| 20090006367 | SEARCH-BASED FILTERING FOR PROPERTY GRIDS - Technologies for search-based filtering of a property grid. Such filtering allows a user to enter a search term into an easily recognized search text box, or apply a user or pre-defined term to a property grid, thus reducing the set of properties visible so that the user has a smaller list to search to find the one on which they desire to operate. The search term is typically applied to all properties shown in the property grid. Elements that match the search term are made visible in an updated property grid while those that do not match are not presented. Also, the search term may be applied to more than just the name of the property. It may be applied to a category within which the property appears, the type of the property, or any of a number of attributes or tags that may be applied to the property. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20100235769 | SMOOTH LAYOUT ANIMATION OF CONTINUOUS AND NON-CONTINUOUS PROPERTIES - A layout animation system is described herein that performs smooth transitions for properties of a layout, regardless of whether the layout properties are discrete or automatically calculated. Before a transition is executed, the layout animation system extracts and stores the positioning, sizing, and visibility of participating elements across the layout hierarchy. The system places the affected elements in the same position, size, and visibility as the outgoing state requests and animates the elements to an incoming state. For each element, the system calculates a smooth animation that transforms the element from the outgoing position, size, and visibility to the incoming position, size, and visibility. The system then animates the elements over a desired transition time. Thus, the layout animation system provides the ability to create smooth layout transitions in the presence of automatic layout management for properties of various types. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20080201766 | Efficient data structures for multi-dimensional security - Efficient data structures are generated to enforce permissions on a multi-dimensional representation in a performance management application. A model site is generated having at least one model with at least one dimension. User permissions and group permissions are set for the model. The user permission and the group permissions are deployed to a relational database. A collective user permission table is generated based on the user permissions and the group permissions. Thus, an end user may receive permissions associated with a model and permissions associated with particular dimensions of a model without an inefficient consumption of resources. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080208666 | Business process modeling to facilitate collaborative data submission - Technologies are described herein for modeling business processes that facilitate the collaborative submission of data in a WFM system by modeling business processes in terms of cycles and assignments. A cycle defines a scenario for the business process along with a window of time in which the business process should be executed. Assignments are work activities that are defined within each cycle. A cycle definition is created for each business cycle within a business process. Each cycle definition includes data defining a recurrence pattern for the business cycle and data defining a time period in which one or more contributors to the business cycle may contribute data. Each cycle definition also includes one or more assignment definitions that define the scope, contributors, approvers, validation rules, deadlines, and data forms that should be used for the assignment. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080208918 | Efficient data handling representations - Embodiments are provided to use metadata to provide readable and/or writeable regions of a multi-dimensional space. In an embodiment, metadata can be used to define readable and/or writeable regions of a multi-dimensional data store. The various embodiments also use relational and/or multi-dimensional representations to resolve and validate readable and/or writeable regions of a multi-dimensional space. Metadata can also be used to designate a number of writeable and/or readable regions of a relational and/or multi-dimensional representation. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080209435 | Scalable workflow management system - A scalable workflow management system is provided that includes queues for storing work items to be processed. Work items may be placed into the queues by front-end services executing within the workflow management system. When a work item is placed on a queue, it remains on the queue until an appropriate back-end service is available to de-queue the work item, validate the de-queued work item, and process the de-queued work item. Separate queues are provided for storing normal work items, work items generated according to a time schedule, and work items generated by job launching services. The state of operation of the workflow management system may be controlled by an administrative console application. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080255974 | Techniques to manage financial performance data exchange with standard taxonomies - Techniques to manage financial performance data are described. An apparatus may include an online analytical processing database with a multidimensional data model, and a business information exchange module communicatively coupled to the online analytical processing database. The business information exchange module may import a taxonomy to the multidimensional data model, create a business model using the multidimensional data model, and export financial data from the business model to an extensible business reporting language instance document. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090133132 | Secure Authoring and Execution of User-Entered Database Programming - A secure framework for authoring and execution of user-entered database scripts, rules, procedures and other forms of programming is provided. A performance management application is used as an interface between a client data modeling, manipulation or analysis application and one or more data sources or analysis services to prevent malicious or inadvertent implementation of harmful, damaging and/or unauthorized new or modified scripts, rules, procedures or other forms of programming to one or more data sources or data analysis/manipulation services that may be used for retrieving, storing, modifying or using data contained in or affected by the one or more data sources or data analysis/manipulation services. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090210422 | Secure Database Access - Secure database access may be provided. First, a first schema associated with a database having a second schema may be defined. Next, a user type may be defined. The user type may comprise a user type that does not require a log-in. The defined user type may then be associated with the defined first schema. Next, at least one permission may be granted to the user type to the database on a database level. The at least one permission may comprise a create procedure permission, a create table permission, or a create function permission. Then permission to the second schema may be denied to the user type. Next, a procedure may be received comprising a procedure that poses a high security risk to the database. The received procedure may then be executed as the defined user type. The received procedure may be executed using a wrapper procedure. | 08-20-2009 |
