Technologies for creating form field(s) for a database object (DO) in a database system are provided. A user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD) can display a page that includes one or more form fields for the DO. In response to a request to create a new form field for the database object, options for creating additional form fields for the DO can be displayed within the page. Based on a selection of one of the options, a form field for the DO can be created in the database system. A UI element that includes the form field for the DO can be displayed at the DD via the same UI (used to receive the selection). This can allow a user to visualize how the form field for the DO is displayed during-run time without requiring the user to change to a second UI.

Form field creation systems and methods

A method for creating a field database object (DO) in a database system (DS) is provided. Prior to run-time: a first page associated with the DO is displayed via a user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD); a request to create a field for the DO is received via the UI presented on the DD; field creation options for creating fields for the DO within the first page are displayed via the UI; a selection of one or more field creation options is received via the UI and communicated to the DS; and the field is created in the DS. During run-time, the DD is sent a second page to be displayed that is different than the first page, via the same UI presented on the DD that was displayed and used to receive the selection used to create the field using the first page.

Techniques and/or mechanisms to provide efficient system user management via a user interface (UI) page. In one embodiment, a search string is received via a dialog box of a UI page. Based on the search string, a first list is provided for display in the UI page, the first list including one or more items each representing a respective user of a plurality of users. Based on a focus on a first item of the first list, a second list is displayed in the UI page, the second list including one or more items each representing a respective a user management command corresponding to the user represented by the first item. Based on a focus on a second item of the second list, a user management command is executed without requiring navigation away from the UI page.

System and method for user information management via a user interface page

A method for creating a field for a database object in a database system includes displaying, via a user interface, a page associated with the database object, and receiving via the user interface, a request to create a field for the database object. A plurality of field creation options for the database object are displayed, and a selection of at least one of the plurality of field creation options is received. The field for the database object in the database system is created based on the selection. A modified page including the field for the database object is then displayed via the user interface.

Techniques and/or mechanisms to provide efficient system metadata management via a user interface (UI) page. In one embodiment, a search string is received via a dialog box of a UI page. Based on the search string, a first list is provided for display in the UI page, the first list including one or more items each representing a respective metadata type of a plurality of metadata types. Based on a focus on a first item of the first list, a second list is displayed in the UI page, the second list including one or more items each representing a respective a metadata management command corresponding to the metadata type represented by the first item. Based on a focus on a second item of the second list, a metadata management command is executed without requiring navigation away from the UI page.

System and method for metadata management via a user interface page

Methods and systems are provided for creating custom applications that integrate custom objects in a multi-tenant system. One exemplary method for creating a custom application involves an application server providing a graphical user interface on a client device. The graphical user interface includes a graphical user interface element for receiving an input value for an attribute of the custom application, wherein the application server generates the custom application having the attribute equal to the input value indicated by the graphical user interface element to a client device.
