Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the data object to update a database system associated with the data object. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products for facilitating the prediction of the quantity and/or qualities of new data objects of a particular data object type to be generated based upon past generation of data objects of the particular data object type. Data that is used to generate predictions is obtained and filtered according to criteria that are configurable. In some implementations, the criteria indicate an industry for which predictions are generated, a geographic region for which predictions are generated, and/or time period criteria indicating a time period for which the predictions are generated. Predictions may be generated using a computer-generated model, which may be associated with the particular data object type.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products for performing error rate handling as data is ingested across data sources. Notifications are generated and transmitted according to a hierarchical configuration. The hierarchical configuration includes two or more tiers of notification settings, where each tier corresponds to a different error rate threshold and has a corresponding set of notification parameters. A set of notification parameters can identify one or more sets of individuals to be notified upon determining that the error rate exceeds the corresponding error rate threshold. As the error rate increases, notifications may be generated and transmitted according to further tiers of the hierarchical configuration.

Abstract: Disclosed are some implementations of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for facilitating the intelligent recommendation and simulation of goals using ingested database data. A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided to facilitate configuration of a goal. A goal configuration indicates a goal defined by a goal definition, a target improvement in relation to the goal, and a target date. A determination is made as to whether the target improvement in relation to the goal can be achieved by the target date. A goal recommendation is presented according to a result of determining whether the target improvement in relation to the goal can be achieved by the target date. A goal recommendation can indicate a confidence with which the recommended goal can be achieved. After a goal is created, goal simulation can generate and provide a visual representation of predicted progression toward the goal over time.

Abstract: A method of establishing personalized limits on a search responsive to a key word query in an enterprise search system is described that includes receiving an object types access history for a particular user. Applying this method, the object types access history includes records of object types selected from search results returning multiple object types and records of object types selected via interfaces other than search results. The method continues with determining and storing in computer readable memory a personalized scope of object types. The personalized scope of object types sets a limit on object types initially returned by an enterprise search system for the particular user in response to key word queries by the particular user that do not specify object types to search.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for performing an action on a database record in an on-demand database service. What actions are presented to a user interface of a mobile device can depend on attributes of the database record, such as metadata stored in association with the database record. Selection of one of the actions can cause the mobile device to integrate data from hardware components, databases, and applications using mobile device. The data identified from the mobile device can be automatically associated with various data fields of the action. The selected action can be performed on the database record using the data in the data fields.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for interacting with records using a publisher configured to publish information to a feed of a social network. In some implementations, a computing device receives a request to interact with a child record related to a parent record stored in a database system. The request is generated via the publisher displayed in a user interface on a display device. The user interface is also configured to display the feed in association with an entity of the social network. Child record information indicating a type of the child record and field data to populate one or more fields of the child record can be received. The field data is differentiated from message content generated via the publisher to include in a feed item for presentation in the feed when displayed to one or more users following the parent record. The requested interaction with the child record can be performed using the child record information.
