Patent number: 11922156Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices facilitate synchronization of content between instances of data records. Servers may be configured to generate a data record comprising a dynamic synchronization data object, receive an input associated with the data record, and determine a plurality of synchronization parameters including a plurality of expansion parameters and a plurality of permission parameters associated with the dynamic synchronization data object. The servers may be configured to determine a plurality of update parameters based on the synchronization parameters, the update parameters identifying if a modification included in the input should be applied to contents of the dynamic synchronization data object. The servers may also be configured to update the data record and the contents of the dynamic synchronization data object based, at least in part, on the determined update parameters, the updating including pushing the updated contents to at least one of the plurality of target data records.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Sami Rahman, Drew Hamlin, Anuj Bheda, Tim Savage, Jr., Peter Vidani

Patent number: 11847438Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing offline capabilities to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide offline functions and a data application programming interface to devices connecting to the cloud collaboration platform. The offline capabilities allow devices to store data related to documents and customizable live applications in a local cache. The offline capabilities retrieve data from and store modifications to data within the local cache. The cloud collaboration platform may subsequently process the changes and determine if conflicts arise, resolving conflicts where appropriate and possible. The cloud collaboration platform may then determine a final state for a record, return the final state to the devices, and update the local caches.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Patent number: 11698983Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing cloud-based document permissions. In an embodiment, a document generation system may generate and/or store a cloud-based document. The document generation system may also generate links to the cloud-based document. The generated links may be associated with different permissions. For example, a first link may allow a first client device accessing the first link to edit the document while a second link may allow a second client device accessing the second link to only view the document. Other permissions may also include generating distinct graphical user interfaces (GUIs) associated with different links. The GUIs may accept input messages and/or comments in a chat panel. The document generation system may facilitate the delivery of these input messages to other client device with document access.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Drew Hamlin, Andrew Chung, William Joseph Flynn, III

Publication number: 20230067314Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Salesforce.com,Inc.Inventors: Julie TUNG, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Patent number: 11169789Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The rich text box component may extend styles and functions performed within a document editor in the cloud collaboration platform to customizable live applications. This extension ensures a consistent user experience where the behavior of text-editing in live application mirrors that of the standardized document editor. Additional functionality, such as mentions and auto-completions, may be performed by the rich text boxes embedded in a live application without adding to the code base of the live application, complicating design decisions, and/or circumventing the security requirements of a live application.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Julie Tung, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Patent number: 11079917Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an insights panel for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by loading a presentation and an account associated with the presentation, determining view status for the slide, comment status for the slide, total number of comments on the presentation, and percentage of engagement and displaying the presentation with an insights tab that includes this information. The creator of a presentation may view a comprehensive summary of edits made to the presentation, comments made to the presentation, and views of the presentation; see the users that were given access to the slide presentation and a level of engagement on an individualized basis; and benefit by seeing a level of engagement among the users over time.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Kevin Gibbs, Drew Hamlin, Chris de la Iglesia, Diana Berlin
