Patent number: 11733850Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for slide grid snapping for presentations slides in a cloud collaboration platform. An embodiment operates by displaying a slide made up of rows and columns of pixels, receiving inputs to select and move an object, interpreting the movement, based on proximity to particular rows and columns, places the object along the particular row and column of pixels, and rendering the resulting slide. By serializing and coordinating design actions using the slide grid, the ease of design and the efficiency of the user experience may be enhanced. The grid system further allows users to comment anywhere in the document, associating those comments with objects or layers, and adjusting or moving the comments in response to grid-based actions.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Andy Chung, Aaron Boodman, Joshua Li, Erik Arvidsson, Kevin Gibbs, Diana Berlin

Publication number: 20230067314Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Salesforce.com,Inc.Inventors: Julie TUNG, Rajeev Nayak, Kevin Gibbs, Bret Taylor, Yang Su, Nate Botwick, Pedram Razavi, Scott Goodfriend, Nikrad Mahdi, Andy Chung, Drew Hamlin, Patrick Linehan, Sophia Westwood, Lindsey Simon, Shrey Banga, Diana Berlin

Publication number: 20220229846Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. According to the techniques described herein, a device (e.g., an application server) may render a first graphical user interface including a first view of a first data record, the first view including a first field. The device may receive, via the first graphical user interface, a user input including a field-level comment for the first field. The first view further includes the field-level comment and a first field-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first field. The device may also render a second graphical user interface including a second view of a set of data records including the first data record. In some cases, the second view omits the first field and includes the field-level comment and a second record-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first data record.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2021Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Nathaniel Botwick, Norris Lee, Kevin A.
