  • Patent number: 11087082
    Abstract: Systems and methods for re-using content in a content management system. The content management system may have two or more repositories. A link document may be generated in a link repository for a source document in a source repository. The link document may be a copy of the source document, and synchronized to the source document in a number of different ways, dynamically or statically. When the source document is updated, the source repository may notify the link repository about the change, receive a pull request from the link repository for the change, and generate an updated link document.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9436345
    Abstract: In embodiments, methods and systems for customizing a user interface to an on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for customizing a user interface to an on-demand database service can enable embodiments to provide a user interface designed by a tenant of the on-demand database service. The customization can include including third party content into the customized user interface, overriding a standard object, and providing content inline at a specified location.

  • Patent number: 8918361
    Abstract: Methods and systems include embodiments that recursively save parent, grandparent, and other records in a database that depend from a record. User-provided code within a save event or trigger can thus call further save methods without corrupting the database. Junction objects, objects that reflect records with two or more parents, can also be recursively saved.

  • Publication number: 20140258342
    Abstract: The efficiency and versatility for the implementation of formulas in an on-demand database is improved. Formulas are categorized. Based at least partly on the categorization, formulas are evaluated synchronously or asynchronously. An asynchronous evaluation may be performed if a certain set of criteria is not satisfied. Asynchronous evaluations may be performed using a queue. During an asynchronous update of an object, a counter field and/or an estimate field may be used respectively for indicating the consistency of values of the object and a time when the values were consistent. The versatility of formulas is enhanced by using a formula to create a default value for a custom field when it is created and to determine whether an action is to be performed, and is enhanced by having an action define when a formula is to be updated.

  • Patent number: 8738590
    Abstract: The efficiency and versatility for the implementation of formulas in an on-demand database is improved. Workflow field formulas are triggered by actions in a workflow, to produce values in fields. Resulting values are protected by preventing a subsequent reevaluation of the workflow field formula from taking place when values of input fields used in the workflow field formula change.
