The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to improve data ingestion processing for management of domain-specific data through a software data platform. Processing described herein provides technical advantages, provided through a software data platform, that enable a user (e.g., an administrator) of an organization to more easily integrate and manage domain-specific data within a software data platform. A graphical user interface (GUI) of a software data platform is configured to guide an administrative user through data mapping processing so that the administrator can more easily integrate its organizational data into the software data platform. Insights may be automatically generated and provided to the user through the GUI, which may help to guide the administrator through the data mapping process. In further examples, generated insights may be provided as recommendations (or autocorrections) designed to foster a successful data mapping to aid provisioning of data.

The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to improve data provisioning for management of access to and usage of domain-specific data through a software data platform. Processing described herein provides technical advantages, provided through a software data platform, that enable a user (e.g., an administrator) of an organization to more easily integrate and manage domain-specific data within a software data platform. For instance, a graphical user interface (GUI) of a software data platform is configured to provide a user (e.g., administrative user) with control over provisioning of their data (e.g., education data) including bulk provisioning options to manage utilization and sharing of data via a software data platform. Provisioning management may comprise control over sharing permissions of domain-specific data with vendors (e.g., ISVs integrating within a software data platform), user accounts associated with a tenant configuration and applications/services provided by the software data platform.

The subject disclosure is directed towards saving undo state information for a digital art program. Changed state data is computed (e.g., via GPU-side logic) based upon the state information of the current state of a canvas and the previous state information, e.g., via an XOR operation or parallel XOR operations. The changed state data is compressed into compressed state data, e.g., via run-length encoding, and the compressed state data is stored, e.g., in a circular buffer in GPU memory. For an undo command, the compressed data is decompressed into the changed state data, and the bitwise operation reversed.

Digital art undo and redo

Described herein are various techniques and principles for determining how to assign control of peripherals and assigning control of peripherals. In some embodiments, determining how to assign control of peripherals comprises reviewing connections of peripherals to the computing device and evaluating rules to determine management points in the connections. In some cases, the connections of peripherals to the computing device may be organized into a hierarchy corresponding to a hierarchy of physical connections of the peripherals, including physical connections of peripherals located remote from the computing device and possibly connected through another computing device. When management points are identified among the connections, control of peripherals associated with the management points may be assigned in the same way. For example, access rights to each of the peripherals may be assigned to a same user session.
