Abstract: Scale(s) on one or more axes may be displayed. The scale(s) may present a range of values associated with at least one business object attribute. Visual representation(s) of business object(s) may be displayed. The visual representation(s) may be positioned relative to the scale(s). Detail boxes corresponding to each visually represented business object may be displayed. Each detail box may present information about a corresponding business object. All detail boxes may be displayed. Information presented by the detail box(es) may be an image and/or text. The information presented by the detail box(es) may be interactive. Displaying or not displaying the detail box(es) may be toggled. The visual representation(s) of the business object(s) may be repositioned based on the toggling.

Abstract: A reference point on a graphical user interface may be determined. The reference point may be represented by a plurality of coordinates. The graphical user interface may be divided into tile map entities. Information about the tile map entities may be stored into a cache. The stored information may include an origin and dimensions of each tile map entity, and the origin may be represented relative to the reference point. Information needed to position a business object visual representation may be retrieved from the cache. The business object visual representation may be drawn on the graphical user interface based on the retrieved information needed to position the business object visual representation.

Abstract: Scale(s) on one or more axes may be displayed on a graphical user interface. The scale(s) may present a range of values associated with business object attribute(s). Visual representation(s) associated with business object(s) may be displayed on the graphical user interface. The visual representation(s) may be positioned relative to the scale(s). In response to activation of a grouping mechanism, the visual representation(s) may be moved to a first area in the graphical user interface. The business object(s) associated with the visual representation(s) may include business object attribute value(s) in common with other business objects visually represented in the first area.

Abstract: Calendar content in a linear timeline may dynamically zoomed into and out of according to a change of a distance separating two user selected points on the screen as at least one of the user selected points is moved by the user. As the user zooms into and out of the timeline, a timescale that is displayed as part of the timeline may also be updated. The entries that are shown in the timeline may also be updated so that they correspond to the selected zoomed in time period. Additional detailed information may be displayed when zooming into the timeline whereas less information may be displayed when zooming out of the timeline. The degree of zooming may depend on a change in the separation distance between the points as one of them is moved.

Abstract: Scale(s) on one or more axes may be displayed. The scale(s) may present a range of values associated with business object attribute(s). Visual representation(s) of business object(s) may be displayed. The visual representation(s) may be positioned relative to the scale(s). One or more visual properties of the visual representation(s) may be varied based on information associated with the business object(s). The one or more visual properties may be color(s) of the visual representation(s), pattern(s) in the visual representation(s), video(s) in the visual representation(s), text in the visual representation(s), image(s) in the visual representation(s), and/or shape(s) of the visual representation(s).

Abstract: Calendar application objects that do no not appear on the screen because of space constraints or other reasons may be associated with an edge of the time period displayed on the screen closest to a virtual location of each respective object in the calendar application. A user selectable indicator may then be displayed for one or more of the edges to indicate the presence of additional objects in the calendar application that are not currently displayed on the screen of the device, but would be displayed if the user were to scroll the displayed time period in the direction of the displayed time period edge associated with a respective indicator. The indicator may include additional data about the objects associated with the edge that do not appear within the time period shown on the screen.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of facilitating presentation and user selection of at least one timeslot, such as for an appointment, is presented. In this method, a request for available timeslots within a time period is received from a user device. In response, timeslot data identifying the available timeslots is retrieved from a scheduling system. An identifier key for each of the available timeslots, as well as graphical display data indicating the available time slots, are generated based on the timeslot data. The keys and the graphical display data are transmitted to the user device. A selection of at least one of the identifier keys is received from the user device. In response to receiving the selection, the at least one available timeslot corresponding to the selection is determined and forwarded to the scheduling system to reserve the at least one corresponding available timeslot.
