Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable mediums for combining activities in recorded code. A method is disclosed that includes receiving a first indication of a first operation and a second indication of a second operation from an electronic document application, the first indication of the first operation indicating that the first operation is performed on a first cell of the electronic document application and the second indication of the second operation indicating the second operation is performed on a second cell. The method may include determining a range of cells expression. The method may further include generating code within the recorder application comprising the range of cells expression that when executed within the recorder application causes an operation of the same type as the first operation and the second operation to be performed by the electronic document application on the first cell and the second cell.

Combining spreadsheet recorded operations

A collaboration database service may allow users to create, edit, and share collaborative content on custom databases, and may also integrate and interoperate with various productivity applications. For example, a collaboration database engine of the service may detect creation or modification of a table through an application associated with the service. In response to a request to add a choice type column to the table, the engine may automatically select, provide, and enable modification of a set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to choices. The engine may then provide the choice type column for display within the table such that each cell of the choice type column is automatically and/or manually populated with at least one of the choices. The choice may be represented by a symbol and/or associated text value from the modified set of symbols and associated text values corresponding to the choice.

Single or multi-choice data presentation through collaboration database service

A collaboration database service may allow users to create, edit, and share collaborative content on custom databases consistently across a variety of platforms and devices. For example, a collaboration database engine of the service may be configured to detect creation of a table through an application associated with the service, the table including one or more columns and rows that form a plurality of cells. The engine may also be configured to determine and optionally reduce a character count of data within each cell, map each cell to a bucket based on the character count of the data, and automatically select an optimal configuration of the table to be provided for display through the application based on the mapping. The optimal configuration may maximize an amount of the data presented within each cell of the table and enable consistent presentation of the table across a variety of platforms and devices.

Optimizing content for consistent presentation through collaboration database service

Data presentation functionality associated with a collaboration database may be provided. A presentation of a table in conjunction with a collaboration database may be detected. At least one field in the table that includes people type data may also be detected. Initial letters associated with a person or an entity may be detected as input into the at least one field. A type of entry of the initial letters may be detected. A local data source may be searched to identify matching entries. Suggestions may then be displayed. If one of the suggestions is selected, additional information associated with the selected suggestion may be displayed on a contact card in a vicinity of the at least one field. An interactive functionality associated with the additional information through the contact card may be provided upon selection of the at least one field when the table is presented.
