An example method facilitates modification and generation of User Interface (UI) display screens for webpages and web applications, such as process-based software applications. The example method includes receiving a first signal to access a webpage that includes a static UI display screen for a web application; serving the webpage in response to the signal; detecting the dynamic configuration functionality associated with the webpage, wherein the configuration functionality includes code and UI metadata provided in or with a dynamic layout file, the code and UI metadata including one or more rules and specifications for configuring schema used to generate rendering instructions for the dynamic part of the webpage.

Customizable user interface layouts

Multi dimensional rules-based dynamic layouts

An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application that communicates with a network resource during periods of intermittent network connectivity and includes determining when a networked software application is offline and when it is online; selectively intercepting one or more request messages from the networked software application addressed to a network resource when the software application is offline, resulting in a store of intercepted request messages; detecting when the networked software application transitions from being offline to being online; and selectively issuing the one or more request messages to the network resource in a sequence in which the one or more request messages were stored in the store of intercepted request messages. In a more specific embodiment, the system is implemented via an offline toolkit for capturing REpresentational State Transfer (REST) calls when the networked software application (client) is offline; then selectively replaying the calls when the client reconnects, i.e., goes online.

Offline client replay and sync

An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application during periods of intermittent network connectivity, by selectively intercepting and shredding and/or unshredding service response messages. In a specific embodiment, the example system includes one or more pluggable shredders and unshredders to explode a payload into its constituent structured primitive objects for ease of consumption by the User Interface (UI) of the client application. The exploded payloads are stored in local cache, where the cached data is structured as compared to the received payload. One or more unshredders selectively reconstruct one or more response message payloads if client reissues the corresponding request message while offline. The client may operate as if it is online, and the system will provide one or more mock responses containing the last known data set for the scenario wherein the server cannot be reached.

System for offline object based storage and mocking of rest responses

A system and method for facilitating automatically adjusting a user interface display screen or portion thereof. An example method includes determining context information associated with data, wherein the data is maintained in accordance with a data model; generating a signal when the context information changes; and employing the signal to automatically configure one or more characteristics of a user interface architecture, resulting in an adjusted user interface architecture. The context information may include information specifying one or more attributes relating to the data model. Generating may further include analyzing the one or more attributes to determine a modification to be made to the user interface architecture and then rendering a user interface display screen based on a modified user interface architecture.

Dynamically generating and rendering user interfaces based on data models

An example system and method facilitates operation of a networked software application, i.e., client application which communicates with a network resource (e.g., web service) during periods of intermittent network connectivity, by selectively intercepting and shredding and/or unshredding service response messages. In a specific embodiment, the example system includes one or more pluggable shredders and unshredders that are used to explode a complex REpresentational State Transfer (REST) payload into its constituent structured primitive objects for ease of consumption by the User Interface (UI) of the client application. The exploded, i.e., shredded response message payloads are stored in local cache, where the cached data is strategically structured as compared to the received REST payload. One or more unshredders selectively reconstruct one or more REST response message payloads if client reissues the corresponding REST request message while offline. Accordingly, the client need not alter its activities based on whether the client is online or offline. Instead the client may operate as if it is always online, and the system will provide one or more mock responses containing the last known data set for the scenario wherein the server cannot be reached, i.e., when the client is offline.

Systems and methods are provided for automatic operation detection on protected fields. A data model configuration can be used to specify which attributes of a data model used by a cloud-based application are protected by a data security provider monitoring communications between the application and a client device. A determination can be made automatically which operations of the cloud-based application are supported for protected fields. The cloud-based application can be configured to enable/disable certain features, such as validators, auto complete, search operators, etc. according to whether the attributes are protected fields.

Automatic operation detection on protected field

Systems and methods are provided for federated search. Search results can be federated across cloud-based data stores having data accessible to applications hosted in the cloud and private data stores protected by a data security provider that manages communications between a private network and the cloud. A search query invoked by a client of a cloud-based application can be partitioned into search criteria applicable to the cloud-based data stores and search criteria applicable to the private data store. The cloud-based application can perform a search using the search criteria applicable to the cloud-based data stores and use results of a search against the private data store to federate the results.

Federated search

Systems and methods are provided for supporting sharing the same table for protected and non-protected data columns. Different data object can be defined on the same database table. A discriminate flag can be defined to identify the data object to which a particular row belongs. The discriminate flag can be built into the data object so that rows belong to the data object are picked up during a query. Data protection can then be configured at the data object level so that rows that belong to the data object are subject to protection such as encryption or tokenization.

Support sharing the same table for protected and non-protected data columns

Systems and methods are provided for self-describing configurations of cloud-based applications for data security providers monitoring communications between a client device and the applications. An application programming interface (API) can be provided that allows the data security provider to inspect entity objects used by the cloud-based application. Data entities can be marked to have protected fields. A token identifier can be generated by the data security provider and sent to the cloud-based application. The cloud-based application can insert the token identifier in communications between the application and a client device allowing the data security provider to protect sensitive data associated with the protected fields.

Self describing configuration

Dynamically generated user interface

A system and method for facilitating characterizing data to enable dynamic generation of a user interface feature based on the data. An example method includes maintaining data in accordance with a data model accessible to webpage computer code, wherein the data model is adapted to be populated with data associated with one or more data attributes in the data model; and providing a signal, identifying a data attribute, from the data model to webpage computer code to facilitate dynamic construction of one or more user interface features characterizing a rendering of a webpage. Data in the data model is characterized by one or more data attributes, each of which is associated with an attribute definition. The example method may further include organizing one or more attribute definitions in the data model as computing objects containing characterizations of the one or more data attributes.

Dynamic user interface tag format

A system and method for facilitating authoring computer code to facilitate rendering a display of data via a user interface display screen. An example method includes accepting a signal from a user input device to specify an attribute in accordance with a definition of a class of attributes in a data model; providing the specification of the attribute to a software component characterizing a webpage, wherein the software component includes an indicator for dynamic rendering of at least a portion of data included in the data model and associated with the attribute; and storing the definition of the class of attributes and data associated with the attribute, for retrieval and rendering of the data on a target device. The example method may include providing a mechanism for modifying attributes of the data model and propagating data model changes to webpage computer code.
