Technologies are described herein for filtering data in a result set using inexact and/or culture dependent terms. A user provides one or more filter terms for filtering a result set being viewed. One or more data type interpretations are determined for each filter term based on the value of the term. The data type interpretations may further be based on a locale associated with the user. For each filter term, the columns of the result set to which the filter term is to be applied is selected based on the data type interpretations determined for the filter term and the data types of the columns. The filter terms are then applied to the selected columns of the result set, thus causing the rows of the result set as displayed to the user to be limited to rows wherein at least one column value satisfies a filter term.

Filtering structured data using inexact, culture-dependent terms

The description relates to threshold views. One example can include a display, storage and a processor. The storage can store instructions for execution by the processor. The processor can be configured to process the instructions to create a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display. The GUI can include a threshold view that shows elements that relate to a family on a given day. The elements can include time bound elements, semi-time bound elements and non-time bound elements.

Threshold view

Tools and techniques are described for formats for database template files shared between client and server environments. Systems provided by these tools may include client subsystems that include client-side database management applications that instantiate tables within a database, and instantiate client-specific database template files corresponding respectively to the tables. These database management applications may also instantiate server-specific database template files that correspond to the client-specific template files, and may enable servers to access the server-specific template file. These systems may also include server subsystems that further include server-side database management services that access the server-specific template files, and instantiate server-side template files based thereon. In turn, the database management services may create database applications from the server-side template files.

Formats for database template files shared between client and server environments

A one-screen entry point to a document management program ('program') is provided to allow a user to browse templates associated with the program. The templates can be local templates and/or online templates provided by one or more Web services. The one-screen entry point allows a user to search, browse, or download online templates, and/or create documents using the templates. Each template is identified with a template category and displayed together with templates identified with the same template category. Local templates are presented along with online templates if the local templates and the online templates are identified with the same online template category. A user or an administrator of the program can create and/or customize local templates and local template categories. A blank template is provided so a user can create custom documents for the program.
