  • Patent number: 10602332
    Abstract: The ability for an organization's administrator to customize assets and content that, their users have access to is a substantial capability. This capability is not just to facilitate delivery of the correct content to the relevant audience, but is also important to ensure that the content is appropriate for the endpoint. The administrator may curate organizational links that are provided as a hierarchical directory of sites and applications for the organization. Embodiments are directed to programming the organizational links that propagate to mobile applications. A server side application programming interface (API) may be provided to access a organization's curated links, a web user experience may be provided to enable the administrator to manage and curate the organizational links, and a mobile-specific user experience may be provided for viewing the links in a manner that enables quick access to the most relevant content to users of the organization.

  • Patent number: 10452748
    Abstract: A lack of available responsive options for existing web sites and/or pages, and the wide spectrum under which they fall presents a challenge for a satisfying mobile user experience (UX) with a hosted collaboration service. Templates used to create a site and/or page may each have capabilities and features which “cross-over” into other templates. Deconstructing and rendering a web page into a native application experience at a mobile client may highlight a template's functionality to enhance the UX. For example, a server side application programming interface (API) may be provided for the mobile UX, a type of a page to be rendered may be determined, the page may be deconstructed into pieces, and the deconstructed pieces may be provided to rebuild the page at the mobile client natively. The page may be rendered on the mobile client with added elements based on the deconstructed pieces to enhance the mobile UX.
