  • Patent number: 11262898
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing visual context in dataflows. A computing device may display a dataflow representation associated with a transformative process, receive selection of an individual node of the dataflow representation, and determine a visual context associated with the individual node based on a data transformation step associated with the individual node. Further, the computing device may determine a plurality of nodes associated with the visual context, and apply a graphical effect to the individual node and the plurality of nodes, the graphical effect modifying an attribute of the individual node and the plurality of nodes.

  • Patent number: 11086893
    Abstract: System, method, and computer product embodiments are described for querying a database using natural language queries (NLQ) to produce actionable results in an answer card. The method allows a user to take further action with the answer card by editing the card contents, manipulating the way data is displayed, or querying the answer results for more details of the data. By the method, the user may continue exploration of the data, use the results to collaborate with others, or build a story from the data in a presentation format, such as a dashboard, while maintaining access to the real-time data of the database through the answer card. System and computer product embodiments implement the method.

  • Patent number: 11068492
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for search and content creation. A partial input is received via a user interface of an electronic computing device. The partial input to be used for content creation. A search query is generated in response to receiving the partial input. A structured data repository is searched for objects matching the partial input. Results from the searching of the data repository are provided. Suggested content to be created from the displayed results is generated.

  • Patent number: 10120914
    Abstract: Improved integrated search techniques. A request for performance of a search for objects is received within a multi-tenant database environment having a plurality of tenants each having individual tenant information. A query is generated in response to the request. The query is specialized based on tenant information corresponding to a tenant from which the request originates. The tenant information is retrieved from the multi-tenant database environment. The query is performed on information stored in the multi-tenant database environment. Results of the query are presented to a user in a graphical user interface.
