Abstract
The present invention provides a form management system, comprising: a form building module, the form building module calling a word processing application software to obtain layout information of a form; and a common library building module, the common library building module building a correlation between a specific field of the form and default data of the specific field and storing the correlation in a common library.
Claims14
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
- calling a word processing application software to obtain layout information of a paper form;
- building a correlation between a specific field of an electronic form and default data of the specific field and storing the correlation in a common library, wherein an electronic form developer sets a element type for the specific field, and when the element type for the specific field is set, existing default data associated with the specific field in the common library is searched and displayed in a development interface to the electronic form developer;
- converting the layout information of the paper form into the electronic form, wherein the electronic form is a form in an electronic application;
- setting required fields of the electronic form and an electronic form object corresponding to each required field via a data-bound control of the word processing application software;
- setting access permissions for the electronic form, wherein the electronic form developer publishes the finalized electronic form and enables an authorized electronic form users to access the electronic form;
- and
- converting entered data from the authorized electronic form user into a data storage format, and exporting the dara storage format to a file having another data presentation format.
