Systems and methods for cloud-based file sharing, where templates are provided for creating workflow instances which enable the sharing of managed objects. Reusable workflow templates are stored in the repository of a cloud-based file sharing system as objects that define components of the workflow, or placeholders for these components. A user instantiates a workflow instance from one of the templates and configures the workflow instance to identify content objects or forms, tasks related to the content objects, and users assigned to perform the tasks. The workflow instance is stored as an object in the repository. Users assigned to tasks are authorized through the workflow instance to access the content objects or forms to perform the tasks.

Systems and methods for data collection using workflow forms

Systems and methods for enabling collection of signed data in a collaborative content sharing platform. One embodiment is a method including producing a form having one or more data entry components and at least one signature block component, selecting assignee users of the content sharing platform, providing the form to the selected assignee users, enabling these users to enter data and sign the form, and storing the assignee users' data in a data structure which is separate from the form, where the data structure includes a record for each assignee user, the record containing data entered by the user and electronic signature data for the user. The data structure is protected in the same manner as other data in the collaborative content sharing platform and may be accessible by some users, but not others, in accordance with their respective roles and authorizations.

Systems and methods for collection of electronically signed data

A method and device for generating message notifications at a mobile device is provided. A current operating context of the mobile device is determined. A first display representation for the received message in accordance with notification display settings associated with the determined current operating context is determined. Gesture information from a touch input component is determined and a second display representation comprising at least a portion of the received message and an action area for performing a direct action in response to the received message in response to the determined gesture information is generated.

Context sensitive message notifications

A system and method are provided for enabling customized notifications on an electronic device. The method comprises displaying a recommendation on the electronic device to create a custom notification for at least one communication type. The method also comprises enabling the custom notification to be created for the at least one communication type. The recommendation may be determined using usage data associated with the at least one communication type. The custom notification may be created by navigating to a custom notifications user interface. The custom notification may also be created by automatically determining at least one custom notification setting.

System and method for enabling customized notifications on an electronic device

A method of controlling a portable electronic device includes, in response to receipt of selection of an option to enter a do not disturb mode at the portable electronic device, suppressing notifications for the communications received at the portable electronic device while in the do not disturb mode. The method also includes, in response to exiting the do not disturb mode, discontinuing suppressing notifications for new communications received at the portable electronic device, providing an option to view the communications received at the portable electronic device while in the do not disturb mode and, in response to receipt of selection of the option to view the communications received while in the do not disturb mode, displaying a consolidated list of the communications received at the portable electronic device while in the do not disturb mode. The consolidated list includes a plurality of electronic communication types.

Portable electronic device and method of controlling notifications

A method and device for generating message notifications at a computing device is provided. The computing device receives a message indicator from a mobile device, the indicator associated with a message received by the mobile device. The computing device generates a first display representation of the received message indicator. Positioning information is determined from an input component. A second display representation is generated comprising at least a portion of the message received at the mobile device and an action area for performing a direct action in response to the received message when the determined positioning information satisfies a display criteria associated with the second display representation.
