Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer program product for generating tiered search index fields based on a divided group-based communication data corpus in a group-based communication platform are described herein. In some embodiments, the system provides for receiving a group-based communication data corpus, generating a retrieval score, and assigning each group-based communication data object associated with a retrieval score. Each group-based communication data object may meet or exceed a retrieval score threshold of a high retrieval probability corpus. Each group-based communication data object associated with a retrieval score below the retrieval score threshold may be assigned to a low retrieval probability corpus. High and a low retrieval probability search index fields may be generated and associated with the high and low retrieval probability corpus.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an event occurrence feedback report after receipt of an event occurrence completion indicator, the event occurrence completion indicator associated with an event occurrence identifier and received from a third party event scheduling resource, and to present the event occurrence feedback report to a client device associated with an event occurrence creator identifier are provided herein.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for background updating an application. An example computer-implemented method includes activating a group-based communication browser session within a first display window of an apparatus.

The computer-implemented method further includes receiving an update for the group-based communication browser session. The computer-implemented method still further includes caching the update for the group-based communication browser session via a memory of the apparatus. The computer-implemented method also includes refreshing the group-based communication browser session based at least in part on the update upon determining that the window focus of the apparatus changes to the first display window.
