  • Patent number: 10209864
    Abstract: An intuitive user interface for clearing or deleting a structured data element is provided. One or more elements in a data structure may be selected and upon selection of a delete option, the contents of the one or more elements may be cleared. One or more animating panels may be provided which contain elements around the cleared elements. A panel may be moved by a gesture-type action to replace cleared elements. The panels may visually indicate which elements may be moved in place of the cleared elements. The user can visualize how elements may be shifted instead of having to understand terminology in a dialog. Selecting outside the panels may cause the panels to disappear, which may be equivalent to a clear action where other elements are not moved into the place of the deleted elements.

  • Publication number: 20150193405
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced testing for application services. In an implementation, revisions are made to a document in the context of an application service. The revisions invoke responses by at least a subset of the components of the service. At least some of the same revisions may then be applied to another instance of the document subject to various test components. Responses by the test components are invoked by the revisions, which may then be compared against the other responses to evaluate the test components.

  • Publication number: 20130145244
    Abstract: A quick analysis tool is configured to present one or more data analysis features that are tailored to the data in a selected portion of a spreadsheet document. The quick analysis tool may provide a quick analysis tool entry button, the selection of which causes a contextual user interface to be displayed. The contextual user interface facilitates a user to easily access one or more data analysis features. The quick analysis tool also provides a mechanism by which a user can preview and/or apply one or more of these data analysis features while bypassing the potentially steep learning curve and traditionally high barrier of entry for new or otherwise less advanced users of the spreadsheet application. Intermediate or otherwise more advanced users of the spreadsheet application will also benefit from the quick analysis tool because of improved efficiency for applying data analysis features to data within a spreadsheet document.
