Abstract
In embodiments, methods and systems for customizing a user interface to an on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for customizing a user interface to an on-demand database service can enable embodiments to provide a user interface designed by a tenant of the on-demand database service. The customization can include including third party content into the customized user interface, overriding a standard object, and providing content inline at a specified location.
Claims20
A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code adapted to be executed to cause a computer to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a user device of a user associated with a first tenant of an on-demand database service, a plurality of customizations of a user interface, the plurality of customizations including:
- content stored locally on the user device, one or more information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user, and removal of a default button from a list view of the user interface;
- associating the customizations with the user;
- storing the customizations in the on-demand database service;
- receiving, from the user device, a request for one or more of the information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user;
- and
- sending, to the user device, the user interface modified according to the one or more of the customizations to generate a customized user interface, the customized user interface including a combination of the content stored locally on the user device and the requested information items, wherein the user interface is modified prior to receipt by the user device.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable to implement operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a user device of a user associated with a first tenant of an on-demand database service, a plurality of customizations of a user interface, the plurality of customizations including:
- content stored locally on the user device, one or more information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user, and removal of a default button from a list view of the user interface;
- associating the customizations with the user;
- storing the customizations in the on-demand database service;
- receiving, from the user device, a request for one or more of the information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user;
- and
- sending, to the user device, the user interface modified according to the customizations to generate a customized user interface, the customized user interface including a combination of the content stored locally on the user device and the requested information items, wherein the user interface is modified prior to receipt by the user device.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, from a user device of a user associated with a first tenant of an on-demand database service, a plurality of customizations of a user interface, the plurality of customizations including:
- content stored locally on the user device, one or more information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user, and removal of a default button from a list view of the user interface;
- associating the customizations with the user;
- storing the customizations in the on-demand database service;
- receiving, from the user device, a request for one or more of the information items associated with the user stored in the on-demand database service by the user;
- and
- sending, to the user device, the user interface modified according to the one or more of the customizations to generate a customized user interface, the customized user interface including a combination of the content stored locally on the user device and the requested information items, wherein the user interface is modified prior to receipt by the user device.
