Abstract:
A method in a database system is disclosed. The method comprises generating a task template object from a platform entity with polymorphic lookup capability that can map to multiple tenant domains wherein the task template object contains one or more task completion storage records for storing task-specific information, converting the task template object into a work-type object by storing task-specific information in the one or more task completion storage records wherein the work-type object comprises a work-type object identifier (ID), a first record for recording the database ID of one or more work order objects mapped to the work-type object, and a first task completion storage record for storing a first type of task-specific information. The method further comprises generating a work order object for a task and providing the work order object with access to the task-specific information by linking the work-type object to the work order object.
Abstract:
A method for providing access to a data item in a multi-tenant database system is disclosed. The method comprises storing a data item as a first data object in a first tenant domain in the database system wherein the data item comprises a knowledge-based item and the first data object has a first data object identifier (ID). The method further comprises generating a platform object with polymorphic lookup, storing database ID information for the data item in the platform object, the database ID information for the data item including the first data object ID, providing a first entity in a second tenant domain with access to the data item by linking the platform object to a first tenant-specific object accessible by the first entity, and providing for display in a user interface a link that is mapped to the data item via the platform object and the first tenant-specific object.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing features in a database system. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a user, a request for a feature, where the feature is a functionality of the database system. The method further includes upgrading the database system, where the upgrading includes one or more provisioning steps that are based on the request from the user.
Abstract:
In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for customizing standard formula fields, at least a portion of a formula is received for a standard database field of a standard database entity in a multi-tenant database and the standard database entity is used by a plurality of tenants, a date range is stored for maintaining at least the portion of the formula, information on one or more variables of the formula is received, a value is calculated for the standard database field with at least the portion of the formula and information on the one or more variables of the formula and one or more database entities depend on the value for the standard database field, and the value is stored for the standard database field.
