Systems and methods for providing an email client interface with an integrated tabular data management interface

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing an email client interface that includes an integrated supplemental interface are provided. The supplemental interface provides access to data stored within a tabular data management system. The supplemental interface may present a form that is automatically generated based on a column layout in a sheet stored in the tabular data management system. The supplemental interface may automatically select a sheet to be opened based on information in an email message, and may automatically add information from the email message to the sheet. The tabular data management system may allow image data to be stored and displayed within cells of tabular data.

         8 . A method of storing and presenting tabular data, the method comprising:
 presenting a plurality of rows, wherein each row has a row height and a plurality of columns, wherein each column of the plurality of columns has a column width, and wherein each intersection of a row and a column is a cell;   receiving, by a computing device, a command to insert image data into a given cell;   retrieving, by the computing device, the image data based on the command;   causing, by the computing device, the image data to be stored in a data store; and   presenting, by the computing device, an image within the given cell using the image data.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein presenting the image within the given cell using the image data includes:
 receiving a command to change a row height or a column width associated with the given cell; and   resizing the image to fit within the changed row height or changed column width.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein presenting the image within the given cell using the image data includes:
 receiving a command to insert a row above a row of the given cell or a column to the left of a column of the given cell; and   maintaining the presented image within the given cell after inserting the row or the column.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein presenting the image within the given cell using the image data includes:
 receiving a command to reorder the plurality of rows or the plurality of columns; and   maintaining the presented image within the given cell after reordering the rows or the columns.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein presenting the image within the given cell using the image data includes:
 receiving a command to hide or filter a row above a row of the given cell or to hide or filter a column to the left of a column of the given cell; and   maintaining the presented image within the given cell after hiding or filtering the row or the column.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein retrieving the image data based on the command includes automatically retrieving inline image data from an email message or retrieving image data from an image attachment from an email message.
