  • Patent number: 8839089
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional data reporting system presents a data report based on a data model, creates a callout report model based on a cell in the data report, and presents an instance of the callout report model in a callout interface. In one implementation of the multi-dimensional data reporting system, upon receiving a callout control associated with selected cell of the data report, the system retrieves the multi-dimensional data associated with the selected cell, builds the callout report model based on the retrieved multi-dimensional data, and presents an instance of the callout report model in a callout interface. In one implementation, the callout interface provides the capability to change the type and the dimensionality of the instance of the callout report model in the callout interface. The callout interface also allows inserting the instance into the data report and to update the data report based on the instance.

  • Publication number: 20100257113
    Abstract: Events occurring with respect to metrics are defined. When an event occurs with respect to a metric, a notification of the event is generated in a social network, such as an enterprise social network. The notification might include the name of a user associated with the event and the name of the event. Comments may be left regarding the notification of the event. The comments can be retrieved and analyzed.
