Abstract
Methods and devices selecting a sandbox for initiating an application are described. In one aspect a method includes: providing within a hybrid record access application, a selectable option to access an attachment associated with a record, the record being associated with one of a plurality of sandboxes, the hybrid record access application configured to access records associated with the plurality of sandboxes, the plurality of sandboxes configured to prevent data from moving between different sandboxes; and initiating within the sandbox associated with the record, an application to access the attachment when selection of the selectable option is received.
Claims24
A processor-implemented method comprising:
- within a single instance of a hybrid record access application, providing access to records associated with a plurality of sandboxes, the sandboxes configured to prevent data movement between different sandboxes;
- displaying, within the hybrid record access application, a selectable option to access an attachment associated with one of the records associated with one of the plurality of sandboxes;
- and
- in response to receiving selection of the selectable option to access the attachment, initiating an application to access the attachment within the sandbox associated with the record associated with that attachment.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- a memory storing records associated with a plurality of sandboxes, the sandboxes configured to prevent data from moving between different sandboxes;
- and
- a processor coupled with the display and the memory, the processor being configured to:
- within a single instance of a hybrid record access application, provide access to records associated with a plurality of sandboxes, the sandboxes configured to prevent data movement between different sandboxes;
- display, within the hybrid record access application, a selectable option to access an attachment associated with one of the records associated with one of the plurality of sandboxes;
- and
- in response to receiving selection of the selectable option to access the attachment, initiate an application to access the attachment within the sandbox associated with the record associated with that attachment.
A non-transitory processor readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instruction which, when executed, cause a processor to:
- within a single instance of a hybrid record access application, provide access to records associated with a plurality of sandboxes, the sandboxes configured to prevent data movement between different sandboxes;
- display, within the hybrid record access application, a selectable option to access an attachment associated with one of the records associated with one of the plurality of sandboxes;
- and
- in response to receiving selection of the selectable option to access the attachment, initiate an application to access the attachment within the sandbox associated with the record associated with that attachment.
