In one embodiment, a complex query includes components that are arranged in a hierarchical structure including a first type of filter and a second type of filter and are connected by connectors. The method selects a first data set and selects a second data set for the components. The second data set being generated by processing data in the first data set for the second type of filter and the second data set includes entries describing a result of the processing. The first type of filter is applied to the first data set and the second type of filter to the second data set for the components where the information describing the result is used by the second type of filter to filter entries and first type of filter filters entries based on column values in the first data set. The method combines outputs of the components using the connectors.

The disclosure generally describes methods, software, and systems, including a method for managing modifications to a document by collaborators. A digital document is identified for collaboration by a first user having ownership privileges for the document. The collaboration is associated with at least one collaborator. A duplicate version of the identified document is provided to each of the identified collaborators. The duplicate versions are monitored for modifications performed by corresponding collaborators. A list of modifications is created that identifies the modifications performed by the corresponding collaborators in the duplicate versions associated with those collaborators. A selection from the list of modifications is received from the first user of at least one modification for incorporation into the identified document. Based on the received selection, the selected at least one modification is merged into the identified document.

Controlling a collaborative data preparation process

The present disclosure includes techniques pertaining to computer implemented systems and methods for automatic generation of data transformations. In one embodiment, a user manipulates a spreadsheet of data in a user interface. On a backend, the user's manipulations trigger actions that cause the data to be modified. Actions may automatically cause data flow objects and data flow graphs to be produced. The transformations defined by the data flow graphs are automatically executed by a software engine and the results are displayed to the user. The user may access and manipulate data from a variety of data sources while the underlying complexities of the transformation process are performed in an automated manner.

Manipulating spreadsheet data using a data flow graph

When a set of screen elements are identified as a family a bounded extent is placed around the identified elements. Items can be automatically grouped based on their association with a set of data defined in a DBMS as a family, for example. When one of the elements within the group is moved, the extent automatically resizes to a new geometry that fits around each of the elements within the group. If an element within the group is moved against the extent and then extended beyond the boundaries of the extent, the extent automatically resizes to cover a bigger area; if an element within the group that is against the extent is moved inside the boundary of the extent, the extent automatically resizes to cover a smaller area. It is possible to nest a set of these extensible groups within a single extensible group thereby providing maximum flexibility while still maintaining optimal flexibility. In addition, it is possible to 'unlink' an item so that it maintains its association with the group but does not effect the extent.
