Abstract:

A lack of available responsive options for existing web sites and/or pages, and the wide spectrum under which they fall presents a challenge for a satisfying mobile user experience (UX) with a hosted collaboration service. Templates used to create a site and/or page may each have capabilities and features which “cross-over” into other templates. Deconstructing and rendering a web page into a native application experience at a mobile client may highlight a template's functionality to enhance the UX. For example, a server side application programming interface (API) may be provided for the mobile UX, a type of a page to be rendered may be determined, the page may be deconstructed into pieces, and the deconstructed pieces may be provided to rebuild the page at the mobile client natively. The page may be rendered on the mobile client with added elements based on the deconstructed pieces to enhance the mobile UX.

Abstract:

A computing system comprises, in one example, a display system, an organization graph component configured to access an organization graph that represents users of an organization as nodes and connections between the nodes represent relationships between the users, an aggregate data surfacing system comprising an aggregation component configured to identify a given user and to aggregate user data, from a plurality of users, based on a relationship of the plurality of users to the given user in the organization graph, and a display system controller configured to control the display system to generate an aggregate data user interface display that visualizes at least a portion of the organization graph and displays a user interface element that represents the aggregated user data.
