Abstract: A system implements data compression for a plurality of data objects each having a respective fixed data constituent and a variable data constituent. The data compression includes selecting a first subset of the fixed data constituents and a second subset of the variable data constituents. The second subset of the variable data constituents having an end date in common and event timing in common. The system compresses the first subset of the fixed data constituents and the second subset of the variable data constituents by defining a representative data object for the fixed data constituent subset and the variable data constituent subset.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a messaging system that can generate, store, and share groups of display columns associated with a user account, where each group may include a single display column or two or more display columns. A method may include rendering a first group of display columns of a messaging platform on a user interface associated with a first computing device, transmitting group creation data for creating a second group of display columns of the messaging platform, rendering a list identifying the first group of display columns and the second group of display columns, and rendering, in response to selection of the second group from the list, the second group of display columns on the user interface.
