Estimating the term…
A method for creating a field database object (DO) in a database system (DS) is provided. Prior to run-time: a first page associated with the DO is displayed via a user interface (UI) presented on a display device (DD); a request to create a field for the DO is received via the UI presented on the DD; field creation options for creating fields for the DO within the first page are displayed via the UI; a selection of one or more field creation options is received via the UI and communicated to the DS; and the field is created in the DS. During run-time, the DD is sent a second page to be displayed that is different than the first page, via the same UI presented on the DD that was displayed and used to receive the selection used to create the field using the first page.
A method for creating a field for a database object in a database system, the method comprising:
The method of claim 21, wherein the user interface presented on the display device is a web-based user interface and the first page is displayed via a web browser.
The method of claim 22, wherein the first page includes software instructions executable by the web browser to display the plurality of field creation options.
The method of claim 23, wherein the software instructions are Javascript software instructions.
The method of claim 21, wherein the database system is a multi-tenant system.
The method of claim 21, wherein the field creation options include at least a field type and a field name.
The method of claim 21, further including displaying, in response to the receipt of the request to create the field for the database object, a selectable option allowing creation of the field via a second user interface presented on the display device.
An apparatus comprising:
The apparatus of claim 28, wherein the user interface presented on the computing device is a web-based user interface and the page is displayed via a web browser running on the computing device.
The apparatus of claim 29, wherein the first page includes software instructions executable by the web browser to display the plurality of field creation options.
The apparatus of claim 30, wherein the software instructions are Javascript software instructions.
The apparatus of claim 28, wherein the database system is a multi-tenant system.
The apparatus of claim 28, wherein the field creation options include at least a field type and a field name.
The apparatus of claim 28, wherein the computing device is configured to display, in response to the receipt of the request to create the field for the database object, a selectable option allowing creation of the field via a second user interface presented on the computing device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for creating a field for a database object in a database system, which instructions, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of:
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 35, wherein the user interface presented on the computing device is a web-based user interface and the first page is displayed via a web browser.
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 36, wherein the first page includes software instructions executable by the web browser to display the plurality of field creation options.
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 37, wherein the software instructions are Javascript software instructions.
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 35, wherein the database system is a multi-tenant system.
The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 35, wherein the field creation options include at least a field type and a field name.
