Abstract

Claims (32)

1. A cloud service platform that is integrated over a network with a local application operating on a remote device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, configure the processor to operate, for the cloud service platform:

a field management engine to create a definition of a first field used by the cloud service platform, the definition including metadata used to map fields to forms stored in a forms database that is configured to communicate with the cloud service platform;

an event streams engine to receive a message from the local application, the message comprising a form having the first field and a second field of the local application and data including metadata for the first and second fields of the form; and

a field bridge engine to:

receive first field data for the first field and second field data for the second field from a user of the local application;

apply the first field data to the first field of the form and the second field data in the second field of the form when an indication of the metadata for the fields of the form matches with metadata for the first and second field data based on the definition; and

provide the form to a print service for presentation.

2. The cloud service platform of claim 1 , wherein the first field data for the first field is applied to the form according to a workflow for the form, the workflow being provided to the cloud service platform by the local application.

3. The cloud service platform of claim 1 , wherein the field management engine is further to store the definition for the first field in a field definition service of the cloud service platform.

4. The cloud service platform of claim 3 , wherein the field definition service is to provide the definition for the first field to a telemetry service of the cloud service platform.

5. The cloud service platform of claim 1 , wherein the field bridge engine is further to store the first field data for the first field in a field data service of the cloud service platform.

6. The cloud service platform of claim 5 , wherein the field data service is to indicate to a telemetry service of the cloud service platform that the first field has been used.

7. The cloud service platform of claim 1 , wherein the field bridge engine is to be launched in response to a signal made by a bridge launcher of the local application.

8. A method of a cloud service platform that is integrated with a local application operating on a remote device, comprising:

providing, in response to a signal provided by the local application to the cloud service platform, to a user of the local application, a prompt to enter field data of a first field defined at the cloud service platform, a definition of the first field including metadata used to map the first field to forms stored in a forms database that is configured to communicate with the cloud service platform;

receiving, from the user, the field data;

storing the field data at the cloud service platform;

receiving a first form from the local application, the first form including metadata for a first field of the first form;

applying the field data to the first form, when an indication of the metadata for the first field of the first form matches with metadata in the definition of the first field, and

providing the form to a print service for presentation.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a second form from a forms database; and

applying the field data to a second form.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising providing the first form and the second form to a print service.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a second form from the local application, and

applying the field data to the second form.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing the first form and the second form to a print service.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the prompt to enter the field data is organized according to a domain of the first field.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising recording that the field data was applied to the first form in telemetry data for the cloud service platform.
