  • Patent number: 8707166
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for plain text formatting of data item tables. An example system includes a plain text table manager including a template manager configured to obtain a hierarchical template including table information associated with a table, table information formatted in accordance with a non-proprietary markup language format. The example system also includes a parsing engine configured to parse the table information associated with the table to determine one or more markup language elements associated with the table. The example system also includes a plain text layout engine configured to determine a plain text graphical table structured layout associated with the table, based on the one or more markup language elements. The example system also includes a graphical table structure generator configured to generate a plain text graphical table structured view of the table indicating one or more data items indicated by the table information.

  • Patent number: 8626843
    Abstract: A selection of a communication scenario of multiple communication scenarios is received. Availability of content placeholders associated with the selected communication scenario is presented. A selection of a content placeholder from the content placeholders associated with the selected communication scenario is received. Based on the received selection of the content placeholder associated with the communication scenario, a mass-communication template including the content placeholder is generated. The mass-communication template is accessed to generate a first electronic communication. The first electronic communication is sent with first content based on a first state of a communication variable specified by the content placeholder of the mass-communication template. The mass-communication template is accessed to generate a second electronic communication.

  • Publication number: 20120317518
    Abstract: Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to an example embodiment, non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon. When executed by at least one processor, the instructions may be configured to cause the at least one processor to provide a treemap module and a tile module. The treemap module may be configured to generate treemaps within or in association with a first treemap within a first treemap graphical user interface (GUI). The treemaps may include sets of tiles, the tiles in the each set representing subsets of records in a database, based on filtered results obtained from application of groups of filters to the records. The tile module may be configured configured to process the selections of the sets of tiles in the first treemap.
