Methods, systems, and devices for modifying default display configurations for objects in a user interface are described. A system may support automatically drawing objects in a user interface such that the objects do not overlap and are legible to a user. To draw the objects with no overlaps, the system may determine when objects overlap based on a sweep procedure that identifies locations of default positions for each object to be displayed in the user interface. If two objects are identified to overlap in both a first and a second dimension during the sweep procedure, the system may modify one of the objects to prevent the overlap. For example, the system may hide the object or may find a next best location to draw the object such that the objects no longer overlap. Performing the sweep procedure may reduce latency and processing resources needed to identify any overlapping objects.

Modifying default display configurations for objects in a user interface

The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for making visual representations actionable. This technology makes it possible to drill into data, identify records and take action directly, enhancing customized data visualization representations. The technology disclosed relates to a platform for ultra-fast, ad-hoc data exploration and faceted navigation on integrated, heterogeneous data sets. The disclosed systems and methods for adding and customizing quick actions make it possible for developers, admins, and ISVs to provide customized actionable visual data representations with direct linking for accessing data in a company's records and for linking to third party sites, without saving a new state on a server when dashboard elements are updated. The disclosed systems and methods for making data visualizations actionable in an analytics environment also make it possible to target multiple platforms&#x2014;generating lenses and dashboards that let users take advantage and access data in a company's records and link to other websites.

Systems and methods for making visual data representations actionable

A method, system and computer-readable medium for performing hybrid processing of prescribed and dynamically defined attributes for one or more entity instances is provided in one or more implementations of the present invention. The inventive architecture of the present invention including a data structure having a dynamic object abstraction layer configured to: provide for storage and retrieval of facet data independent of one or more prescribed database structures and proprietary object definitions; provide facet attributes in an application object model; provide for defining a number of fixed fields for one or more entities; and, provide for defining and storing one or more dynamic fields for each instance of the one or more entities. The present invention further provides for an application object model being independent of application storage.

Method and system for managing faceted data

A method and apparatus are provided to create a parent XSD document that separately identifies localized data and non-localized content definitions. A tool is employed to parse the localized content definitions from the non-localized content definitions. The parsing tool generates a child XSD document pertaining to the localized content definitions identified within the parent XSD document. One or more child XML documents are created to store data pertaining to the localized content definitions of the child XSD document. Localized content is isolated in a child XML document that is governed by a corresponding child XSD document, wherein the corresponding child XSD document is derived from the parent XSD document. Just as with any other XML document, the localized content in the isolated child XML document is supported by querying and validation by XML tools.

Method for storing localized XML document values

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for managing data items. A data store includes at least two copies of each data item. Each copy of a data item is used for a unique set of operations performed on the data item. An application programming interface receives a request from a consumer to perform an operation on a data item in the data store. The application programming interface selects, based on the received request, which copy of the data item is to be used when performing the operation.
