Systems and methods for implementing multi-application tabs and tab sets
First Claim
1. A computer based method for creating an application functionality, comprising:
- determining a first tabset and a second tabset, each of the tabsets including tabs, wherein one or more of the tabs provides a user access to data objects or application elements of one or more applications;
presenting the first tabset to an end user; and
providing to the end user a persistent tabset selector for enabling the user to selectively display the first and second tabsets if more than one tabset is available to the end user, wherein the tabset selector is visible as continuously part of a primary window of an application-level interface, wherein the primary window renders the data objects or application elements.

Abstract
A sharing model enables users to easily and conveniently create and share standard and custom database objects, and applications, among users or groups of users. The sharing model includes systems and methods that allow users to conveniently create and customize tabs and tab sets that define relationships between custom objects and fields, standard objects and fields, and applications. A tab visually represents a user interface into an element of an application or into a database object. Selection of a tab provides a user access to the object or element of the application represented by the tab. A tab set is a group of related tabs that work as a unit to provide application functionality. New tabs and tab sets may be defined and tab set views may be customized so that an end user can easily and conveniently switch between the various objects and application elements represented by the displayed tabs and tab set views.

22. A computer based system for creating an application functionality, comprising:
-
one or more processors configured to perform operations including; determining a first tabset and a second tabset, each of the tab sets including tabs, wherein one or more of the tabs provides access to data objects of at least one database system or application elements of one or more applications; presenting the first tabset to an end user; and providing to the end user a persistent tabset selector for enabling the end user to selectively display the first and second tabsets if more than one tabset is available to the end user, wherein the tabset selector is visible as continuously part of a primary window of an application-level interface, wherein the primary window renders the data objects or application elements. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A computer readable storage medium storing program code for causing a computer to perform the steps of:
-
determining a first tabset and a second tabset, each of the tabsets including tabs, wherein one or more of the tabs provides access to data objects of at least one database system or application elements of one or more applications; presenting the first tabset to an end user; and providing to the end user a persistent tabset selector for enabling the user to selectively display the first and second tabsets if more than tabset is available to the end user, wherein the tabset selector is visible as continuously part of a primary window of an application-level interface, wherein the primary window renders the data objects or application elements.
