Content items found in a designated folder within an e-mail system are obtained by a separate computing system. The content items are converted into entities within the separate computing system, and associated with one or more other entities within the separate computing system, based on a set of mapping rules. The content items can then be surfaced, in context, in the separate computing system.

Tracking electronic mail messages in a separate computing system

A computing system comprises, in one example, a display system configured to generate user interface displays, a first application configured to define an entity in the computing system, an interface component configured to control a second application to generate a notebook component corresponding to the entity, and an association component configured to generate and store an association between the entity and the notebook component. The first application is configured to control the display system to generate a first application user interface display that displays data for the entity in the first application and includes a user input mechanism corresponding to the notebook component in the second application based on the association.

Integrated note-taking functionality for computing system entities

A computer system includes a processor and a data store coupled to the processor. A user interface module is configured to provide a user interface of a first application executed by the processor. The user interface of the first application displays a plurality of items. The processor is configured to receive a command for an embedded spreadsheet view relative to the plurality of items and responsively save an electronic spreadsheet file in the data store and interact with an electronic spreadsheet service to display the plurality of items in a spreadsheet portion of a user interface within the user interface of the first application.

Analysis with embedded electronic spreadsheets

A multi-tenant hosting system receives business data and tenant-identifying data, from a tenant. The data from multiple different tenants is stored on a single database, but the data corresponding to each tenant is partitioned by marketing the data with a partition identifier, within the database. Therefore, the hosting system only allows individual tenants to have access to their own data.

Communication sessions are enhanced with customer relationship management (CRM) information. A unified communication (UC) client application retrieves contextual information associated with a contact through a CRM extension from a CRM application. Opportunities associated with the contact are presented from the contextual information. Contacts associated with a selected opportunity are organized by stakeholder and team member categories and presented through the UC client application. Documents associated with the opportunity are also displayed by the UC client application. Any alterations to the contextual information through one of the presentation views including contact, opportunity, people, and documents are transmitted back to the CRM application through the CRM extension for storage.

Enhancing communication sessions with customer relationship management information

The location of a drawing of an activity, a property of an element in the drawing and the structural relationship of elements in the drawing are stored in a database. The database is accessed to form a user interface that provides a hierarchical representation of activities and the elements within activities.
