Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for suggesting logical relationships between database objects. One exemplary method involves a server identifying a database action with respect to a contact object associated with an event object, and in response to the action, identifying a second contact object in the database likely to be related to the event object based on one or more attributes of the event object. The server provides an indication of the second contact object in association with the event object on a client device and updates the database to maintain an association between the event object and the second contact object in response to an input at the client device.

Dynamic recommendation methods and systems for database changes

Methods and systems are provided for creating a calendar event in a calendar application to provide at least some attendees with access to supplemental information related to the calendar event. The calendar application is configurable to allow sharing of supplemental information between users who are affiliated with a first organization that utilizes the calendar application in a cloud computing system, and other users who are affiliated with a second organization. When a user affiliated with the first organization creates create a calendar event that includes a list of attendees that includes second user-attendee(s) affiliated with a second organization that utilizes the calendar application, the user can enable sharing of the supplemental information with any of the second user-attendees included in the list of attendees so that they are allowed to view the supplemental information when viewing the calendar event.

Providing attendees from a different organization with supplemental information related to a calendar event

Methods and systems are provided for creating an instance of an object from within a context of a user interface of a calendar application. The calendar application can automatically detect existing calendars that are associated with a user of a particular organization, and dynamically determine different object types that are associated with calendar items displayed in each of the existing calendars. The different object types can include standard objects and custom objects. The calendar application can then provide a new object creation user interface (UI) element that (when selected) includes a list of the different object types that are displayed in response to selecting the new object creation UI element. When a user selects one of the different object types from the list, the calendar application can create, from within the context of the main user interface of the calendar application, an instance of the object in the cloud computing platform.

Calendar application, system and method for creating records in a cloud computing platform from within the context of the calendar application

Methods and systems are provided for performing actions with respect to records maintained by a database system from within a calendar context of a calendar application. An association between a type of target object selected from a list of target objects for an organization, and an action type selected from a list of action types is created to define a quick action that is can be performed with respect to an instance of the type of target object. When a user interacts with a calendar item that relates to a record that is an instance of the target object and represents data associated with the calendar item, a quick action UI element is displayed within a main UI of the calendar application. When the user interacts with the quick action UI element, the quick action can be performed with respect to the record from within calendar context.

Calendar application, system and method for performing actions on records in a cloud computing platform from within the context of the calendar application

A method of operating a content delivery system that includes a terminal device and a server includes storing, within the memory element, a channel configuration that has been customized for the terminal device. The method also includes authenticating the terminal device with the server and receiving, by the server, a request for the channel configuration from the terminal device. The method further includes sending, by the server to the terminal device, the channel configuration in response to the request for the channel configuration after authenticating the terminal device. Also, the method includes receiving, by the server, a request for content from the terminal device. The request for content corresponds to the channel configuration. Additionally, the method includes sending, by the server to the terminal device, a content element for populating a terminal device channel by the terminal device according to the channel configuration.
