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 methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with components across different domains in a single user interface in an online social network. The user interface includes a first component and a second component, where the first component exposes content from a first database system at a first network domain and the second component exposes content from a second database system at a second network domain. A first interaction with the first component is received at a computing device, followed by a reference being provided in the second component, where the reference includes information related to the first interaction. A second interaction with the second component regarding the reference can be received at the computing device. Interactions between the components hosted on different database systems can occur through an application programming interface (API).

Abstract: Techniques for providing feed-based case management on an online social network. A user interface that includes a publisher and an information feed is provided. Information associated with a record is received and the record is updated in a database system. A feed item associated with the database system update is generated and provided in the information feed. The feed item includes one or more actionable selections providing a reference to the publisher. Selection of one of the one or more actionable selections causes the publisher to be operable to receive further information associated with the record. The record is capable of being updated based on the further information. In some implementations, the record is a case and the user interface serves as a single interface for all interactions required in solving the case.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more records via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with a first record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the first record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update, where the feed item includes one or more actionable selections providing a reference to the first record. When a user selects one of the actionable selections, the user can perform additional interactions with the first record or perform a new interaction with a second record.

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: Embodiments regard predictive intelligence for service and support. An embodiment of a method includes receiving at an interface for a database system data entered in one or more data fields regarding service of a first case for a first client, the data being received from the first client or from an agent entering data regarding the first case; automatically comparing by the database system the data for the first case with data for other cases stored in a data store of the database system; identifying by the database system one or more similar cases based on the comparison of data; automatically generating by a predictive intelligence algorithm applied by the database system one or more predictive actions for the first case based on the identified one or more similar cases; and transmitting data regarding the one or more predictive actions to the first client or agent.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with an application using a publisher in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to expose an application using the publisher. The application may be hosted natively in an on-demand service environment or hosted on a third-party platform. Content from the application is exposed in the publisher via an application programming interface (API). A user may interact with the application via the API through the publisher, and the information feed is updated via the API according to the user interaction with the application. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with a record via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with the record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update. One or more entities may be cross-referenced with the feed item so that the same feed item is provided in the feeds of each of the one or more entities. Identification of the entities to be cross-referenced with the feed item can come from data defined by a user in a payload, data defined by a system administrator, and/or record relationship information in a database system.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable storage media for creating a customized user interface. The user interface includes one or more user interface components, where the one or more user interface components include a publisher configured to publish information to an information feed. Custom page instructions are received at a computing device, where the custom page instructions modify attribute and/or attribute values of the user interface components of at least one of: dimensions of the user interface components, layout of the user interface components, values for one or more data fields in the user interface components, visibility of the user interface components and/or data fields, user access permissions for interacting with the user interface components, criteria for displaying feed items in the information feed, and function of one or more attributes of the user interface components.
