Abstract
A method and system to track new submissions for an online forms service is provided. The system may include a request detector to detect a request to load a view (e.g., a web page) and a view provider to provide the view for display in response to the request. The view may comprise submission information for an electronic form and a value indicative of a number of new submissions.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, using at least one processor, a request to load a view that includes information identifying multiple submissions of a plurality of electronic forms, a submission of each electronic form of the plurality of electronic forms including an instance of the electronic form augmented with data provided by a user;
- tracking a number of new submissions of each of the electronic forms of the plurality of electronic forms using a submission counter that is separate from other counters, a new submission being a submission of the electronic form received via a communications network that includes user-supplied data not previously presented by a computer system for viewing;
- and
- in response to the request, providing the view for display, the view presenting both a first value indicative of only the number of new submissions of each of the electronic forms of the plurality of electronic forms and a second value indicative of a total number of submissions of each of the electronic forms of the plurality of electronic forms, where both the first value and the second value are individually provided for each of the electronic forms of the plurality of electronic forms.

A machine-readable non-transitory medium having instruction data to cause a machine to:
- detect a request to load a view that includes information identifying multiple submissions of an electronic form, a submission of the electronic form including an instance of the electronic form augmented with data provided by a user;
- track a number of new submissions of the electronic form using a submission counter that is separate from other counters, a new submission being a submission of the electronic form received via a communications network that includes data provided by one or more users in the electronic form not previously presented by a computer system for viewing;
- in response to the request, provide the view for display, the view presenting a value indicative of the number of new submissions of the electronic form;
- determine that the view includes data provided by the one or more users in the electronic form, wherein only views including data provided by the one or more users in the electronic form trigger a reset of the submission counter;
- upon determining that the view includes data provided by the one or more users in the electronic form, reset the submission counter indicating the number of new submissions of the electronic form;
- monitor for subsequent new submissions of the electronic form.
