Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for performing an action on a database record in an on-demand database service. What actions are presented to a user interface of a mobile device can depend on attributes of the database record, such as metadata stored in association with the database record. Selection of one of the actions can cause the mobile device to integrate data from hardware components, databases, and applications using mobile device. The data identified from the mobile device can be automatically associated with various data fields of the action. The selected action can be performed on the database record using the data in the data fields.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving an indication of a component definition to instantiate. The component definition may be a portion of a component definition data structure. Such implementations may also involve instantiating the provided component, instantiating all remaining attributes of the component definition data structure to produce a component instance data structure and transmitting an intermediate representation of the indicated component to a client device. The intermediate representation may comprise a version of the component instance data structure. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the component in memory.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for testing a page. In some implementations, an intermediate representation of a page is created. The page may be defined by a page description implemented in a markup language. The page description may refer to data accessible via a data model. The intermediate representation may include at least a portion of the data accessible via the data model. The intermediate representation may be capable of being rendered to create a rendered page. The rendered page may be capable of being displayed on a display device. A determination may be made as to whether a test value for a portion of the intermediate representation matches an expected value for the portion of the intermediate representation. When the test value does not match the expected value, an indication of an error may be stored.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for providing a user interface in an on-demand software service environment are described. Some implementations involve receiving a component request from a first client device, locating class-level definition source code for a component definition corresponding to the component request, identifying the component definition within the source code, determining a language of the component definition and selecting a parser according to the language of the component definition. Such implementations may also involve parsing the source code to create the component definition and transmitting an intermediate representation of the requested component to the client device. The intermediate representation may allow the client device to create an instance of the requested component.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with an application using a publisher in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to expose an application using the publisher. The application may be hosted natively in an on-demand service environment or hosted on a third-party platform. Content from the application is exposed in the publisher via an application programming interface (API). A user may interact with the application via the API through the publisher, and the information feed is updated via the API according to the user interaction with the application. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more records via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with a first record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the first record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update, where the feed item includes one or more actionable selections providing a reference to the first record. When a user selects one of the actionable selections, the user can perform additional interactions with the first record or perform a new interaction with a second record.

The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with the record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update. One or more entities may be cross-referenced with the feed item so that the same feed item is provided in the feeds of each of the one or more entities. Identification of the entities to be cross-referenced with the feed item can come from data defined by a user in a payload, data defined by a system administrator, and/or record relationship information in a database system.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the data object to update a database system associated with the data object. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device comprising sophisticated high-k metal gate structures formed in accordance with a replacement gate approach, semiconductor-based resistors may be formed above isolation structures substantially without being influenced by the replacement gate approach. Consequently, enhanced area efficiency may be achieved compared to conventional strategies, in which the resistive structures may have to be provided on the basis of a gate electrode metal, while, nevertheless, a low parasitic capacitance may be accomplished due to providing the resistive structures above the isolation structure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for compiling a procedure for testing a page. In some implementations, a component definition for a component instance referred to in computer programming language instructions defining a test procedure for testing a page may be received. The page may be defined by a page description implemented in a markup language. The page description may include a reference to a first portion of a component instance. Compiled wrapper code operable to simulate the presence of the component instance may be generated. The compiled wrapper code may represent the first portion of the component instance referenced in the page description. A compiled test procedure may be generated based on the computer programming language instructions. The compiled test procedure may include the compiled wrapper code. The compiled test procedure may be capable of being executed to perform the test procedure.
