  • Patent number: 9230229
    Abstract: Systems and method for identifying individuals who may be potentially influential on a particular identified contact for a particular sales opportunity are disclosed. The individuals identified as potential influencers are then ranked according to a predicted level of influence and displayed in a graphic representation. In one embodiment, the ranked potential influencers are displayed as icons in a spiral formation relative to an icon representing the identified contact. The closer an icon representing a particular potential influencer is to the icon representing the identified contact, the greater the level influence is that that influencer might have on the identified contact.

  • Patent number: 9069454
    Abstract: Touch-sensitive features of devices may be used to demarcate a displayed area on the device to identify a set of data points contained in the demarcated area. After identifying the data points in the demarcated area, the user may be presented with an interface on the display listing different actions that may be performed on at least one of the identified data points. After the user selects the actions to be performed, the computing device may perform the selected actions on one or more of the identified data points in demarcated area.

  • Patent number: 9035972
    Abstract: Labels to be displayed along an axis may be obtained as a sequence of labels. If it is determined that the labels in an original sequence of labels overlap, then an alternate sequence of labels that avoids the overlap of the labels may be determined. If it is determined that the labels in the original sequence of labels do not overlap, than the original sequence of labels may be displayed along the axis. If it is determined that the labels in the original sequence of labels overlap, then the alternate sequence of labels may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20150112755
    Abstract: Embodiments identify and evaluate business opportunity prospects in an automated fashion. An engine receives one or more inputs used to identify business opportunities. These input(s) can comprise recent events gathered from external sources, for example feeds from news websites, and/or publicly-available business information (e.g. compiled by third parties). Other inputs can comprise information from internal sources, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERM) and/or Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications. Still other inputs can comprise personalized user preferences, for example an industry and/or territory assigned to a particular user. From these input(s), the engine automatically generates a business lead, together with a score reflecting a strength of that lead. To this existing lead information (e.g. score, lead name, lead contact information, etc.

  • Publication number: 20140059488
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for automatically summarizing selections in a hierarchical data tree. Embodiments display a table with at least one entry, corresponding to a level of a branch of a tree, representing a node and comprising a node descriptor, a node selection status indicator, and a summary of selected descendant nodes present. A user may toggle a node selection status via the node selection status indicator, which visually denotes a node selection status is one of selected, unselected, and mixed, according to the number of selected descendant nodes present. The summary of selected descendant nodes comprises a list of descendant node descriptors that summarize an ordered set of nodes between a current node and a lowest level selected node. Either navigation to an entry or modification of a node selection status triggers a propagation of node property updates.

  • Publication number: 20120198369
    Abstract: A set of data objects is identified satisfying a search query associated with an application adapted to perform a set of transactions on the data objects. A plurality of common attributes are identified, each shared by at least two objects in the set of data objects. A graphical analytics viewer is dynamically selected from a plurality of viewers each adapted to present a representation of data objects according to a corresponding analytics scheme. The selected viewer is selected for presentation in a graphical user interface based on identifying that the viewer has an analytics scheme related to one of the common attributes. Presentation of the selected viewer includes a selectable graphical representation of each data object in the set of data objects. At least one of the graphical representations is selected and a transaction from the set of transactions initiated on the data object corresponding to the selected graphical representation.
