  • Methods and systems for managing files in an on-demand system
    Patent number: 9977788
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing files in an on-demand system. One exemplary method involves a server obtaining an input value from a data input field of an electronic file that was generated based on a template that maintains an association between the data input field and a field of an object in a database. The method continues with the server storing the input value in the field of the object in the database based on the association. In one or more embodiments, an input value indicated by a graphical user interface element within an electronic file is mapped to a column of an object table in the database that corresponds to the field of the object associated with the data input field that corresponds to the graphical user interface element.
