Abstract
Systems and methods for providing contextual and dynamic views in a workspace are provided. A view can be based on contextual data from a workspace and page parameters that are associated with a location in the workspace. The view is then generated and loaded into the user interface of a workspace. Contextual data operations can be performed through the contextual and dynamically generated views.
Claims20
A method for displaying a contextual view in a workspace of a web application, the method comprising:
- embedding applications in multiple locations of a workspace, wherein each application at each location enables access to a data protection application without leaving the web application;
- receiving a post from the web application when a first application at a location is accessed, wherein the post includes contextual information about content currently displayed in the workspace;
- determining a browser type of a client accessing the first application, wherein the browser type is determined such that a standard browser is selected when the workspace is a computer and a mobile browser is selected when the workspace is a mobile device;
- providing page parameters configured by the first application for the embedded applications of the workspace;
- generating the contextual view of the data protection application based in part on the contextual information, the page parameters and the browser type;
- and
- displaying the contextual view in the workspace of the web application at the location.
A non-transitory storage medium that stores a control program that causes a processor to execute:
- embedding applications in multiple locations of a workspace, wherein each application at each location enables access to a data protection application without leaving a web application;
- receiving a post from the web application when a first application at a location is accessed, wherein the post includes contextual information about content currently displayed in the workspace;
- determining a browser type of a client accessing the first application, wherein the browser type is determined such that a standard browser is selected when the workspace is a computer and a mobile browser is selected when the workspace is a mobile device;
- providing page parameters configured by the first application for the embedded applications of the workspace;
- generating a contextual view of the data protection application based in part on the contextual information, the page parameters and the browser type;
- and
- displaying the contextual view in a workspace of the web application at the location.
