Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more data objects in an online social network. A user interface includes a publisher with a custom action. The custom action is defined in accordance with custom action instructions provided by a first entity via an application programming interface (API). Such custom action instructions may declaratively or programmatically define the data object, the interaction to be performed with the data object, and other attributes associated with the custom action. A user may request to interact with the data object via selection of the custom action by a second entity. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the data object to update a database system associated with the data object. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update.

Systems and methods for creating custom actions

Methods and apparatuses for search and content creation. A partial input is received via a user interface of an electronic computing device. The partial input to be used for content creation. A search query is generated in response to receiving the partial input. A structured data repository is searched for objects matching the partial input. Results from the searching of the data repository are provided. Suggested content to be created from the displayed results is generated.

Systems and methods for combined search and content creation

Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for displaying content of an enterprise social network feed on a mobile device. In some implementations, a server receives a request to display a parent container feed associated with a parent object in a hierarchical model of objects stored in a database of an on-demand service environment. The server identifies, based a plurality of criteria, a first plurality of information updates associated with a first child object having a child relationship with the parent object. The server also identifies a second plurality of information updates associated with the parent object. The server generates a first set of feed items comprising the first plurality of information updates and a second set of feed items comprising the second plurality of information updates. The server provides for display on a mobile device the first and second sets of feed items in the parent container feed.

Displaying content of an enterprise social network feed on a mobile device

Methods and systems are provided for reducing noise in a social media feed of the type including successive posts each having a substantially homogeneous format. The method may involve: identifying a plurality of related updates to a record; configuring a single smart post to include underlying content from each of the plurality of related updates, and a visual cue distinct from the substantially homogeneous format; and displaying the smart post in the feed.

Systems and methods for managing smart posts in feeds

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for performing an action on a database record in an on-demand database service. What actions are presented to a user interface of a mobile device can depend on attributes of the database record, such as metadata stored in association with the database record. Selection of one of the actions can cause the mobile device to integrate data from hardware components, databases, and applications using mobile device. The data identified from the mobile device can be automatically associated with various data fields of the action. The selected action can be performed on the database record using the data in the data fields.

Apparatus and methods for performing an action on a database record

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with one or more records via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with a first record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the first record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update, where the feed item includes one or more actionable selections providing a reference to the first record. When a user selects one of the actionable selections, the user can perform additional interactions with the first record or perform a new interaction with a second record.
