  • Publication number: 20170329630
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for managing completion of a task. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete the task. The embodiment determines a context indicator for analyzing an application object in the selected collection. The embodiment processes the application object in based on the context indicator to generate information for completing the task. Another embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a collection configured to complete a task. The embodiment then determines that completion of the task requires solving a situation defined by a situation definition. The embodiment then identifies an anchor application object in the selected collection based on the situation definition. The embodiment then generates related information and a set of actions for solving the situation based on the anchor application object and the situation definition.

  • Publication number: 20170329483
    Abstract: In one general aspect, a method and system are described for generating a user interface. The method may include obtaining a plurality of viewports, providing, for display in a display device, the user interface depicting at least one of the plurality of viewports in the display. In response to receiving a request to add one or more additional viewports, the method may include generating the one or more additional viewports, appending the one or more additional viewports to the user interface, and generating an updated user interface to include the plurality of viewports and the one or more additional viewports. The method may also include displaying the updated user interface with a selected one or more of the additional viewports being scrolled into view on the display of the display device.

  • Publication number: 20170329500
    Abstract: A system for presenting a common user interface (UI) of multiple applications on a client computing device as a web page that includes a set of UI elements leading to a respective set of the multiple applications for a user. In the system, backend servers host a UI infrastructure including the common UI. Design tools are coupled to UI infrastructure for personalizing the common UI that is presented by the backend servers on the client device. The design tools include a tool that disposes, in the common UI, an overview page (OVP) element leading to a personalized overview page that visually displays, at a glance, application information and data visualizations for a specific work domain or role of the user.
