Patent number: 11467808Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems that allow a user to access indicia representing executable form items, click and drag them into a space on a display screen, and build a form of executable form items. The disclosed methods and systems allow the executable form items to be arranged and rearranged as the user is building the form. The form as it is being built on a display is executable as execution codes are attached the form items when the indicia is dragged onto a form view screen. A user will not need to consider how to define the manner in which the form items function. That is a user, in a single step, will select a form item that is a particular type to the build the form, and this form will immediately be executable. The form can then become part of a form flow.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2016Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: WiseTech Global LimitedInventors: Richard White, Zubin Appoo, Mikhail Sverdlov
