SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-REFERENCING FEED ITEMS

摘要

Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for interacting with a record via a single user interface. The user interface includes a publisher and an information feed. A user may request to interact with the record from the publisher. Information may be submitted through the publisher to interact with the record to update the record. A feed item may be presented for inclusion in the information feed based on the update. One or more entities may be cross-referenced with the feed item so that the same feed item is provided in the feeds of each of the one or more entities. Identification of the entities to be cross-referenced with the feed item can come from data defined by a user in a payload, data defined by a system administrator, and/or record relationship information in a database system.
