A database system provides automatic synchronization from one or more databases to a table. The synchronized portion of each source database table is periodically imported into a corresponding portion of a destination database table. For each synchronized field in the table with data from multiple source databases, one of the source databases is set as a primary source, which determines the data type and field configuration of the field. Data from secondary sources are cast to the data type established by the primary source and represented using the primary source's field configuration. The source database table may also include data that is not synchronized with the destination database table. Similarly, the destination database table may be enriched with data that is not included in the source database table.

Partial table and multisource synchronization for databases

Technologies for implementing customized behaviors for content items are provided. An example method can include receiving, from a user account registered with a content management system, a request to access a content item managed by the content management system for the user account, the content item having one or more behaviors configured for an attribute associated with the content item and/or the content item associated with the attribute; obtaining, from a representation of a remote state of content items associated with the user account, metadata defining the attribute associated with the content item; based on the metadata, determining the one or more behaviors configured for the attribute and/or the content item associated with the attribute; and applying the one or more behaviors to the content item.

Per-node metadata for custom node behaviors across platforms

The present technology pertains to a technique for responding to a crash of an application. The technique includes detecting a crash of an application running on the computing system, selecting a crash response for the application based on engagement status information for a flow profile comprising one or more user signals associated with the application, and implementing the instructions of the crash response.

User engagement aware auto-restart

The present technology pertains to a technique for updating an application; the technique seeks to select when to install the update to minimize interrupting a user experience with the application. For example, a system can download an update for the application and obtain an activity flag. This activity flag can indicate that the application will interrupt the user. The system can set the flag based on identifying a match between a flow profile and a current operative flow. The flow profile can be predefined and specify one or more user engagements. The operative flow can be identified based on a detection of one or more current user engagements with the application.

User engagement aware auto-updater

A sending computing device encodes data items as barcodes and simultaneously displays two or more barcodes on a first display screen of, or operatively coupled to, the sending computing device. A receiving computing device obtains the two or more barcodes from a single video frame captured by a first camera module of, or operatively coupled to, the receiving computing device. Furthermore, the receiving computing device encodes, as an acknowledgement barcode, an acknowledgement that identifies each barcode that was successfully received and displays the acknowledgement barcode on a second display screen of, or operatively coupled to, the receiving computing device. The sending computing device captures the acknowledgement barcode via a second camera module of, or operatively coupled to, the sending computing device. Based on the acknowledgement barcode, the sending computing device determines which of the data items were or were not successfully received by the receiving computing device.

Inter-device data transfer based on barcodes
