Patent number: 12271431Abstract: 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. A static copy of the link document may be created to prevent further changes to the link document for business or compliance purposes.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Veeva Systems Inc.Inventors: Leah Avalon Weitz, Stephen Paul Harper, Bailey Chen, Joshua Andrew Lim, Sindhusha Reddy Jensen, Eric Bezar, Jon Stone, Derek Allwardt, Richard Mayfield

Patent number: 8918361Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Simon Y. Wong, Walter Macklem, Lars Hofhansl, Varadarajan Rajaram, Eric Bezar

Publication number: 20140258342Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Eric BEZAR, Doug CHASMAN, Dean JACOBS, Simon WONG

Patent number: 8738590Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Eric Bezar, Doug Chasman, Dean Jacobs, Simon Wong
