Methods and apparatus for suppressing network feed activities using an information feed in an on-demand database service environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- processing, using a database system, data indicating a user action having occurred with respect to at least one record stored in at least one database of the database system, the user action being related to at least one of;
creating the at least one record, updating the at least one record, deleting the at least one record, or communicating information regarding the at least one record;
identifying, using the database system, a record type of the at least one record;
determining, using the database system, that the identified record type of the at least one record is a prohibited record type, the prohibited record type being a calendar event or task; and
prohibiting, responsive to determining that the identified record type is the prohibited record type, at least one of storing or displaying a communication associated with the user action as a feed item of a social network feed of a social networking system associated with the database system to cause the communication to be omitted from the feed when the feed is displayed in a user interface on a user device.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for suppressing network feed activities using an information feed in an on-demand database service environment. In one embodiment, a message is received, including data indicative of a user action. An entity associated with the user action is identified, where the entity is a type of record stored in a database. A type of the entity is identified. It is determined whether the entity type is a prohibited entity type. When the entity type is not a prohibited entity type, the message data is saved to one or more tables in the database. The tables are configured to store feed items of an information feed capable of being displayed on a device. When the entity type is a prohibited entity type, the saving of the message data, to the one or more tables in the database configured to store the feed items, is prohibited.
