Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent information navigation in a graphical user interface (GUI) where a sequence of items is generated and stored in a memory of a computer system. A number of graphical elements are displayed on a screen of a GUI, wherein each graphical element corresponds to an item of the sequence of items, and wherein the graphical elements are ordered according to the sequence. When requested, the graphical elements scroll in a chosen direction to gradually include a new graphical element into the screen at the direction of scrolling. Respectively, the scrolling could gradually exclude from the screen a graphical element at opposite direction. An item of the sequence of items could be selected as a currently active item. The displayed graphical elements are automatically scrolled to move the graphical element corresponding to the currently active item at a focal position within the screen.

Abstract: Systems and methods for nested roadmap information navigation in a graphical user interface (GUI) where a sequence of items is generated and stored in a memory of a computer system. The sequence of items includes at least one compound item. A number of user interface (UI) elements are displayed in a GUI screen, wherein each UI element represents an item of the sequence of items, and wherein the UI elements are ordered according to the sequence of items. The displayed UI elements include a UI element representing a compound item of the sequence of items. The compound item could be selected as a currently active item. The UI element representing the selected compound item can gradually expand to display one or more new UI elements representing component items subordinate to the compound item. The first of the component items is automatically selected as a currently active item.

Abstract: A context control interface may include a context name field that is arranged and configured to identify a working context, one or more attribute name fields that are configured to identify one or more attributes that define the working context and one or more attribute value fields that are arranged and configured to correspond to the attribute name fields and to define one or more values for the attribute name fields. The attribute name fields and the corresponding attribute value fields may be mapped to a first set of fields in a first application and may be mapped to second set of fields in a second application and the attributes and the values populate the first set of fields and the second set of fields such that the working context is persistent across the first application and the second application, where the first application differs from the second application.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to enable filtered searches of marketing-related data by extracting marketing project information, including marketing activities, promotions, and campaigns information from an existing marketing system database and restructuring the extracted information in a hierarchical series of selectable nodes. In an embodiment, some of the nodes may be grouped into time, accounts, products, agreements, or marketing plan tabs. In an embodiment, once one or more nodes are selected and a search is activated, the results may be presented in a list or Gantt chart. In an embodiment, the Gantt chart may be supplemented with additional information including additional date ranges, key performance indicators (KPIs), and/or trade spends. In an embodiment, this additional information may vary according to a user role and the nodes selected.

Abstract: A processor may read structure information from a database stored on a computer-readable storage medium. The structure information may be associated with a marketing calendar application and the structure information may represent one or more clusters and ordering information for the one or more clusters. The processor may read cluster information for the one or more clusters from the database. The cluster information may represent one or more related marketing activities, viewing information and grouping information. The processor may present the one or more clusters on a display device based upon the ordering information for the one or more clusters. The processor may present on the display device the one or more related marketing activities based upon the viewing information and the grouping information.

Abstract: A method and a system for a mobile data upload to an enterprise computer system are described. The data is received at a mobile device. The mobile device operates in a particular context. A reference to an application object of the enterprise computer system is specified based on the context. The data is sent directly from the mobile device to the application object using the specified reference. The context of the mobile device could include the location of the mobile device, the performed task, the user habits, and other elements that are analyzed either by the mobile device or by the enterprise system.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating a unified search comprising: providing a first user interface element with which a user can select a search type from a plurality of search types, wherein the search types comprise searches saved by a user and a plurality of standard searches; providing a second user interface element with which a user can select a refined search criteria that refines the selected search type; searching of customer relationship management data based upon the selected search type and the refined search criteria; and providing the results of the search in a single display frame.

Abstract: A context control interface may include a context name field that is arranged and configured to identify a working context, one or more attribute name fields that are configured to identify one or more attributes that define the working context and one or more attribute value fields that are arranged and configured to correspond to the attribute name fields and to define one or more values for the attribute name fields. The attribute name fields and the corresponding attribute value fields may be mapped to a first set of fields in a first application and may be mapped to second set of fields in a second application and the attributes and the values populate the first set of fields and the second set of fields such that the working context is persistent across the first application and the second application, where the first application differs from the second application.
