A user interaction is detected, selecting a unit with a user input mechanism. A unit hierarchy path that is used to categorize units, is accessed and a node in the unit hierarchy path, corresponding to the selected unit, is identified. A set of ancestor nodes in the unit hierarchy path is also identified, and a user interface breadcrumb control is generated based upon the selected unit and the identified ancestor nodes. A display system is controlled to render a display page for the selected unit, along with the breadcrumb control.

Hierarchical navigation control

An extensibility system exposes an application programming interface (API) that can be used to call external engines. A given engine is identified, and triggers for calling the identified engine are monitored. When a trigger occurs, the identified engine is called through the API.

Extensibility of engines in computing systems

Concepts and technologies are described herein for managing recurring appointments without losing historical data associated with the recurring appointments. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a recurring appointment definition can be modified without deleting the recurring appointment definition and/or losing exceptions, notes, and/or other data associated with the recurring appointment definition. Additionally, the concepts and technologies disclosed herein allow the modification of an existing recurring appointment definition without creating a new recurring appointment definition. Thus, synchronization between rules-based calendaring applications and expansion-based calendaring applications can be accomplished without creating multiple instances of related recurring appointments created due to modifications of the recurring appointment definition.
