  • Patent number: 10147054
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for displaying content of an enterprise social network feed on a mobile device. In some implementations, a server receives a request to display a parent container feed associated with a parent object in a hierarchical model of objects stored in a database of an on-demand service environment. The server identifies, based a plurality of criteria, a first plurality of information updates associated with a first child object having a child relationship with the parent object. The server also identifies a second plurality of information updates associated with the parent object. The server generates a first set of feed items comprising the first plurality of information updates and a second set of feed items comprising the second plurality of information updates. The server provides for display on a mobile device the first and second sets of feed items in the parent container feed.

  • Publication number: 20150358303
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for combining feed items for presentation in a feed. For example, two feed items having different timestamps are processed. When the feed items are associated with the same database record and when a difference between the timestamps is less than or equal to a threshold, the feed items can be combined to produce a representative feed item. The representative feed item is configured to present information characterizing updates of the feed items outside of a chronological sequence of feed items in a feed when displayed on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20150019575
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer-readable storage media for filtering feed content in an enterprise social networking system into user-customizable feed channels. Each feed channel is defined by a criterion or criteria customized by a user. Feed content published to one or more feeds is accessed. Portions of the feed content are identified that satisfy a criterion or criteria of a feed channel. A user device is operable to process data to display a list of the feed channels. Each feed channel in the displayed list is user-selectable to cause the display of the feed channel to include only the portion of feed content satisfying the criterion or criteria of the selected feed channel.
