DynamicForms

DynamicForms is an enterprise solution for small companies, a generic mobile application that can be plenty configured with forms and fulfilled with answers. Small companies can use this project in order to build tools such as:

• Send alerts for issues (to the IT team, for example)
• Make inventory of stock with the phone
• Set order deliveries
• Make project management

The application implements three groups of users:

• Employee
• Manager
• President

They all can answer the forms through the mobile app but:

• Managers can configure the forms shown within the application
• Presidents can configure the forms and also the users.

The forms can be composed with the next inputs

• Integers
• Floating point numbers
• Short strings
• Text (large strings)
• QR Codes
• Dates
• Blob values
  • Images and photos
  • Editable images and photos
• Location (mobile's GPS)
• Options

Parts

• API
• Application
• Dashboard

API

This repository has been made with Laravel 5.1 and it is the intermediate point between the dashboard and the application.

How does this works

The forms are created with three levels of abstraction

1. Forms

• Are created by users
• Has many field descriptors
  • Describes the fields attached to a form
  • It can be integer, float, string, blob, etc.
• Has many form instances

2. Form instances

• Has one user (who answered the form)
• Has one form (the form that the user is answering)
• Has many form answers (the data send in each field)

3. Form answers

• Has one field descriptor
• Has one data row (where to look at the answer)
