Method and system for partial application data collection

A method for obtaining information in a form field-by-form field manner for an application being filled out by a user, the method comprising:

• storing, at a memory of a device, the application,
• the application having a plurality of form fields,
• the application being accessible to other devices over a network connection;
• determining, by one or more processors on the device, that the user is accessing the application from a user's device,
• the user's device distinct from the device;
• generating, by the one or more processors, a session identifier (ID) for the user accessing the application,
• the session ID including a timestamp;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that a state within a form field of one of the plurality of form fields is in focus,
• the state of the form field being in focus when the user selects the form field,
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the state within the form field is no longer in focus;
• initiating, by the one or more processors, a countdown timer,
• the countdown timer initiating when the one or more processors determine that the form field is no longer in focus;
• collecting, by the one or more processors and when the countdown timer reaches zero, any data entered into the form field;
• and
• combining, by the one or more processors, all of the collected data and the session ID into a single user data file.
