Abstract

Claims (42)

1. A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a first user-fillable form bound to dynamic data from a dataset of an underlying data source, the first user-fillable form having a first data structure generated by first prepopulated coding, the first prepopulated coding authored by an author using a no code environment;

transmitting, for display at a first computing device, the first user-fillable form to a first user;

receiving, from the first user of the first computing device, a first data entry responsive to the first user-fillable form;

updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source by persisting the data from the first data entry at a data store associated with the underlying data source, wherein persisting the data from the first data entry comprises adding a row to a table associated with the dynamic data;

based on receiving the first data entry, transmitting, for display at a second computing device, a second user-fillable form to a second user different than the first user, the second user-fillable form comprising an approval request associated with the first data entry;

receiving, from the second user of the second computing device, a second data entry responsive to the second user-fillable form, the second data entry approving the approval request of the second user-fillable form; and

based on the second data entry approving the approval request, updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source by persisting data from the second data entry at the data store associated with the underlying data source, wherein persisting the data from the second data entry comprises modifying the row added to the table associated with the dynamic data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise requesting an application associated with the underlying data source to generate the first user-fillable form, wherein obtaining the first user-fillable form comprises obtaining the first user-fillable form generated by the application associated with the underlying data source.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first computing device comprises a host container.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise translating the first user-fillable form into a hostable format for the host container.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an indication of a user action performed in the host container, the user action indicating that the first user intends to communicate with the underlying data source.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

querying the underlying data source for the dynamic data;

receiving query results comprising current data corresponding to the dynamic data from the underlying data source; and

populating the current data in the first user-fillable form.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise determining that the first user is an authenticated user permitted to access a portion of the dynamic data associated with the first data entry.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user-fillable form comprises a read-only field and an editable field capable of receiving user-generated data.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the underlying data source is hosted by an application residing outside of the first computing device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source occurs in response to the first data entry responsive to the first user-fillable form.

11. A system comprising:

data processing hardware; and

memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a first user-fillable form bound to dynamic data from a dataset of an underlying data source, the first user-fillable form having a first data structure generated by first prepopulated coding, the first prepopulated coding authored by an author using a no code environment;

transmitting, for display at a first computing device, the first user-fillable form to a first user;

receiving, from the first user of the first computing device, a first data entry responsive to the first user-fillable form;

updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source by persisting the data from the first data entry at a data store associated with the underlying data source, wherein persisting the data from the first data entry comprises adding a row to a table associated with the dynamic data;

based on receiving the first data entry, transmitting, for display at a second computing device, a second user-fillable form to a second user different than the first user, the second user-fillable form comprising an approval request associated with the first data entry;

receiving, from the second user of the second computing device, a second data entry responsive to the second user-fillable form, the second data entry approving the approval request of the second user-fillable form; and

based on the second data entry approving the approval request, updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source by persisting data from the second data entry at the data store associated with the underlying data source, wherein persisting the data from the second data entry comprises a modifying the row added to the table associated with the dynamic data.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise requesting an application associated with the underlying data source to generate the first user-fillable form, wherein obtaining the first user-fillable form comprises obtaining the first user-fillable form generated by the application associated with the underlying data source.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first computing device comprises a host container.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise translating the first user-fillable form into a hostable format for the host container.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving an indication of a user action performed in the host container, the user action indicating that the first user intends to communicate with the underlying data source.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:

querying the underlying data source for the dynamic data;

receiving query results comprising current data corresponding to the dynamic data from the underlying data source; and

populating the current data in the first user-fillable form.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise determining that the first user is an authenticated user permitted to access a portion of the dynamic data associated with the first data entry.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first user-fillable form comprises a read-only field and an editable field capable of receiving user-generated data.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the underlying data source is hosted by an application residing outside of the first computing device.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein updating the dynamic data from the dataset of the underlying data source occurs in response to the first data entry responsive to the first user-fillable form.
