A method and system to track new submissions for an online forms service is provided. The system may include a request detector to detect a request to load a view (e.g., a web page) and a view provider to provide the view for display in response to the request. The view may comprise submission information for an electronic form and a value indicative of a number of new submissions.

Tracking new submissions for an online forms service

One exemplary embodiment involves a computer-implemented method comprising receiving, in a computing device, a first request to attach a file in a cell of a collaborative spreadsheet, wherein the first request comprises the file and a cell identifier, and wherein the collaborative spreadsheet comprises a spreadsheet configured to be accessed and modified simultaneously from a plurality of client devices. The method additionally comprises attaching, via a processor, the file to the collaborative spreadsheet at the cell corresponding to the cell identifier; and storing the file on a cloud storage device, wherein the file is stored to be accessible in conjunction with the collaborative spreadsheet.

Persistent plug-ins are described in a web browser. The browser displays various plug-in instances on a current page, where a plug-in instance is made up of a plug-in player running within the current page and playing content viewable by the user. When a page is changed, a command is issued to close the current page with all of its plug-in instances. If there is a persistence indicator associated with a plug-in instance, the current content state is preserved in memory. If the user desires to return to the original web page or any other page that references the persistent plug-in instance, the plug-in player searches the memory for the current content state and plays the content to return the display of the plug-in instance at the same content state as when the user last left the plug-in instance.

In one example embodiment, a system and method is illustrated that includes receiving input to execute a function associated with a display element of a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the display element to display edit history data relating to a displayed portion of structured data. The system and method also includes retrieving the edit history data for the displayed portion of the structured data based upon the function, the edit history data reflecting changes made to the displayed portion of the structured data. The system and method also includes displaying the edit history data in the GUI as part of the display element.

Method and system for conditionally transmitting changes to information in a collaborative environment are provided. A system comprises a display, a change tracking module, and a rendering module. The change tracking module is configured to detect changes by a modifying user to information as a propagating or a non-propagating change. The rendering module transmits first view data to enable altering a first view based on the modification as part of a graphical user interface on the display presented to the modifying user and transmits second view data to enable altering a second view presented to a group of users, not including the modifying user, based on the modification if the modification comprises the propagating change. The second view data is not transmitted if the modification comprises the non-propagating change.

Systems and methods which facilitate search engine discovery of and/or access to application program content are shown. Declarative code may be provided within the procedural code of a rich Internet application in order to identify various states, and their associated content, of the rich Internet application. A Web crawler may identify content associated with a rich Internet application using the foregoing information. Likewise, direct access to rich Internet application states associated with the identified content may be provided using the foregoing information. A translation module may be provided for interfacing between a Web crawler and a rich Internet application. Such a translation module may interact with the Web crawler to respond to Web crawler navigation instructions and access declarative code associated with different states of the rich Internet application, providing responsive information identifying content in a structure that is compatible with a search engine associated with the Web crawler.

Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to detect modifications made to information, the modifications received from a modifying user included in a group of users sharing the information by separately viewing presentations of the information. The presentations may have any number of views, such as a first view and at least a second view. Further actions may include transmitting first view data to enable altering the first view for the modifying user based on the modification made, whether the modification comprises a propagating change or a non-propagating change, and if the modification comprises a propagating change, transmitting second view data to enable altering at least the second view for at least some of the group of users, not including the modifying user, based on the modification. If the change is a non-propagating one, then the activity may include refraining from transmitting the second view data. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
