Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for displaying pertinent data, using augmented reality, to supplement information in images acquired by an imaging device of a mobile communication device. The images can be analyzed to find one or more matched objects, and recognition can be performed on the matched objects to recognize target components. It can be determined whether the recognized target components match one or more known patterns. Based on the known patterns pertinent data pertaining to the known patterns can be retrieved from one or more data sources, and displayed at a display using augmented reality to supplement information in the images acquired by the imaging device.
Abstract: Content deployment systems and methods are provided for continuously integrating and deploying selected content items from a plurality of content sources into a specific release as part of the specific release. For example, a first content source stores a plurality of first content items for potential inclusion in the specific release. A manifest record for the specific release specifies release items, by API name, that are allowed to be part of the specific release. A proxy can periodically retrieve selected ones of the first content items that are specified in the manifest record, and push them to a bulk API of a content publishing engine. Any content items that are not specified in the manifest record are rejected by the proxy. A processor of the content publishing engine can allow for continuous integration of the selected ones of the first content items into the specific release.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for capturing information regarding an interaction to a database. A client device receives an indication of an interaction with the client device that satisfies a user-defined trigger. A user interface is provided to the client device having input controls capable of receiving one or more information items. The one or more information items include values for a first data field regarding a user-selected expression and a second data field regarding at least one entity associated with the interaction. The one or more information items may generate a custom object that is stored in a database of the on-demand database service. A profile object for the at least one entity may be generated based on an aggregation of the stored one or more items with attributes of the at least one entity.
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving a code change at a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CICD) server system, generating a unique change identifier, generating a new code build which includes the code change, testing the generated new code build by performing a code trace for phase of testing or production environment based on at least one predetermined testing parameter that includes a predetermined trace time for the code change of the generated change identifier, and displaying test results for the change identifier for the phase of testing or production environment to visually highlight a pass or failure of the testing for the code change based on the predetermined testing parameter for the predetermined trace time.
Abstract: An interaction manager assigns messages posted on a social media website to a support case in a database system. A support agent may tag a message posted by a user for directing to the support case. The interaction manger assigns the tagged message to the support case and activates a timer to track a time period. During the time period, the interaction manager assigns other messages posted by the same user to the support case. The interaction manager may reset the time period whenever the support agent replies to one of the messages posted by the user or the support agent tags another one of the user messages for directing to the support case. The interaction manager reduces the burden of having to manually review and manage every message posted on the social media website.
Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, apparatus, methods and storage media for automated device management, and more specifically, for detecting exceptions in devices and facilitating workflows to resolve the exceptions. In one innovative aspect, a database system is configurable to maintain at least one knowledge database storing a plurality of prescriptions, each prescription defining a respective action-oriented workflow for one or more exceptions. The system is further configurable to receive device data associated with the devices, analyze the received device data, and detect occurrences of exceptions based on the analysis. The system is further configurable to determine whether the knowledge base includes a prescription for a detected exception, and responsive to a determination that the knowledge base includes a prescription for the detected exception, trigger a first workflow for remedying the detected exception based on the prescription.
Abstract: A graph representation is described that may be used for data extraction for a data repository. In one example, the graph representation defines an extraction dataset from an object. A selection from a user for a root node is received. Additional are presented for selection by the user based on fields and properties of the selected root node. The root node and selected additional objects are presented as a data graph. The selected objects are joined and presented in the data graph. Finally a dataset is extracted from the object-oriented database based on the data graph.
Abstract: Technology for detecting multimodal commands that enhance the human-computer interaction of a computing device. In an illustrative implementation, a computing device may receive multiple input events from a plurality of input devices. The plurality of input devices may each correspond to a different computer input modalities and the computing device may correlate the input events across different modalities. The computing device may keep the input events in their native form (e.g., input device specific) or may transform the input events into modality independent events. In either example, the computing device may determine the events satisfy a definition for a multimodal command that identifies multiple events from different computer input modalities. Responsive to the determination, the computing device may invoke the multimodal command on the client device to perform one or more computing operations.
Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for debugging application code in an on-demand multi-tenant database system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for testing graphical elements within a graphical user interface associated with a computer file, such as a web page. One exemplary method involves a computing device coupled to a communications network identifying a visible subset of graphical elements within a graphical user interface associated with a computer file available over the network and identifying a testable subset of the visible subset. To identify the testable subset the computing device obtains spatial display properties for each graphical element of the visible subset, performs a hit test for the respective graphical element using the spatial display properties, and retains the respective graphical element in the testable subset based on a result of the hit test corresponding to the respective graphical element. The testable subset thereby includes graphical elements that are perceptible to human users, and conversely, excludes imperceptible graphical elements.
Abstract: Controlling access to sensitive data can be difficult during an application development effort. A developer may not be authorized to see the data that is to be used by the application. Credentials used in a development environment to access development data can require modification when the application is migrated to a deployed environment. Changing the code in the deployed environment increases risks of change induced incidents. The technology disclosed allows for the creation of a named credential object, where the credentials for different environments are stored, and where the named credential object is called by metadata. This allows the promotion of code from a development environment to a deployed environment without changes to code, and without giving access to sensitive data to the developer.
