Abstract: Various embodiments relating to collecting and auditing structured data layered on unstructured object are disclosed. In one embodiment, a field-data tracking form may include a plurality of input fields layered over an unstructured base object (e.g., a legacy form, document, image, diagram, etc.). Each input field may correspond to a different data object having attributes that maintain a full traceable history of changes made to the input field. The field-data tracking form may act as a data-entry vehicle that can be sent to mobile computers to allow field data to be entered directly into input fields corresponding to the data objects, while maintaining the visual layout of the unstructured base object. Furthermore, attributes of discrete data objects from different versions of the field-data tracking form may be searched and displayed via an audit viewing tool graphical user interface (GUI).
