A communication device operable by a first user, the device comprising: a transceiver; a user interface configured for communicating with a user of the communication device; and a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and to the user interface and configured for receiving, via the user interface and from a first user, a first search query, for receiving, from a second user distinct from the first user, a second search query, and for performing a search, the search based, at least in part, on a logical combination of the first and second search queries; wherein the search is based on aspects of situational awareness consisting of: a location of the first user when specifying the first search query, a location of the second user when specifying the second search query, a time-of-day when the first search query is specified, a time-of-day when the second search query is specified, image data captured when the first search query is specified, image data captured when the second search query is specified, sound data captured when the first search query is specified, sound data captured when the second search query is specified, a presence of another member of a group that includes the first user and the second user when the first search query is specified, and a presence of another member of a group that includes the first user and the second user when the second search query is specified.

31. A method as in claim 28 , wherein a step for creating a control file further comprises: i) by using a user interface for a spreadsheet loader, selecting the business object in an object tree section of the user interface, wherein the selection of the business object opens a list of attributes for the selected business object in an attributes tab section of the user interface; ii) dragging and dropping the attributes for the selected business object into columns of a spreadsheet data area of the user interface, the spreadsheet data area reflecting a spreadsheet dataset that is to be loaded by the spreadsheet loader; iii) using the drop and dragged attributes, mapping the columns into which the attributes were dragged to the business objects of the dragged attributes; iv) generating a control file reflecting the mapping step a)(iii).
