When a user interacts with a calendar item that relates to a record that is an instance of the target object and represents data associated with the calendar item, a quick action UI element is displayed within a main UI of the calendar application. When the user interacts with the quick action UI element, the quick action can be performed with respect to the record from within calendar context.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for logging message data with reduced the latency and decreased overhead in multi-tenant systems. A message server may implement a two-stage process for logging the message data. In the first stage, the message server may create job-specific and write-optimized staging tables for each message processing job, and may store the message data for each job in a corresponding staging table. This may be done as the message server is building and sending the messages for each job. Additionally, the message server may partition or shard the staging tables so that the write operations are spread to multiple storage disks to avoid creating a storage server hotspot or bottleneck. In the second stage, the message server may move the accumulated message data from the individual staging tables to a corresponding tenant space at regular intervals. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: A record management system stores records for an organization having a plurality of members and a plurality of groups, and manages accessibility of the records for the organization according to a specified record access policy. The record management system generates an accessibility database that indicates, for each member, records that are explicitly or implicitly accessible by each member such that the records accessible for each member can be quickly determined if needed. A member has explicit access to a record if there is an explicit indication of accessibility between the member and the record. A member has implicit access to a record through membership associations to other members or groups that have access to the record. The record management system also receives search queries from members and returns records that are relevant and accessible to the members based on the accessibility database.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for mass encryption management are described. In some database systems, users may select encryption settings for storing data records at rest. A database may receive a request to perform an encryption process on multiple data records corresponding to a user, for example, based on a user input or a change in encryption settings. A database server may partition the data records for encryption (e.g., encryption, decryption, key rotation, or scheme modification) into one or more data record groups of similar sizes, and may perform the encryption process on one record group at a time (e.g., to reduce overhead in the system). The database server may additionally support restricting user access to the data records being actively processed, estimating resources needed for the processing, determining data record encryption statuses to be displayed by a user device, or some combination of these features.
