Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for implementing visual context in dataflows. A computing device may display a dataflow representation associated with a transformative process, receive selection of an individual node of the dataflow representation, and determine a visual context associated with the individual node based on a data transformation step associated with the individual node. Further, the computing device may determine a plurality of nodes associated with the visual context, and apply a graphical effect to the individual node and the plurality of nodes, the graphical effect modifying an attribute of the individual node and the plurality of nodes.

Visual context in dataflows

System, method, and computer product embodiments are described for querying a database using natural language queries (NLQ) to produce actionable results in an answer card. The method allows a user to take further action with the answer card by editing the card contents, manipulating the way data is displayed, or querying the answer results for more details of the data. By the method, the user may continue exploration of the data, use the results to collaborate with others, or build a story from the data in a presentation format, such as a dashboard, while maintaining access to the real-time data of the database through the answer card. System and computer product embodiments implement the method.

Actionable answer card in natural language query

Methods and apparatuses for search and content creation. A partial input is received via a user interface of an electronic computing device. The partial input to be used for content creation. A search query is generated in response to receiving the partial input. A structured data repository is searched for objects matching the partial input. Results from the searching of the data repository are provided. Suggested content to be created from the displayed results is generated.

Systems and methods for combined search and content creation

A method for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) of a software application connected to a server, the software application comprising at least a database, is provided. The method receives, at the server, user input comprising a search; generates, at the server, a set of search results based on the search, the set of search results being associated with entities of the software application, each of the entities comprising a respective database object containing predefined categories of data, the database comprising at least the database object; determines a priority order of the search results, based on user interaction history with the entities; and presents, via the GUI, the search results according to the priority order.

Methods and apparatus for presenting search results according to a priority order determined by user activity

System, method, and computer product embodiments for proving a graphical user interface (GUI) for a GUI object are described. A computing device provides, within the GUI, a polymorphic lookup interface for retrieving a plurality of entity instances to relate to the GUI object. The computing device provides a plurality of types of entities within the polymorphic lookup interface. A type of entity selected from the plurality of types limits the possible entity instances that may be returned. Through the polymorphic lookup interface, the computing device enables a user to select two or more entity instances to relate to the GUI object. Each of the selected entity instances may be selected from a plurality of possible entity instances that are returned, where each possible entity instance is a same type of entity.

User interface for polymorphic lookup

A method for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) of an enterprise software application connected to a server, the enterprise software application comprising at least a multi-tenant database, is provided. The method receives, at the server, user input comprising a search; generates, at the server, a set of search results based on the search, the set of search results being associated with entities of the enterprise software application, each of the entities comprising a respective database object containing predefined categories of data, the multi-tenant database comprising at least the database object; determines a priority order of the search results, based on user interaction history with the entities; and presents, via the GUI, the search results according to the priority order.

Improved integrated search techniques. A request for performance of a search for objects is received within a multi-tenant database environment having a plurality of tenants each having individual tenant information. A query is generated in response to the request. The query is specialized based on tenant information corresponding to a tenant from which the request originates. The tenant information is retrieved from the multi-tenant database environment. The query is performed on information stored in the multi-tenant database environment. Results of the query are presented to a user in a graphical user interface.

Mechanism for facilitating improved searching

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for presenting data on a mobile device in communication with an on-demand database system. In some implementations, a mobile device receives information identifying one or more data objects stored in the on-demand database system based on captured behavioral data for a user of the mobile device. The captured behavioral data may be based on interactions with the one or more data objects. The mobile device provides the information for display in a user interface for a mobile application. The mobile device provides for display a subset of a plurality of information items in the user interface, the plurality of information items provided from the on-demand database system, the subset determined based on the identified one or more data objects and based on user input received via the user interface. In some implementations, the user input comprises a selected type of data object.
