Contextual backup and restore operations
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for providing contextual and dynamic views in a workspace are provided. A view can be based on contextual data from a workspace and page parameters that are associated with a location in the workspace. The view is then generated and loaded into the user interface of a workspace. Contextual data operations can be performed through the contextual and dynamically generated views.
1. A method for displaying a contextual view in a workspace of a web application, the method comprising:
embedding applications in multiple locations of a workspace, wherein each application at each location enables access to a data protection application without leaving the web application;
receiving a post from the web application when a first application at a location is accessed, wherein the post includes contextual information about content currently displayed in the workspace;
determining a browser type of a client accessing the first application, wherein the browser type is determined such that a standard browser is selected when the workspace is a computer and a mobile browser is selected when the workspace is a mobile device;
providing page parameters configured by the first application for the embedded applications of the workspace;
generating the contextual view of the data protection application based in part on the contextual information, the page parameters and the browser type; and
displaying the contextual view in the workspace of the web application at the location.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising navigating to the contextual view based on the post and the page parameters.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual view is styled with a form factor based on the location accessed in the workspace.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post specifies a context and the page parameters representing a specific view.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post identifies a context of a feed and the page parameters identify a size for the view presented in the feed.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post identifies a context of launching a full data protection application and where the page parameters specify view that includes a full web page.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post identifies a view of a specific object and wherein the page parameters specify a view that present a restore of the specific object, the view includes one or more versions of the specific object.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein all views are generated with a single code base.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual information includes information about the location of the workspace.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the location corresponds to a web page of the workspace.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the location corresponds to a feed of the workspace.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data protection application is located remote from the workspace.
13. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a control program that causes a processor to execute:
embedding applications in multiple locations of a workspace, wherein each application at each location enables access to a data protection application without leaving a web application;
receiving a post from the web application when a first application at a location is accessed, wherein the post includes contextual information about content currently displayed in the workspace;
determining a browser type of a client accessing the first application, wherein the browser type is determined such that a standard browser is selected when the workspace is a computer and a mobile browser is selected when the workspace is a mobile device;
providing page parameters configured by the first application for the embedded applications of the workspace;
generating a contextual view of the data protection application based in part on the contextual information, the page parameters and the browser type; and
displaying the contextual view in a workspace of the web application at the location.
14. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising navigating to the contextual view based on the post and the page parameters.
15. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the contextual view is styled with a form factor based on the location accessed in the workspace.
16. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the post specifies a context and the page parameters representing a specific view.
17. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the post identifies a context of a feed and the page parameters identify a size for the view presented in the feed.
18. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the post identifies a context of launching a full data protection application and where the page parameters specify view that includes a full web page.
19. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the post identifies a view of a specific object and wherein the page parameters specify a view that present a restore of the specific object, the view includes one or more versions of the specific object.
20. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 13 , wherein all views are generated with a single code base.
