Abstract:
Computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for suggesting logical relationships between database objects. One exemplary method involves a server identifying a database action with respect to a contact object associated with an event object, and in response to the action, identifying a second contact object in the database likely to be related to the event object based on one or more attributes of the event object. The server provides an indication of the second contact object in association with the event object on a client device and updates the database to maintain an association between the event object and the second contact object in response to an input at the client device.
Abstract:
Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for displaying reduced and detailed visual representations of calendar items based on mouse cursor movement. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A reduced visual representation of a first calendar item can be displayed in a first region of a user interface on a display of a device. The reduced visual representation of the first calendar item can comprise an at least partially obscured presentation of the subject, the date, and/or the time range of the first calendar item. Mouse cursor movement in the first region of the user interface can be detected. A detailed visual representation of the first calendar item can be displayed in the first region of the user interface in response to detecting the mouse cursor movement.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for creating a calendar event in a calendar application to provide at least some attendees with access to supplemental information related to the calendar event. The calendar application is configurable to allow sharing of supplemental information between users who are affiliated with a first organization that utilizes the calendar application in a cloud computing system, and other users who are affiliated with a second organization. When a user affiliated with the first organization creates create a calendar event that includes a list of attendees that includes second user-attendee(s) affiliated with a second organization that utilizes the calendar application, the user can enable sharing of the supplemental information with any of the second user-attendees included in the list of attendees so that they are allowed to view the supplemental information when viewing the calendar event.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for creating an instance of an object from within a context of a user interface of a calendar application. The calendar application can automatically detect existing calendars that are associated with a user of a particular organization, and dynamically determine different object types that are associated with calendar items displayed in each of the existing calendars. The different object types can include standard objects and custom objects. The calendar application can then provide a new object creation user interface (UI) element that (when selected) includes a list of the different object types that are displayed in response to selecting the new object creation UI element. When a user selects one of the different object types from the list, the calendar application can create, from within the context of the main user interface of the calendar application, an instance of the object in the cloud computing platform.

Abstract:
Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for processing keyboard input to perform events in relation to calendar items using a web browser-based application or online service. A database storing data objects identifying calendar items can be maintained. Each calendar item can comprise a subject, a date, and a time range. A bounding window of a web browser comprising one or more panes can be displayed in a user interface on a display of a device. At least one of the panes can comprise visual representations of a plurality of calendar items stored in the database. Keyboard input from a user interacting with a first calendar item of the plurality of calendar items can be processed. One or more events to be performed in relation to the first calendar item can be determined based on the keyboard input. The determined events can be performed.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for performing actions with respect to records maintained by a database system from within a calendar context of a calendar application. An association between a type of target object selected from a list of target objects for an organization, and an action type selected from a list of action types is created to define a quick action that is can be performed with respect to an instance of the type of target object. When a user interacts with a calendar item that relates to a record that is an instance of the target object and represents data associated with the calendar item, a quick action UI element is displayed within a main UI of the calendar application. When the user interacts with the quick action UI element, the quick action can be performed with respect to the record from within calendar context.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for generating a calendar view of a schedule that includes a time zone adjusted travel event and calendar items. When a user creates a travel event on a calendar, an adjusted duration for the travel event is computed, and the travel event is then scheduled according to the adjusted duration. The travel event takes place over a first time zone of a starting location that a user departs from at a departure time, and a second (different) time zone of an ending location that the user arrives at an arrival time. The adjusted duration for the travel event that is time-adjusted, based on time zones that the travel event takes place over, to account for any transitions between the time zones that occur during the travel event. Other calendar items that occur on the travel date and are to be displayed in a main user interface of a calendar application can also be detected. A single schedule is then displayed in the main user interface of the calendar application that includes the travel event and each of the other calendar items. The travel event is displayed within the single schedule such that the travel event is rendered to have the adjusted duration that is time-adjusted to account for any transitions between the time zones that occur during the travel event.
