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:
Methods and systems are provided for displaying a context-sensitive overlay in conjunction with a calendar displayed by a calendar application. The calendar application can determine contextual information from the calendar that indicates context for the calendar. The contextual information comprises calendar data or third-party data linked to calendar items that are displayed in the calendar. The calendar application can automatically query a backend system to dynamically determine, based on the contextual information, at least one context-sensitive overlay that is pertinent to the calendar in view of the contextual information. The context-sensitive overlay provides supplemental information that is directly associated with the contextual information from the calendar. The context-sensitive overlay can be displayed in conjunction with the calendar so that it is superimposed on at least a portion of the calendar.
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.
