Method and system for approving steps in a multi-tenant database service

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, steps in a multi-tenant database service are approved to manually and/or automatically satisfy requests to approve various steps in the service. The ability of embodiments to provide such additional approval capabilities may lead to more flexible step approval during use of the on-demand database service.

Template based software container

Abstract: A hierarchical template framework may include lower tier templates that identify groups of software components for discrete software services. The template framework also may include upper tier templates that include one or more lower tier templates and identify software components for a prearranged group of the software services configured to support and operate with an associated category of core software functions. A software developer may build a software application from the software components identified in a selected upper tier template, lower tier templates, and any other core software components identified for the core software functions. The templates prevent the software developer from having to manually locate and test all of the software components for different software services used in a software application.

Facilitating dynamic customization of reporting tools in an on-demand services environment

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating dynamic customization of reporting tools in an on-demand services environment in a multi-tenant environment according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes importing, by a database system, a first application from a computing system associated with a third-party entity, where the first application is associated with the third-party entity and first one or more reporting forms of a plurality of reporting forms. The method may further include integrating, by the database system, the first application with a second application to generate an integrated application, where the second application includes a local application and is independent of the first application. The second application may be associated with second one or more reporting forms of the plurality of reporting forms. The method may further include associating, by the database system, a set of integrated properties of the integrated application with a reporting tool, and displaying, by a display device, the reporting tool to be used to facilitate building of one or more reports based on the set of integrated properties, where the one or more reports include at least one of the first and second one or more reporting forms.

Systems and methods for propagating a global filter to individual datasets

Abstract: A user can define a filter to applied be to one or more datasets. The filter includes a specification of a field to filter. Upon applying the filter to a dataset, if the specified field cannot be found in the dataset, a field in the dataset is selected as a default field to filter. Selecting what field in the dataset should be the default field is based on evaluating a set of rules. The default field is then filtered according to the filter criteria.

Mechanism for facilitating evaluation of data types for dynamic lightweight objects in an on-demand services environment

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for facilitating evaluation of data types for dynamic lightweight objects in an on-demand services environment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes uploading a data file having data at a first computing device in response to a request, and detecting data types relating to the data within the data file. The detecting includes scanning data rows and data columns of the data file. The method may further include classifying the detected data types into one or more categories, and creating one or more dynamic objects based on the one or more categories.
