Generating a user unavailability alert in a collaborative environment. An embodiment can include receiving a user input from a user indicating an unavailability of the user. Responsive to the user input, activity of the user in the collaborative environment can be analyzed to identify whether any pending actions are allocated to the user which relate to other people identified by the user's participation in the collaborative environment. Responsive to determining at least one pending action is allocated to the user which relates to at least one other person identified by the user's participation in the collaborative environment, a first message can be generated to be communicated to the at least one other person indicating the unavailability of the user, and the first message can be communicated to the at least one other person.

Methods and systems for navigating to an initial position in a document include weighting historical user actions within a document. Initial display positions within the document are determined based on the weighted historical user actions. A selected initial display positions is navigated to in accordance with a user selection.

Functionality can be implemented in email applications to allow sent messages to be updated, even if the sent messages have been read. When a request to update a sent message is received, a message update unit can update information in the message according to the notification. The message update unit can notify a recipient that the message was updated, and can indicate changed information in the sent message. The message update unit can also determine if the sent message has been forwarded, and forward the update notification to other recipients.

Retrospective changing of previously sent messages

In one embodiment, a system for motivating electronically-scheduled event attendance can include a set of attendance listening components, an attendance prompt, and an attendance prompting tool. The attendance listening components can monitor activities performed in a networked environment. The attendance prompt can represent an electronic message and feedback mechanism that is provided on an electronic device. The attendance prompting tool can interject the attendance prompt into an activity identified by an attendance listening component as being performed by a user-selected member of the networked environment. The attendance prompt can be associated with an electronically-scheduled event the user-selected member is to attend.

Device-independent attendance prompting tool for electronically-scheduled events

A method, computer program product, and computer system for detecting creation of a first portion of a table and a second portion of the table, wherein the first portion of the table may include a first label and wherein the second portion of the table may include a second label. It may be determined that a pattern exists between the first label and the second label based upon, at least in part, historical use of the first label relative to the second label. The pattern between the first label and the second label may be automatically recreated in a third portion of the table and a fourth portion of the table based upon, at least in part, receiving at least a portion of the first label in the third portion of the table.

Formatting tables with complex patterns

A method of secure electronic message conveyance. The method can include, via a processor, receiving a request to forward an electronic message originally received by a first user to at least a second user. The method also can include, based on content contained in the electronic message, selecting from a plurality of approval entities at least one approval entity that is to determine whether the electronic message is approved to be forwarded to the at least a second user, and receiving from the selected approval entity an indication that indicates whether the electronic message is approved to be forwarded to the second user. The method further can include, responsive to the selected approval entity approving the forwarding of the electronic message to the second user, automatically forwarding the electronic message to the second user.

Secure electronic message conveyance

The present disclosure may include receiving a query from a computing device at a server having a database, the query identifying a desired attribute. The present disclosure may also include searching the database to identify contact information for at least one individual having the attribute corresponding to the query. The attribute may include at least one of skills, expertise, product, organization, geography and language The contact information may be transmitted to the computing device via an electronic message identifying the contact information.

Identifying contacts

A computer-implemented method, system, and program product for selecting tabulated data are provided, which include: displaying a tabulated data structure on a computer display, the tabulated data structure including a plurality of data fields; receiving a user input indicative of a selection of one of the data fields; searching the tabulated data structure to generate at least one set of data fields, the data fields in each set sharing a relationship with the user-selected data field; and highlighting the at least one set of data fields in the displayed tabulated data structure, in which each of the highlighted sets of data fields is user-selectable.

Tabulated data selection

A method, computer program product, and system for injecting content in collaboration sessions is described. A method may comprise receiving, via one or more computing devices, a request from a third party to inject content into a collaboration session between two or more users. The method may further comprise monitoring, via the one or more computing devices, one or more communication platforms to detect a qualifying event associated with the request from the third party to inject the content into the collaboration session between the two or more users. The method may additionally comprise, in response, at least in part, to detecting the qualifying event associated with the request from the third party to inject the content into the collaboration session between the two or more users, injecting, via the one or more computing devices, the content into the collaboration session between the two or more users.

Injecting content in collaboration sessions

A method, system, and computer usable program product to determine a first mood of the user, where the first mood is based on a characteristic of the user at a first time during the providing of an online service and to determine a second mood of the user, where the second mood is based on a characteristic of the user at a second time during the providing of the online service. The first mood of the user and the second mood of the user are compared to determine a delta or change in mood of the user.

Service management using user experience metrics

Online location sharing through an internet service search engine includes: receiving in a server a query from a first user, the query identifying a second user; querying multiple internet services with the server over a network for real-time information regarding the second user; and providing a consolidated view of responses received from the plurality of internet services to the first user with the server, the server being authorized by the second user to receive all information relevant to the second user contained in the responses; wherein the consolidated view of responses indicates an online location of the second user.
