A tile-based user interface (UI) may be presented on a display device in tile view in full-screen view. The underlying application is active whether the UI is in tile view or in full-screen view, and may generate data that can be presented via the UI. In tile view, the UI may present abbreviated representations of information generated by the underlying application. In full-screen view, the UI may present detailed representations of information, including graphical UI elements and data elements that were not presented in the tile view UI.

Techniques are described for aggregating information from multiple software tools into a manager cockpit. The manager cockpit includes multiple views for presenting the aggregated information in various actionable tiles. When an actionable tile is selected, the manager cockpit presents actions that can be performed on the selected tile. In some embodiments, the manager cockpit can apply a rules engine to generate alerts and a coaching engine to generate recommended actions to remedy the alerts. The recommended actions can be presented as an action that can be performed on the selected tile.

The present disclosure includes an adaptive tile framework. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising sending an access request from a mobile application operating on a mobile device to one or more remote systems, receiving a plurality of interactive features available on the remote systems, associating the plurality interactive features with a plurality of tiles, where particular interactive features are associated with particular tiles, and where the tiles are user interface elements for interfacing with one or more specific interactive features of the remote systems, and displaying the tiles.

Techniques are described for a graphical user interface that presents a dashboard on a display of the mobile electronic device. The dashboard includes a footer for presenting commonly used features that are available to a given user. The remaining area in the dashboard is configured to present multiple tiles. Each tile can provide the status of a feature that is available to the user. Depending on the status of a given feature, the tile can change its visual appearance by applying a theme that corresponds to the status. The theme can affect the font, font size, typecast, or general overall appearance of the tile. The dashboard allows a user to monitor the status of features by pushing the status information to the dashboard instead of having the user manually check for the status of each feature.

The present disclosure includes an adaptive tile framework. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising sending an access request from a mobile application operating on a mobile device to one or more remote systems, receiving a plurality of interactive features available on the remote systems based on a role of a user associated with the mobile application, associating the plurality interactive features with a plurality of tiles, where particular interactive features are associated with particular tiles, and where the tiles are user interface elements for interfacing with one or more specific interactive features of the remote systems, and displaying the tiles as a two-dimensional array having rows and columns of tiles. A tile placement for each tile is determined automatically.

Techniques are described for activating multiple profiles on a shared mobile computing device. Each profile can be used to establish a connection with an instance of an application where the application instances can potentially be hosted on different servers. Due to the fact that the activation process to activate a profile on the shared device can be time consuming and require interacting with other devices or servers, the techniques described allow multiple profiles to be activated on a shared mobile computing device. Access to each of the profiles is controlled by a login process. During logging out of a profile, the cache of the shared mobile computing device can be cleared to improve security.

Multiple profiles on a shared computing device

In one embodiment the present invention includes a computer-implemented method for a mobile device. An application security status is detected. When the application security status is active an application passcode is required to access functionality of a mobile application operating on the mobile device. A first encryption of data associated with the mobile application is performed, where the first encryption uses a first encryption key when the application security status is active, and the first encryption uses a second encryption key when the application security status is not active. A mobile device passcode status is detected. When the mobile device passcode status is active a mobile device passcode is required to access functionality of the mobile computing device. A second encryption of the data is performed when the mobile device passcode status is active, where the second encryption uses a third encryption key.
