Form Field Association for Automatic Cross-Form Data Sync
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual extraction and entry of questionnaire data into databases is costly and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for form generation and data processing that allows for the automatic synchronization of data between forms by associating fields in a first form with corresponding fields in a second form, enabling seamless data transfer and reducing manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual extraction and entry of questionnaire data is used, then data can be entered into databases, but the process is costly and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the questionnaire form structure in the database schema, where form fields are automatically replicated as database columns. This copying mechanism enables automatic data synchronization from form submissions to database storage, eliminating manual data entry and significantly improving productivity while reducing time loss.
2Ease of operation
If automatic field association between forms is implemented, then data synchronization is simplified, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary field association mechanism that automatically links form fields across different forms based on predefined relationships. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of field mapping and data synchronization automatically, making the process easy to operate while managing system complexity through automated mediation rather than manual configuration.

AI summary
The embodiments of the disclosure disclose a method for form generation, method for form data processing and apparatus, and electronic device. The method for form generation includes: in response to receiving a generation instruction for a second form in a display page of a first form, displaying an initial second form and a field selection item, a second field indicated by the field selection item being associated with a first field in the first form; and determining a target second field based on a selection operation on the field selection item and generating a second form based on the target second field.
