Patent number: 11361486Abstract: A visualization combination engine may be used to combine a first data visualization based on a first data set with a second data visualization based on a second data set. The combination process may be initiated by, for example, clicking and dragging the first data visualization onto the second data visualization. The visualization combination engine may create the combined data visualization without requiring the user to manually combine the first and second data sets. The combination may be carried out by identifying a key that is common between the two data sets and combining the first and second data sets into a combined data set based on the key, and then creating the combined data visualization based on the combined data set. One or more cues may be used during the process to provide helpful information and/or allow user selection of the properties of the combined data visualization.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Domo, Inc.Inventors: Gary Gibb, Alan Winters, Mardell Cheney, Ben Green, Chris Willis

Patent number: 10725642Abstract: An alert may provide a user with notification when a trigger condition regarding the operation of an enterprise is satisfied. Prior to setting the alert, a proposed alert with the trigger condition may be received. The trigger condition may be compared with a database of operational data related to operation of the enterprise over a period of time to obtain historical trigger data. The historical trigger data may indicate how the proposed alert would have functioned if applied to the operational data for the period of time, for example, by indicating how many times the alert would have been triggered during the period of time. The historical trigger data may be provided to a user, and may facilitate user determination of whether the proposed alert will perform as desired. Once the desired proposed alert has been entered, the user may set the proposed alert as an actual alert.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: DOMO, INC.Inventors: Adam Landefeld, Chris Willis, Alan Adams Winters, Dana Stott
