U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/______, entitled METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A FLEXIBLE-DATA COLUMN USER INTERFACE, by Marni Alyse Gasn et al., filed Dec. 24, 2007 Attorney Docket No. 48-11/052US.
The current invention relates generally to presentation of characteristics of data in a database network system.
The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also be inventions.
In conventional database systems, users access their data resources in one logical database. A user of such a conventional system typically retrieves data from and stores data on the system using the user's own systems. A user system might remotely access one of a plurality of server systems that might in turn access the database system. Data retrieval from the system might include the issuance of a query from the user system to the database system. The database system might process the request for information received in the query and send to the user system information relevant to the request. The ease of use of accurate information and subsequent delivery of this information to the user system in a manner that is convenient is desirable.
Unfortunately, conventional database approaches might be inflexible or awkward to use when, for example, the user desires to change which characteristics associated with a set of data are presented to the user. In some systems, only the administrator can change which properties the user can see with a set of data.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide techniques enabling the user to easily change which characteristics of a set of data are presented to the user to improve the ease of use of the database system.
In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for a flexible-data column user interface. These mechanisms and methods for a flexible-data column user interface can enable embodiments to provide a presentation of characteristics of data, where the user may change which characteristics are presented to the user. A characteristic of the data is information about the data or associated with the data. For example, if the data is a list of identifiers of documents, the characteristics may be information about the documents, such as the size of the file containing the document, when the document was last modified, the person that last modified that document, the subject matter of the document, and/or other document information. The flexible-data columns are flexible in that the user may use the same column for presenting different data and/or data in a different format (e.g., the user can change the format of the data in a flexible-data column from textual to graphical and/or make other changes to the data). In this specification, the term document refers to a collection of data that is grouped together as a single entity. The term document is generic to a file, a folder, a webpage, a collection of webpages, an image, as well as a text-based document. The ability of embodiments to allow a user to change which characteristics are presented to the user can enable the system to be used more easily. In embodiments there are provided techniques for flexibly displaying information into one or more columns. One technique includes the user interface (UI) receiving from an end user a selection of characteristics or display criteria configured by an administrative user. Display criteria are characteristics of a document that are capable of being used to determine the order in which the data is used and/or whether the data is displayed. Data from a dataset may be selected and/or ordered for displaying with the characteristic or according to the criterion selected by the end user. Alternative embodiments may provide displaying positive and negative data, sorting, and fixed locations.
In an embodiment and by way of example, a method for flexible-data column user interface is provided. The method embodiment may include receiving a set of characteristics from a first user, which may have an administrative role. The set of characteristics may be sent to a second user, which may be in an end-user role. The second user may be capable of selecting at least one of the characteristics from the set of characteristics. In response to the selection, the dataset may be displayed to the second user with the selected characteristics. Optionally, the dataset may be sorted into an order that is based on the selected characteristic. In an embodiment, displaying the dataset to the second user based on the selected characteristic, may be performed by at least one of selecting data to be displayed from the dataset according to the characteristic and ordering the data to be displayed according to the characteristic.
While the present invention is described with reference to an embodiment in which techniques for flexible-data column user interface are implemented in a system having an application server providing a front end for an on-demand database service capable of supporting multiple tenants, the present invention is not limited to multi-tenant databases nor deployment on application servers. Embodiments may be practiced using other database architectures, i.e., ORACLE�, DB2�by IBM and the like without departing from the scope of the embodiments claimed.
Any of the above embodiments may be used alone or together with one another in any combination. Inventions encompassed within this specification may also include embodiments that are only partially mentioned or alluded to or are not mentioned or alluded to at all in this brief summary or in the abstract. Although various embodiments of the invention may have been motivated by various deficiencies with the prior art, which may be discussed or alluded to in one or more places in the specification, the embodiments of the invention do not necessarily address any of these deficiencies. In other words, different embodiments of the invention may address different deficiencies that may be discussed in the specification. Some embodiments may only partially address some deficiencies or just one deficiency that may be discussed in the specification, and some embodiments may not address any of these deficiencies.
In the following drawings like reference numbers are used to refer to like elements. Although the following figures depict various examples of the invention, the invention is not limited to the examples depicted in the figures.
Systems and methods are provided for flexible-data column user interface.
As used herein, the term multi-tenant database system refers to those systems in which various elements of hardware and software of the database system may be shared by one or more customers. For example, a given application server may simultaneously process requests for a great number of customers, and a given database table may store rows for a potentially much greater number of customers. As used herein, the term query plan refers to a set of steps used to access information in a database system. A pick list may allow users to choose what the users would like to see on the page without adding extra clutter to the page. A pick list is a list of one or more items that the user may choose from. For example, the pick list may include a plurality of items and/or may be a pull down menu. The user may choose to sort by this additional data. When a search is performed the column defaults to sorting the list by relevance. The user may sort by other values instead of relevance. Unlike other search engines on the web, the user may return back to "sort by relevance." In an embodiment, the user may choose between a textual or graphical display of data. In an embodiment, the administrator may give flexibility to the user through the front-end UI instead of digging through a setup. In an embodiment, an administrator may control the characteristics that appear in the pick list. The flexible-data column may (optionally) be used in conjunction with a document sharing system.
In an embodiment, selecting a column causes the header to become bold. In an embodiment there may be multiple flexible-data columns. In an embodiment, there are multiple flexible-data columns and the headers of the columns appear as normal text headers. In an embodiment, drop down menus will only appear when the title is either hovered over or clicked upon. In an embodiment, columns, including the flexible-data columns, may be dragged from one location to another.
Next, mechanisms and methods for providing flexible-data column user interface will be described with reference to example embodiments.
Environment 10 is an environment in which an on-demand database service exists. User system 12 may be any machine or system that is used by a user to access a database user system. For example, any of user systems 12 can be a handheld computing device, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a work station, and/or a network of computing devices. As illustrated in
An on-demand database service, such as system 16, is a pre-established database system that is made available to outside users that do not need to necessarily be concerned with building and/or maintaining the database system, but instead may be available for their use when the users need the database system (e.g., on the demand of the users). Some on-demand database services may store information from one or more tenants stored into tables of a common database image to form a multi-tenant database system (MTS). Accordingly, "on-demand database service 16" and "system 16" will be used interchangeably herein. A database image may include one or more database objects. A relational database management system (RDMS) or the equivalent may execute storage and retrieval of information against the database object(s). Application platform 18 may be a framework that allows the applications of system 16 to run, such as the hardware and/or software, e.g., the operating system. In an embodiment, on-demand database service 16 may include an application platform 18 that enables creating, managing, and executing one or more applications developed by the provider of the on-demand database service, users accessing the on-demand database service via user systems 12, or third party application developers accessing the on-demand database service via user systems 12.
The users of user systems 12 may differ in their respective capacities, and the capacity of a particular user system 12 might be entirely determined by permissions (permission levels) for the current user. For example, where a salesperson is using a particular user system 12 to interact with system 16, that user system has the capacities allotted to that salesperson. However, while an administrator is using that user system to interact with system 16, that user system has the capacities allotted to that administrator. In systems with a hierarchical role model, users at one permission level may have access to applications, data, and database information accessible by a lower permission level user, but may not have access to certain applications, database information, and data accessible by a user at a higher permission level. Thus, different users will have different capabilities with regard to accessing and modifying application and database information, depending on a user's security or permission level.
Network 14 is any network or combination of networks of devices that communicate with one another. For example, network 14 can be any one or any combination of a LAN (local area network), WAN (wide area network), telephone network, wireless network, point-to-point network, star network, token ring network, hub network, or other appropriate configuration. As the most common type of computer network in current use is a TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol and Internet Protocol) network, such as the global internetwork of networks often referred to as the "Internet" with a capital "I," that network will be used in many of the examples herein. However, it should be understood that the networks that the present invention might use are not so limited, although TCP/IP is a frequently implemented protocol.
User systems 12 might communicate with system 16 using TCP/IP and, at a higher network level, use other common Internet protocols to communicate, such as HTTP, FTP, AFS, WAP, etc. In an example where HTTP is used, user system 12 might include an HTTP client commonly referred to as a "browser" for sending and receiving HTTP messages to and from an HTTP server at system 16. Such an HTTP server might be implemented as the sole network interface between system 16 and network 14, but other techniques might be used as well or instead. In some implementations, the interface between system 16 and network 14 includes load sharing functionality, such as round-robin HTTP request distributors to balance loads and distribute incoming HTTP requests evenly over a plurality of servers. At least as for the users that are accessing that server, each of the plurality of servers has access to the MTS' data; however, other alternative configurations may be used instead.
In one embodiment, system 16, shown in
One arrangement for elements of system 16 is shown in
Several elements in the system shown in
According to one embodiment, each system 16 is configured to provide webpages, forms, applications, data, and media content to user (client) systems 12 to support the access by user systems 12 as tenants of system 16. As such, system 16 provides security mechanisms to keep each tenant's data separate unless the data is shared. If more than one MTS is used, they may be located in close proximity to one another (e.g., in a server farm located in a single building or campus), or they may be distributed at locations remote from one another (e.g., one or more servers located in city A and one or more servers located in city B). As used herein, each MTS could include one or more logically and/or physically connected servers distributed locally or across one or more geographic locations. Additionally, the term "server" is meant to include a computer system, including processing hardware and process space(s), and an associated storage system and database application (e.g., OODBMS or RDBMS) as is well known in the art. It should also be understood that "server system" and "server" are often used interchangeably herein. Similarly, the database object described herein can be implemented as single databases, a distributed database, a collection of distributed databases, a database with redundant online or offline backups or other redundancies, etc., and might include a distributed database or storage network and associated processing intelligence.
User system 12, network 14, system 16, tenant data storage 22, and system data storage 24 were discussed above in
Application platform 18 includes an application setup mechanism 38 that supports application developers' creation and management of applications, which may be saved as metadata into tenant data storage 22 by save routines 36 for execution by subscribers as one or more tenant process spaces 104 managed by tenant management process 110 for example. Invocations to such applications may be coded using PL/SOQL 34 that provides a programming language style interface extension to API 32. A detailed description of some PL/SOQL language embodiments is discussed in commonly owned co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/828,192 entitled, PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EXTENDING APIS TO EXECUTE IN CONJUNCTION WITH DATABASE APIS, by Craig Weissman, filed Oct. 4, 2006, which is incorporated in its entirety herein for all purposes. Invocations to applications may be detected by one or more system processes, which manages retrieving application metadata 116 for the subscriber making the invocation and executing the metadata as an application in a virtual machine.
Each application server 100 may be communicably coupled to database systems, e.g., having access to system data 25 and tenant data 23, via a different network connection. For example, one application server 100 1 might be coupled via the network 14 (e.g., the Internet), another application server 100 N-1 might be coupled via a direct network link, and another application server 100 N might be coupled by yet a different network connection. Transfer Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) are typical protocols for communicating between application servers 100 and the database system. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that other transport protocols may be used to optimize the system depending on the network interconnect used.
In certain embodiments, each application server 100 is configured to handle requests for any user associated with any organization that is a tenant. Because it is desirable to be able to add and remove application servers from the server pool at any time for any reason, there is preferably no server affinity for a user and/or organization to a specific application server 100. In one embodiment, therefore, an interface system implementing a load balancing function (e.g., an F5 Big-IP load balancer) is communicably coupled between the application servers 100 and the user systems 12 to distribute requests to the application servers 100. In one embodiment, the load balancer uses a least connections algorithm to route user requests to the application servers 100. Other examples of load balancing algorithms, such as round robin and observed response time, also can be used. For example, in certain embodiments, three consecutive requests from the same user could hit three different application servers 100, and three requests from different users could hit the same application server 100. In this manner, system 16 is multi-tenant, wherein system 16 handles storage of, and access to, different objects, data and applications across disparate users and organizations.
As an example of storage, one tenant might be a company that employs a sales force where each salesperson uses system 16 to manage their sales process. Thus, a user might maintain contact data, leads data, customer follow-up data, performance data, goals and progress data, etc., all applicable to that user's personal sales process (e.g., in tenant data storage 22). In an example of a MTS arrangement, since all of the data and the applications to access, view, modify, report, transmit, calculate, etc., can be maintained and accessed by a user system having nothing more than network access, the user can manage his or her sales efforts and cycles from any of many different user systems. For example, if a salesperson is visiting a customer and the customer has Internet access in their lobby, the salesperson can obtain critical updates as to that customer while waiting for the customer to arrive in the lobby.
While each user's data might be separate from other users' data regardless of the employers of each user, some data might be organization-wide data shared or accessible by a plurality of users or all of the users for a given organization that is a tenant. Thus, there might be some data structures managed by system 16 that are allocated at the tenant level while other data structures might be managed at the user level. Because an MTS might support multiple tenants including possible competitors, the MTS should have security protocols that keep data, applications, and application use separate. Also, because many tenants may opt for access to an MTS rather than maintain their own system, redundancy, up-time, and backup are additional functions that may be implemented in the MTS. In addition to user-specific data and tenant-specific data, system 16 might also maintain system level data usable by multiple tenants or other data. Such system level data might include industry reports, news, postings, and the like that are sharable among tenants.
In certain embodiments, user systems 12 (which may be client systems) communicate with application servers 100 to request and update system-level and tenant-level data from system 16 that may require sending one or more queries to tenant data storage 22 and/or system data storage 24. System 16 (e.g., an application server 100 in system 16) automatically generates one or more SQL statements (e.g., one or more SQL queries) that are designed to access the desired information. System data storage 24 may generate query plans to access the requested data from the database.
Each database can generally be viewed as a collection of objects, such as a set of logical tables, containing data fitted into predefined categories. A "table" is one representation of a data object, and may be used herein to simplify the conceptual description of objects and custom objects according to the present invention. It should be understood that "table" and "object" may be used interchangeably herein. Each table generally contains one or more data categories logically arranged as columns or fields in a viewable schema. Each row or record of a table contains an instance of data for each category defined by the fields. For example, a CRM database may include a table that describes a customer with fields for basic contact information such as name, address, phone number, fax number, etc. Another table might describe a purchase order, including fields for information such as customer, product, sale price, date, etc. In some multi-tenant database systems, standard entity tables might be provided for use by all tenants. For CRM database applications, such standard entities might include tables for Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity data, each containing pre-defined fields. It should be understood that the word "entity" may also be used interchangeably herein with "object" and "table".
In some multi-tenant database systems, tenants may be allowed to create and store custom objects, or they may be allowed to customize standard entities or objects, for example by creating custom fields for standard objects, including custom index fields. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/817,161, filed Apr. 2, 2004, entitled "Custom Entities and Fields in a Multi-Tenant Database System", and which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, teaches systems and methods for creating custom objects as well as customizing standard objects in a multi-tenant database system. In certain embodiments, for example, all custom entity data rows are stored in a single multi-tenant physical table, which may contain multiple logical tables per organization. It is transparent to customers that their multiple "tables" are in fact stored in one large table or that their data may be stored in the same table as the data of other customers.
Process 300 may be an embodiment of one tenant processes 104. Process 300 may include processes for various applications that are tailored for the needs of the corresponding tenant. Administrator tools 302 include various tools that an administrator of the tenant may use to manage the tenant data and end users associated with the tenant.
Configure UI 304 includes tools for configuring the user interface for the end user. Select fixed columns 306 are tools that are used for selecting the characteristics that are listed in the user interface 30, which the end user cannot change, and optionally may be presented in column format. In an embodiment, the data is displayed in columns. For example, one column may have a set of identifiers for documents (e.g., one identifier, such as a title, for each of document), and a set of values for each characteristic may be listed in each of the different columns. Thus, in this embodiment, by selecting the characteristic, the columns that are displayed are chosen. Compose column choices 308 include one or more tools for selecting the criterion that are available to an end user from which the end user may choose. For example, there may be one or more columns for which the end-user may choose the characteristic that the column represents. There may be a menu of characteristics to which the user may set the column, and the administrator may be able to use compose column choices 308 to select the characteristic. Other admin tools 310 may include other administrative tools, such as tools for controlling the nature of the login process or for resetting passwords, downloading or uploading data.
User tools 312 include tools for a user to interact with data associated with the tenant. Sort 314 is a tool that sorts the data according to one of the characteristics selected. The characteristics may be referred to as ordering criteria or just criterion or criteria for short, because the characteristics are used as criteria for ordering the document with the UI. Filter 316 is a tool for selecting a filter to remove data from the list of data displayed based on the characteristics. Search 316 is a tool for searching for data meeting a particular criterion, such as having a particular alphanumeric string in the description of the data. Choose column content 318 is a tool via which the user chooses a characteristic from the choices selected by the administrator. For example, if the characteristics are listed in a menu, the user chooses a desired characteristic from the menu. Other user tools 322 are other tools that a user may use for other purposes, such as changing a password, personalizing the user interface, and manipulating data.
Compose UI 324 includes instructions for composing a UI. The instructions may include parameters that are changed to reflect options chosen via administrative tool 302 and/or user tool 312. In an embodiment, the set of instructions in compose UI 324 may be altered depending on the choices made by the administrator and/or user. Other tenant applications 326 may include other applications that the tenant may use.
Webpage 400 is for viewing the portion of the content in an online database that is relevant to the tenant. Webpage 400 may be part of UI 30. In an embodiment, webpage 400 may be created by compose UI 324. Home tab 402 is the main page for webpage 400. Home tab 402 may be a link that brings the user to a webpage that has links to other parts of the website that are expected to be of particular interest and that are commonly accessed. Home tab 402 may contain a variety of windows from which information about various functions that are provided by the website may be monitored and altered. In an embodiment, each tenant and/or user may personalize the home page to include the features (e.g., widgets, links, windows, and/or views) that the users desire and/or that the tenant desires.
Workspaces tab 404 is a link to a workspaces webpage associated with the website and/or the portion of the database relevant to the tenant. A workspace is a location where files are stored and where users may share work with one another. Each workspace has membership, which is a group of users that are allowed to access the workspace. Each member may be assigned a certain level of access. For example, once a member is added, the administrator for the workspace (e.g., a workspace administrator) may assign or may be required to assign an access level. The types of activities and the types of items that are permitted by a given access level may be set by an administrator for organization (e.g., an organizational administrator). In an embodiment, the workspace administrator and organizational administrator may be different roles or different features of different roles that may be assigned to different people. 100661 Content tab 406 is a tab that brings the user to the current webpage (a content webpage), which is displayed in
Subscriptions 408 brings the user to a page that allows the user to view and/or alter subscriptions. Subscriptions are information that is forwarded to the user periodically and/or every time a particular event occurs. For example, a user may have a type of subscription to an article such that (as a result of the subscription) every time the article is updated, the user receives an email notification. Contribute tab 410 may bring the user to a webpage (e.g., a content detail page) that allows the user to make contributions by uploading a document.
Clear filter 412 is a link that causes any filters that are set to be cleared. Filters remove some of the data from the data that is displayed by restricting the data being displayed to contain certain specified characteristics. Search fields window 414 allows the user to select a field to which the search will be limited. In an embodiment, search fields window 414 is associated with a pull down menu that lists the workspaces and/or combinations of workspaces to which the user has access and is allowed to search. Selecting one of the menu items causes the name, description, or identifier to appear in search fields window 414, and the search will be limited to the workspace or combination of workspaces that is identified in search fields window 414. Search term windows 416 allows the user to enter a string of alphanumeric characters. Upon initiating the search, a search will be conducted within the workspaces indicated in search fields window 414 for documents having the alphanumeric string that is in search term window 416. In other embodiments, there may be other search features present and/or there may be basic search and an advanced search having more features and fields that can be searched.
Show 418 lists the number of documents that the user wants to be displayed on a given page. If the number is large enough the user will not be able to see the entire page of data simultaneously on one screen. Tags 420 is a box which when selected causes a list of the tags associated with a particular document to be listed under the document. Similarly, when tags 420 is not selected, the tags do not appear under the title of the document. Sort icon 421 is optional, and may be placed next a flexible-data column or other column. When turned off, sort icon 421 displays as a gray triangle. In an embodiment, when a user wishes to sort by the values currently listed, the user clicks on (or selects) sort icon 421, and sort icon 421 turns yellow to indicate the sort. In other embodiments, sort icon 421 may have other shapes, such as arrows, squares, or circles. In other embodiments, sort icon 421 may have other colors indicating whether the data is sorted based on the characteristic associated with sort icon 421. In an embodiment, none of the sort icons are gray, clicking on title of a column activates sort icon 421 (sorting the documents in the order of the values of the characteristic of that column on), and sort icon always has the same color (e.g., yellow), for example.
Description 422 is a box that allows the user to select whether a description of each document appears in association with each document (e.g., directly under the title of each document). Download 424 is a link that causes a selected document to be downloaded. New 426 is a link that causes the user to be brought to a webpage for uploading new documents or adding new documents to a workspace. For example, new 426 may bring the user to the same page that contribute tab 410 brings the user. Next page 428 is a link that causes the next page of the list of document to be displayed.
Hover box 430 is a box of information that appears when the user hovers the mouse over and/or near the title of a document. Hover box 430 may include download link 432, view link 434, and edit link 436, which allow the user to download, view, and edit the document displayed in hover box 430, respectively. Meta data 438 is meta data related to the document displayed in hover box 430. For example, meta data 438 may include the author of the document, an indication of when the document was created, a version number, an indication of the size of the document, an indication of how many times the document was downloaded, a listing of one or more workspaces where the document is located, and/or the number of comments. Votes 440 list the number of users that voted for or against the document. The number of votes listed may be the actual number of votes the document received or some votes may be given more weight than others. If some votes are given more weight than others, then votes 440 is a score indicative of the number of votes received.
Pull down menu 442 is a list of characteristics of the documents. Selecting a particular menu item on pull down menu 442 causes the value or a graphical representation of the value for that characteristic to appear in the column associated with pull down menu 442. Although in
Filters 444 are a list of filters that may used to reduce the number of documents displayed on webpage 400. The filters may be grouped according to type and may have check boxes for indicating which filters are selected. For example, the categories of filters may be file format, authors, tags, and/or workspaces. The category file format may list different file formats, which may correspond to the applications that created the file. Some file formats that may be included in filters 444 are Microsoft Word�, Novel WordPerfect�, Microsoft Excel�, Microsoft Power Point�, Adobe� PDF, JPEG, Bitmap, Text, Image, and/or Unknown. The author filters may list authors of documents, which may be a list of every author that is listed in a group of documents that make up the dataset and/or may be a list of all users that are authorized to be authors. Under the category tags, there may be a list of all tags that are in use within the set of documents. Under the category workspaces there may be a list of all workspaces that exist for sharing documents. Next to each filter there may be a number listed that indicates the number of documents that have the characteristic that is associated with the filter. Selecting multiple filters will limit the documents displayed to those documents that have all of the characteristics associated with each of the filters selected.
Identifiers 446 is a column that lists the titles (or other identifiers, such as filename) of the documents listed. In an embodiment, a description of the document appears below the title if description 422 is selected. In an embodiment, tags appear below the title if tags 420 is selected.
First characteristic 448, second characteristic 450, and third characteristics 452 are examples of fixed characteristics chosen by the administrator, which the user cannot change in the example of
Flexible characteristic 454 is a characteristic that the end-user may choose by selecting one of the menu items in pull down menu 442 (or in another pick list). In the example of
Webpage 400, home tab 402, workspaces tab 404, content tab 406, subscription tab 408, contribute tab 410, clear filters 412, search fields window 414, search term window 416, show 418, tags 420, sort icon 421, description 422, download 424, new 426, next page 428, pull down menu 442, filter 444, identifiers 446, first characteristic 448, second characteristic 450, third characteristic 452, and flexible characteristic 454 were discussed above in conjunction with
Webpage 500 differs from webpage 400 (
Home tab 402, workspaces tab 404, content tab 406, subscription tab 408, contribute tab 410, clear filters 412, search fields window 414, search term window 416, show 418, sort icon 421, download 424, filter 444, and identifiers 446 were discussed above in conjunction with
Display options 646 allow the user to choose whether to view the tags and/or descriptions of each document. Display options 646 may also allow the user to choose which characteristics are listed in each column and/or may allow the user to choose other options. First characteristic 648, second characteristic 650, third characteristic 652, and fourth characteristic 654 are similar to first characteristic 448, second characteristic 450, third characteristic 452, and flexible characteristic 454. However, first characteristic 648, second characteristic 650, third characteristic 652, and fourth characteristic 654 may be changed by the end-user even though no pull down menus are associated with the corresponding columns. The manner in which the characteristics that are displayed may be changed is described in conjunction with
Display options box 660 may be used to change display options, such as which characteristics are displayed and whether or not the tags and/or descriptions are displayed. Selecting display options 646 (
Move up 670 may be used to move a selected one of selected characteristics 664 up one position in the list of characteristics in selected characteristics 664. Move down 672 may be used to move a selected one of selected characteristics 664 down one position in the list of characteristics in selected characteristics 664. Move up 670 and move down 672 may be used to rearrange the order in which the characteristics listed in selected characteristics 664. The order in which the characteristics are listed in selected characteristics 664 corresponds to the order in which the characteristics appear in webpage 600 as a result of creating a list of selected characters via display options box 660. Show results 674, display tags 676, display description 678 have the same functions as show 418, tags 420, description 422, respectively, which was described in conjunction with
Home tab 402, workspaces tab 404, content tab 406, subscription tab 408, and contribute tab 410 were discussed in conjunction with
Content type 730 allows the user to specify or change the content type of a workspace. Delete 732 deletes a workspace. View workspace content 734 allows the user to view the content of the particular workspace. Contribute 735 allows the user to add a document to a workspace. Add member 736 allows an administrator to add a member to the workspace. Filter 738 allows the user to enter an alphanumeric string that may filter the data listed, so that only those documents having the alphanumeric string within the current workspace are listed. Clear 740 clears the alphanumeric string from the filter 738. Remove 742 allows a user to remove a member form the workspace. Edit 744 allows an administrator to change the level of access granted to a member or edit other information about the member. Name 746 is the name of the member. Permission 748 is the level of access to the current workspace granted to the corresponding member. Featured articles 750 is a location where an administrator may post a document for others to look at. Featured article 750 allows the administrator or another user having an appropriate level of access to bring attention to articles that do not have a high relevancy or high number of votes, but that the administrator or other user feels should be reviewed anyway. In an embodiment, top content 752 lists articles that have the highest relevancy. If no workspace is specified, top content lists the articles that have the highest relevance regardless of which workspace the document is associated with. New 754 allows the user to add a document to the current workspace. Category 756 allows the user to select a characteristic that will appear in the flexible-data column. As a result of changing category 756, the default for determining top content 752 changes. As a default, top content 752 lists the documents that have the highest value for the characteristic listed in category 756. Identifier 758 identifies a document. For example, identifier 758 may be a file name or the title of a document. Author 760 is the author of the article. Flexible characteristic 762 is the column that has the characteristic listed in category 756. Switch workspace 764 allows the user to switch to viewing a different workspace than currently being viewed. In an embodiment, selecting a workspace from a drop down menu associated with switch workspace 764 may change the workspace and may cause another workspace to be shown on workspace page 700. Sort 766 is a list of different criterion according to which tags may be sorted. For example, tags may be sorted so that the tags are listed alphabetically, listed in order of popularity, or listed in reverse order of popularity.
Tags 768 is a list of tags associated with different documents. Tags 768 are tags that are associated with or added to different documents. Tags 768 may be used for limiting the document that needs to be searched. Tags 768 may be keywords or phrases that one interested in finding a particular document is likely to associate with that documents. Tags 768 tag the documents. Tags 768 may be added by the user upon uploading and/or publishing documents, and may be used as search parameters. The values of tags 768 may be used as values of keys in a database. Using tags 768 may reduce the number of documents that need to be searched, because only documents having the tag values of interest need to be searched.
Recent activity 770 lists recent activities of the user, such as which documents have been accessed, how long ago the documents have been accessed, and the person that accessed documents. Most active contributor 772 lists the contributor that makes the most contributions.
Home tab 402, workspaces tab 404, content tab 406, subscription tab 408, and contribute tab 410 were described in conjunction with
Selecting one of the workspaces listed in my workspaces page 780 causes workspaces page 700 to be displayed. Workspaces page 780 may be reached from workspaces page 700 by selecting manage workspaces from switch workspaces 764 (
In step 902, the client system receives instructions for composing a UI, via which an administrator may configure an end user's UI, which includes tools for configuring the flexible characteristic. Step 902 may be performed in response to step 802 (
In step 904, the administrator's user system sends one or more instructions to the server, including choices for a fixed set of characteristics. For example, the end-user may send instructions that first characteristic 448 should be size, second characteristic 450 should be author, and third characteristic 452 should be last modified. Step 904 may be performed in response to step 902, and step 804 (
In step 906, the client system associated with the administrator may send a set of characteristics that the user may choose from, and to which the flexible characteristic may be set. For example, the administrator may send instructions to place within pull down menu 442 a particular list of characteristics as menu items, such as relevance, date published, author, downloads, ratings, comments, last modified, and subscriptions. In an embodiment step 906 may include sending multiple sets of characteristics (e.g., multiple pull down menus) to the server (for the server to eventually send to the end-user). Step 906 may also be performed in response to step 902, step 806 (
In step 908, one or more instructions are received from the server for composing a UI that indicates the fixed and flexible characteristics chosen. Step 908 may be performed in response to step 808 (
In optional step 1006, in response to step 1004, data for display is ordered in a particular sequence that is based on the fixed set of characteristics and/or the selected characteristic. In an embodiment, the ordering of the data may occur automatically. In another embodiment, the order of the data is not changed unless the user clicks on the column or on an icon near the column having a characteristic according to which the end-user wants the data to be sorted. In this embodiment, step 1006 includes receiving a selection of the icon prior to the ordering of the data. In an embodiment, as a default, the data is ordered according to relevance, and the more relevant the data, the higher in the list of documents the data appears. In an embodiment, the order of the data is changed from the default only in response to the user requesting the data be sorted according to another criterion, where the request may be in the form of clicking on the column containing that characteristic and/or in response to the user choosing a selection from the set of selectable characteristics. In step 1008, in response to steps 1004 and optionally in response to step 1006, one or more instructions for composing a UI having the fixed set of characteristics and the selected characteristic for the flexible characteristic are sent to the user. In an embodiment, each of the steps of method 1000 is a distinct step. In another embodiment, although depicted as distinct steps in
In step 1304, system 16 (
In step 1306, user system 12 is communicatively coupled to network 104. In step 1308, system 16 is communicatively coupled to network 104 allowing user system 12 and system 16 to communicate with one another (
In an alternative embodiment, the user may be notified of a modification of a document in a manner other than receiving an e-mail notification, such as by receiving a popup reminder when accessing the workspace or receiving a copy of the revised document. In an alternative embodiment, content tab 410 may bring the user to a web page that also allows the user to view comments about contributions that the user made. In an alternative embodiment, the contributions that the user may add via contribute tab 410 or via other portions of the webpages of
Each embodiment disclosed herein may be used or otherwise combined with any of the other-embodiments disclosed. Optionally, the color or shading of the column may be changed when flexible-data column 454 or another column is selected. In an embodiment, the embodiments of
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of the specific embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements as would be apparent to those skilled in the art.

HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format Printer NOT recognizin
g Black ink?!
HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format e-All-in-One Printer - E910a
Ink levels are definitely full. Whenever I try to print or photocopy something, everything comes out as mostly Cyan. I ran a print report, and every colour comes out clear except Black.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could try? It only started happening a few days ago... I remember photocopying something a week or two ago and black was fine.
Please help! Thanks.
Re: HP Officejet 7500A Wide Format Printer NOT recognizin
g Black ink?!
Hello tinysalmon, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are running into issues with your black ink output. I would love to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
After the reset, I would suggest following the steps in this document on The Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
I would also recommend utilizing this document on Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Internal Clock? New Study Shows We Have Two
We know we have an internal clock that shoots us awake when we've overslept, or gives us that hunching feeling our highway exit is approaching, but new research shows we actually have not one, but two. A study from neuroscientists at UC Irvine indicates that we actually have two internal clocks that keep track of different passages of time, such as the difference between 1 and 1.5 minutes, or 3 and 12 minutes.

Very true. We take everything for granted.
True. I learned that the hard way.

Not true.
Well, from the things I have lost, friends, family... The only reason I was ever upset was because I knew what I had lost, I knew how they helped hold me together before the thought of them being gone ever crossed my mind.
True in a lot of instances.
Hello Ms. Zoranna,

I would be a little more agreeable to your question if you would have worded it, "You don't APPRECIATE what you've got until it's gone."

Then, I would say that is generally true. Not necessarily always (for example: cancer), but generally true.

No, I don't growl! If anyone is to blame, it must be Me, because I didn't recognize those words as coming from a song! ... Cheers, ... And a Happy Year 2013 to you!!! .... AnonymousButCandid

"Superb Villa on the outskirts of Kalkan"
We had some issues in finding the villa on arrival into Kalkan as there are no road names therefore, I would recommend that some clear instructions are provided to upcoming visitors as our taxi drove around the streets for 30 mins trying to find where we were staying. The villa itself is beautiful with fantastic views however, unless you are extremely fit there is no way you can walk to the front in the suggested timescales without breaking an ankle. Give yourself a good half an hour to stroll down carefully as there are some pretty steep unsafe roads. Get a cab back unless you are Mo Farah. As before, the villa is great - could do with a few basics to make it better I.e. Scissors, bottle opener, beach towels etc

As indignation turned to outrage Thursday among critics of an ABC News prime-time special on President Obama's health care policy, The Washington Times has learned that ABC employees gave 80 times as much money to Mr. Obama's 2008 campaign for president than to his rival's.
According to an analysis of campaign donations by the Center for Responsive Politics, conducted at The Times' request, ABC employees in several divisions donated $124,421 to the Obama campaign, compared with $1,550 to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain.
The 60-minute ABC program, to air live from the White House on Wednesday, is sparking hardball politics in other ways. Grass-roots boycotts, Republican outcry and a study citing media bias are all part of the mix.
A study released Thursday by the Business & Media Institute (BMI) found that since Inauguration Day, ABC has aired news stories with positive reviews of Mr. Obama's health care policy 55 times, compared with 18 times when the network highlighted negative reviews.
Citing Census Bureau figures, the BMI analyses also accused ABC of "exaggerating the breadth of the uninsured problem," saying the network's claim that up to 50 million Americans are uninsured is false.
"ABC is in bed with their source, so to speak. ABC is supposed to be a news organization, not a producer of infomercials for national health care. And I wonder what they would have done if the Bush administration had asked for positive programming to support the war on terror or Social Security initiatives," said Dan Gainor, BMI vice president of business and culture.
Longtime Democratic strategist Tad Devine, however, said he detected the vast right-wing conspiracy of the last Democratic administration, and warned Republicans that complaining could backfire.
"It's the same old, same old from Republicans. People who run political parties have a responsibility to get their side of the story out, and they're attacking ABC to do that. ABC is the vehicle," said Mr. Devine, whose Democratic roots go back to the presidential ticket of Jimmy Carter and Walter F. Mondale.
"Republicans think they must undercut news organizations who give President Obama favorable coverage - or they will lose elections. They're going to go after anyone who gives Obama a showcase," Mr. Devine said. "But it could backfire. If the GOP keeps this up, everyone will tune into that ABC special on Wednesday."
An informal online poll at the New York Daily News on Thursday found that 75 percent of the respondents did not "trust" ABC to provide even-handed coverage. And conservative bloggers have been intensely critical of ABC in recent days.
"I'm not watching ABC entertainment, and I'm not watching their news programming either," said New York-based Karen Dougherty, who writes LonelyConservative.com, one of many blogs issuing a call for boycotts of ABC and its advertisers.
The broadcast, they say, is tantamount to an infomercial for the administration, made worse by the fact that ABC also will broadcast "World News Tonight" from the White House on Wednesday.
"It's not enough to say that ABC is exercising terrible journalistic judgment. The American public has to let ABC know that these decisions matter. As a believer in the marketplace, I think that an advertiser boycott is the way to deal with this unseemly display of media partisanship. After all, every American has a voice in the marketplace," said Sunny Berman of Bookwormroom.com, another conservative blog based in California.
An ABC executive responded to criticisms with the following:
"We welcome feedback from an audience in whatever form it might take. The top and bottom line is that we intend to produce a fair, probing and thoughtful discussion about a vitally important issue," said Jeffrey Schneider, senior vice president of ABC News communications.

The 2014 Volkswagen Eos convertible tosses the Lux trim, reducing the line up to just the Komfort, Sport and Executive models. VW's Car-Net telematics provides a myriad of services including automatic crash notification, remote vehicle access via smartphone app, and stolen-vehicle location.
The 2013 Volkswagen Eos convertible gains a new Sport trim that includes all the features found in the Komfort trim and adds 18-inch wheels, a lowered sport suspension, a rear spoiler, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifter and adaptive bi-xenon headlights.
As both coupe and convertible, the 2015 Volkswagen Eos is essentially two cars in one. This compact VW's dual personality comes thanks to a retractable hardtop. With roof in place, the Eos looks like a 2-door coupe. Press a button, and the roof retracts to transform the car into a sun-seeking convertible. The Eos isn't the only 4-passenger hardtop convertible, but it is the least expensive. Starting under $37,000, the VW Eos isn't exactly cheap but is still thousands less than the Lexus IS C and Infiniti Q60 Convertible. In addition to more premium amenities, those luxury rivals pack a V6, but the Eos' turbocharged 4-cylinder offers plenty of zip. If all this sounds appealing, act soon: 2015 is the final year for the VW Eos.
