  • Patent number: 11847438
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing offline capabilities to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform may provide offline functions and a data application programming interface to devices connecting to the cloud collaboration platform. The offline capabilities allow devices to store data related to documents and customizable live applications in a local cache. The offline capabilities retrieve data from and store modifications to data within the local cache. The cloud collaboration platform may subsequently process the changes and determine if conflicts arise, resolving conflicts where appropriate and possible. The cloud collaboration platform may then determine a final state for a record, return the final state to the devices, and update the local caches.

  • Publication number: 20230351031
    Abstract: In association with a communication platform, one or more users can create, share, edit, and/or comment on a document. Some examples of this disclosure are related to providing a list of suggested documents that a user can reference (e.g., add a link to) in a virtual space (e.g., in a message or post to one or more other users). For example, a user can be interacting with a virtual space (e.g., composing a direct message, a channel post, a thread, a workspace, a document, and the like) and invoke a list of suggested documents that can be referenced in the virtual space. In examples of the present disclosure, the list of suggested documents can include documents that are identified (e.g., based on one or more conditions being met) to be relevant to, or otherwise associated with, the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 11656859
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a data model application programming interface (“API”) to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The cloud collaboration platform provides data storage, a data model, and an API to embedded third-party live applications to allow the live applications to securely create, store, and access data within the cloud collaboration platform. The data model allows records stored in the cloud collaboration platform to sync independently, merge intelligently, and function offline.

  • Publication number: 20230067314
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a security model to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The security approach may dedicate a frame to each live application, serving the frame from a different domain than a document in which the live application is embedded. This approach ensures that more stringent security requirements may be required of the live application and allows the data presented to the live application to be narrowly tailored. The security model may further leverage sandbox attributes and content-security policies to restrict the behavior of sandboxed and non-sandboxed live applications in accordance with best security practices.

  • Publication number: 20220229846
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing are described. According to the techniques described herein, a device (e.g., an application server) may render a first graphical user interface including a first view of a first data record, the first view including a first field. The device may receive, via the first graphical user interface, a user input including a field-level comment for the first field. The first view further includes the field-level comment and a first field-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first field. The device may also render a second graphical user interface including a second view of a set of data records including the first data record. In some cases, the second view omits the first field and includes the field-level comment and a second record-level visual indicator indicating that the field-level comment is associated with the first data record.

  • Patent number: 11169789
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a rich text box to customizable live applications in a cloud collaboration platform. The rich text box component may extend styles and functions performed within a document editor in the cloud collaboration platform to customizable live applications. This extension ensures a consistent user experience where the behavior of text-editing in live application mirrors that of the standardized document editor. Additional functionality, such as mentions and auto-completions, may be performed by the rich text boxes embedded in a live application without adding to the code base of the live application, complicating design decisions, and/or circumventing the security requirements of a live application.
