Abstract
A system for automatic data aggregation comprises a communications module to receive an electronic form comprising field data and a detector to detect a workflow identifier indicating that the electronic form is to be included as a new record in an aggregate package. The system further comprises an aggregator to associate electronic form data with an aggregate package in response to the detected workflow identifier.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the at least one processor;
- a communications module to receive an electronic form comprising field data;
- a detector to detect, using the at least one processor, a workflow identifier associated with the electronic form, the workflow identifier indicating that the electronic form is from a plurality of workflow electronic forms and that the electronic form is to be included as a new record in an aggregate package, the aggregate package to store field data associated with each of the plurality of workflow electronic forms as a respective separate record;
- and
- an aggregator to add the field data present in the received electronic form as the new record into the aggregate package in response to the detected workflow identifier.

A method comprising:
- receiving an electronic form comprising field data;
- detecting, using at least one processor, a workflow identifier associated with the electronic form indicating that the electronic form is from a plurality of workflow electronic forms and that the electronic form is to be included as a new record in an aggregate package for storing data associated with a plurality of users, the aggregate package to store data associated with each of the plurality of workflow electronic forms as a respective separate record, the plurality of the workflow electronic forms comprising field data of different respective users;
- and
- adding the field data associated with the electronic form as the new record into the aggregate package in response to the detecting of the workflow identifier.
1 more element
A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instruction data to cause a machine to:
- detect workflow metadata associated with an electronic form, the electronic form comprising field data;
- receive confirmation that the electronic form is to be associated with an aggregate package for storing data associated with a plurality of users, the aggregate package to store field data associated with a plurality of workflow electronic forms as respective separate records;
- and
- add the field data with the aggregate package in response to the confirmation, the field data associated being presented in the aggregate package as a separate record.
