Abstract: Embodiments may be associated with a user interface design for an application. An intelligent user interface platform may collect user experience data associated with a user's interactions with the application over time (e.g., user actions, touchscreen interactions, computer mouse clicks, attention information, context information, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may then analyze the user experience data (e.g., looking for most visited interface locations, most used actions, infrequently accessed functions, common user mistakes, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may also automatically create a user interface design adjustment based on the analysis. For example, the user interface design adjustment might be associated with a menu item, a sub-menu item, an application action, an icon location, adding a display element, removing a display element, etc.

Abstract: A first user may generate a report that includes multiple data values. A second user may be granted access to some of the data values but not others. To accommodate the partial access permission, an application server may generate a version of the report that includes only the data values the second user is permitted to access. The data values that the second user is not permitted to access may be replaced by randomly generated character strings. A blurring effect may be applied to the replacement data values, providing a visual indication that the replacement data values are not the actual data values. Some data values of the report may depend on other data values. Both data values to which the user has explicitly been denied access and data values that depend on them are replaced in the generated version of the report.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for displaying a visual indication that an analytics rendering is authentic, and the integrity of the data is accurate and trusted. An analytics rendering comprising at least one table, chart, or graphic rendered from a plurality of aggregated data inputs from a plurality of microsystems may be selected. In a user interface for the analytics rendering, one or more structural identifiers associated with each data input of the plurality of aggregated data inputs can be displayed. A data input from the plurality of data inputs can then be selected and, responsive to receiving an instruction from a user, a visual indicator can be applied to the data input. If the one or more data inputs having an applied visual indicator is modified, the visual indicator will be visually altered in response the modification to the one or more data inputs.

Abstract: A framework for improving user interfaces, and menu systems in particular, is described herein. In one embodiment, a search bar is introduced to the user interface in addition to, or to the exclusion of, menu system components. By reducing or eliminating the need for a persistent menu system UI, screen real-estate is made available for other content displayed by the application. In one embodiment, a user desiring to access functionality exposed by the application enters search text into the search bar. A list of search results is displayed, the list including actions—pieces of functionality exposed by the application—and/or traditional menu system components including menus, context menus, toolbars, pop-ups, widgets, buttons, and the like.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for visual tracking of report changes are described herein. The used technique adds transitions between all steps of modification to a report document instead of static new pages. A classification module classifies the modifications and an identification module selects a visual effect to be used as transition state according to the classified modification.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is performed by causing at least one processor to by execute instructions recorded on a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-implemented method includes interfacing an informative effects engine with a computer application, detecting an operation of a select feature or function of the computer application on a user-application interface, and in response to the detection, presenting a tutorial with one or more informative effects related to the select feature or function of the computer application on the user-application interface.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes displaying a window with a first section characterizing a computing task and a second section with a progress bar and an interaction button. An overlay pane is displayed with a status message and an animation indicating that the computing task is active. The overlay pane covers at least a portion of the first section and is partially transparent such that a covered portion of the first section is visible through the overlay pane.
