Abstract: A method of streamlined web site navigation includes providing a command line interface supplemental to a graphic user interface. The command line interface accepts entry of verbs and parameters from a web site-specific vocabulary. The web site-specific vocabulary allows a user to access functions of a graphic user interface page of the web site by entering at least one verb and without navigating page links to reach the graphic user interface page. The method receives data entered at the command line interface, including the at least one verb. The method continues with identifying a particular web page responsive to the verb, and sending the particular web page towards a client system. The method may further include receiving with the data entered at the command line interface at least one parameter that modifies the verb, and identifying the particular web page responsive to the verb combined with the parameter.

These mechanisms and methods for providing such management can help prohibit an unauthorized user from accessing an account of an authorized user when the authorized user inadvertently loses login information. The ability to provide such management may lead to an improved security feature for accessing on-demand services.

Abstract: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for creating a data silo and testing with a data silo including, for example, initiating a test sequence against a production database within a host organization, wherein the test sequence specifies: (a) new data for insertion into the production database during the test sequence and (b) one or more queries for execution against the production database during the test sequence. Such a method further includes inserting the new data into the production database; recording one or more row IDs corresponding to the inserted new data; injecting a test context filter into the one or more queries based on the one or more row IDs; and executing the one or more queries against the production database.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic creation of multi-column index tables and management of customer queries in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, at a computing device, a query having one or more filters relating to one or more data type columns of database at a primary table. The primary table may include an object table. The method may further include calculating a hash number based on an index identifier corresponding to the one or more filters, and determining a first key at a secondary table based on the calculated hash number. The secondary table may include an index table, and the first key may be mapped with a second key corresponding to one or more rows at the primary table.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing secondary content to a secondary device from a primary device. The secondary content is content that is related to primary content being provided to the primary device, and that is to be executed and rendered at the secondary device. The primary device is paired with the secondary device. This pairing includes establishing a connection between the primary device and the secondary device. The primary device and the secondary device can then negotiate establishment of secondary content delivery session between the primary device and secondary device. When the secondary content delivery session is established between the primary device and the secondary device, the primary device can communicate the secondary content to the secondary device.

The technology disclosed also relates to identifying and notifying the user of nearby attendees of sessions at the event who meet introduction preferences of the user by finding matches between introduction preference attributes specified by the user and attributes of the attendees provided by the list of event attendees.

Abstract: Computer-implemented systems, methods and apparatus are provided for rendering different scenes of an application. An application framework is provided that includes a scene controller and a scene cache pre-fetch module that stores at least some of the different scenes as cached scenes. When the scene controller receives a request for a new scene (e.g., to change the current active scene) it can determine whether that new scene is stored at the scene cache pre-fetch module. If so, the scene controller can load the cached scene directly from the scene cache pre-fetch module as a new active scene.
