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.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for processing keyboard input to perform events in relation to calendar items using a web browser-based application or online service. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A bounding window of a web browser comprising one or more panes can be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device. At least one of the panes can comprise visual representations of a plurality of calendar items stored in the database. Keyboard input from a user interacting with a first calendar item of the plurality of calendar items can be processed. One or more events to be performed in relation to the first calendar item can be determined based on the keyboard input. The determined events can be performed.

Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for displaying reduced and detailed visual representations of calendar items based on mouse cursor movement. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A reduced visual representation of a first calendar item can be displayed in a first region of a user interface on a display of a device. The reduced visual representation of the first calendar item can comprise an at least partially obscured presentation of the subject, the date, and/or the time range of the first calendar item. Mouse cursor movement in the first region of the user interface can be detected. A detailed visual representation of the first calendar item can be displayed in the first region of the user interface in response to detecting the mouse cursor movement.

Methods and systems are provided for associating objects in a database. An exemplary method involves identifying one or more objects in the database that are likely to be related to a first object in the database that is based on data obtained from a local application associated with a user and displaying the identified objects on a client device associated with the user. In exemplary embodiments, the identified objects are displayed in response to selection of a graphical user interface element enabling indication of a second object from among the one or more objects, wherein the first object is associated with the second object in the database after receiving indication of the second object. In one or more exemplary embodiments, the database is a multi-tenant database in a multi-tenant system providing instances of a virtual application to multiple tenants.

Associating objects in multi-tenant systems

The technology performs database access control in a manner that decreases computational cost of the database access control with an object type definition of a database object that permit multiple parent objects. The system determines whether to grant a user access to a database object via a first set of access control paths that do not rely on whether the user has permission to access a minimum number of parent objects of the database object. Responsive to a determination not to grant the user access via the first set of access control paths, the system determines whether to grant the user access to the database object via a second set of access control paths that determine whether the user has permission to access the minimum number of parent objects of the database object.
