  • Publication number: 20230186014
    Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for handling multiple overflows of content during pagination of a web document. A first tree representing a web document is obtained. A first page element including one or more elements of the first tree is generated, where the elements include a first Document Object Model (DOM) element. Coordinates of the first DOM element within the first page element are calculated. A first context associated with the first DOM element is pushed onto a context stack. An overflow of the first DOM element is detected in relation to the first page element based, at least in part, on the coordinates. Responsive to detecting the overflow, the context stack is added to an overflow list and the first page element is modified such that the first DOM element or portion thereof is removed from the first page element.

  • Publication number: 20230177090
    Abstract: A computing platform is configurable to cause identifying a first data object type of a computing platform, the first data object type identifying first data objects being included in a data model of an application, and identifying a second data object type of the computing platform, the second data object type identifying second data objects included in the data model, and the identifying of the second data object type defining a relationship between the second data object type and the first data object type. The computing platform is also configurable to cause generating a filter rule associated with the second data object type, the filter rule defining which of the plurality of second data objects may be associated with the plurality of first data objects, the filter rule being defined based, at least in part, on at least some of a plurality of attributes of the second data object type.

  • Publication number: 20220358462
    Abstract: Providing expert help to a user comprises providing an application for execution on a mobile device of the user associated with an entity. A computer receives entity rules from the entity, the entity rules include a definition of how communication channels are created. The entity rules are stored in a rules database in association with the user. A help request initiated by the user through the application program and sent by the mobile device, the help request comprising a current context of the user comprising a user ID and a task ID of a current task. Using the entity rules, the current context is transformed into search parameters that are used to search a knowledge repository for experts having profiles that match the current context of the user. The entity rules are used to automatically create a communication channel between the user and the experts matching the current context.

  • Patent number: 11347776
    Abstract: Database query analysis technology, in which an input query is received that relates to multiple attribute classes of data records. An index that is descriptive of the data records in data storage is accessed and relative positions in the accessed index for the multiple attribute classes are identified. The accessed index is processed based on more than one of the multiple attribute classes and the identified relative positions, and the processed index is used to identify groups of data records that are included in the data records in the data storage and that share common values for the multiple attribute classes in the input query. Metrics corresponding to the data records included in each of the identified groups of data records are accessed, computations are performed on the accessed metrics, and a report is generated that reflects results of the computations.

  • Patent number: 11176130
    Abstract: A method is provided for deriving different queries from the same filter criteria. The method includes receiving filter criteria specifying a condition for a set of first objects. The method includes generating a first query specifying a selection from the set of first objects based on the filter criteria, causing a result set of the first query to be displayed using a list-related view, and receiving a request to switch from the list-related view to a calendar-related view. The method includes in response to receiving the request, determining a foreign key for the set of first objects, the foreign key being a primary key for a set of second objects. The method includes generating a second query specifying a selection from the set of second objects based on the filter criteria and causing a result set of the second query to be displayed using the calendar-related view.

An index that is descriptive of the data records in data storage is accessed and relative positions in the accessed index for the multiple attribute classes are identified. The accessed index is processed based on more than one of the multiple attribute classes and the identified relative positions, and the processed index is used to identify groups of data records that are included in the data records in the data storage and that share common values for the multiple attribute classes in the input query. Metrics corresponding to the data records included in each of the identified groups of data records are accessed, computations are performed on the accessed metrics, and a report is generated that reflects results of the computations.

  • Patent number: 10148603
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamic electronic message content. A first template is associated with a first electronic message service provider, and a second template is associated with a second electronic message service provider. The first template is incompatible with the second electronic message service provider and/or the second template is incompatible with the first electronic message service provider. Dynamic content for electronic messages is stored in a database accessible by the first electronic message service provider and the second electronic message service provider. The dynamic content includes electronic message addresses associated with intended recipients of the electronic messages. The first electronic message service provider is instructed to generate a set of electronic messages based on the dynamic content, wherein the first electronic message service provider uses the first template to generate the set of electronic messages.

  • Patent number: 8577902
    Abstract: Data organization and indexing, in which data that includes information for multiple attribute classes is accessed and redundancy characteristics of the accessed data within each of at least two of the multiple attribute classes are identified. Based on the identified redundancy characteristics, a relative order among the multiple attribute classes of the accessed data is determined and the accessed data is organized based on the determined relative order. The organized data is compressed using run length encoding and an index that is descriptive of the compressed data is generated. The encoded data and the generated index are stored to enable subsequent searching of the encoded data using the generated index.
