Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the invention encompasses a method used to (a) create computer applications, or (b) create database-backed forms/documents for a customizable user interface within an existing computer program, that (c) can then be stored, queried and analyzed using map-reduce techniques; using nothing but the front-end user-interface design performed on the device and without the use of any computer coding or database management or setup of any kind. The preferred embodiment invention permits both simple documents (also known as forms), documents-within-documents, and business processes that link documents together, to be defined and converted into a working application on a smart phone, tablet or computer system by end users without the use of code or database management by the end user.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of invention utilizes GPS functionality integrated within the physical apparatus and operating systems utilized by mobile smart phones and tablets utilizing Apple iOS and Android OS operating systems and other computers to determine where and when a group of field workers are not moving or stationary during the workday by measuring where the device has decelerated and then stopped at a given location. Using the location data in this way, this “stop” data can be correlated against known latitude/longitude points for job sites and suppliers, and then used to account fully for the time spent on site and at suppliers by field workers during the day, as well as mileage per job and the number of side trips per job, without requiring the user to interact with the device during the workday. In this manner, the entire time allocation for a given field worker or set of field workers can be accounted for without requiring users to interact with the device at all.
