Abstract: A function module allows fuzzy searching of data stored in an environment lacking inherent fuzzy search capability, by leveraging a native fuzzy search capability of an underlying database. The function module receives the data that is to be searched, as well as search terms/parameters. The function module creates a temporary table in the database, populates the table with the corresponding data, and executes the fuzzy search on the table according to the terms/parameters utilizing the database layer's native fuzzy search capability. After returning the fuzzy search result, the function module removes the table from the database. One embodiment implements the function module with the Advanced Business Application Program (ABAP) environment available from SAP AG, which lacks an inherent ability to perform fuzzy searching. That function module leverages native fuzzy search capability of an underlying in-memory HANA database architecture database available from SAP AG.

Abstract: Calendar content in a linear timeline may dynamically zoomed into and out of according to a change of a distance separating two user selected points on the screen as at least one of the user selected points is moved by the user. As the user zooms into and out of the timeline, a timescale that is displayed as part of the timeline may also be updated. The entries that are shown in the timeline may also be updated so that they correspond to the selected zoomed in time period. Additional detailed information may be displayed when zooming into the timeline whereas less information may be displayed when zooming out of the timeline. The degree of zooming may depend on a change in the separation distance between the points as one of them is moved.
