  • Semantic navigation through object collections
    Patent number: 9268848
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to semantically navigating a data collection and to providing custom data mappings for a semantic group of data items. In one scenario, a computer system displays various data items of a data collection on a data presentation interface of a software application user interface. The user interface receives a first user input indicating that a semantic interface is to be displayed in the software application user interface, and displays the semantic interface which includes semantic headers that identify groups of data items. The user interface then receives a second user input that selects at least one of the semantic headers to display its corresponding group of data items and navigates the data presentation interface to the group of data items corresponding to the selected semantic header.

  • DATA COLLECTION INTERACTION USING CUSTOMIZED LAYOUTS
    Publication number: 20130111382
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing support for customized element layouts in a user interface. In one scenario, a computer system provides a user interface (UI) for a software application. The user interface includes multiple different UI elements arranged according to a custom layout. The computer system receives a user input that indicates various user interaction characteristics that are to be customized for the UI by a custom layout panel. The custom layout panel selects a characteristic modification interface based on which user interaction characteristics are to be customized, and implements the selected interface to customize the indicated interaction characteristics.

  • EFFICIENTLY PROVIDING DATA FROM A VIRTUALIZED DATA SOURCE
    Publication number: 20130067349
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to implementing data received from a virtualized data source and to efficiently providing data from a virtualized data source. In an embodiment, a computer system user interface (UI) sends a request for data elements to a data source. The computer system receives from the data source an indication that placeholder data is to be displayed while the requested data is retrieved and transmitted. The computer system then displays placeholder data in the UI for each of the requested data elements and dynamically adds the requested data elements to the displayed placeholder data as each data element is received from the data source. The data elements are dynamically added to the UI as they are received from the data source.
