Abstract:

A system facilitates user review and editing of automatic values for various data items that are set based on setting a related data item or are transferred, by displaying a comprehensive list of data items that are set when a related data item is given a value. A system for automatically populating document data fields includes a repository for associating an individual value of a first data item with at least one auto-fill value of a different second data item. The different second data item auto-fill value is automatically incorporated in a data field of a document in response to selection of the first data item value for incorporation in a different data field of the document. A user interface uses information acquired from the repository for initiating generation of data representing at least one display image identifying the auto-fill value of the different second data item in response to selection of the first data item value for incorporation in the different data field of the document. An auto-population processor automatically incorporates the auto-fill value of the different second data item in the different data field of the document.
