layer by layer. An event message queue implementation can be used for asynchronous processing. The process works by dequeuing a batch of event messages and then deduping and sorting them before applying forecast logic. Forecast numbers are updated based on target data and then rolled up the user role levels by aggregating forecast numbers for all subordinate forecast data entries.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for providing an augmented reality display of an image with record data. In one example, image data is received at one or more processors. A request message is sent requesting record data associated with the image data from one or more of a plurality of records stored in a database system. In some implementations, when the requested record data is received, a graphical display of the record data in combination with the image can be provided on a display device.
