The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed to a method for creating an identity that defines a visual appearance for output generated by multiple applications. The identity may include a base design, an effects scheme, a color scheme, a font scheme, a logo, and business information. The identity being saved in a form that is accessible by the multiple applications so that when accessed, the application applies the identity to a document to give the document a consistent visual appearance with output from other applications.

System and method for providing a consistent visual appearance to output generated by multiple applications

A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided for merging data from multiple data sources for use in an electronic document. The method includes receiving field names and field data from an initial data source, mapping field names from a subsequently added data source to the initial data source, building a recipient list schema based on the field names from the initial data source and the mapped field names from the subsequently added data source, creating a recipient list according to the recipient list schema, and saving the recipient list to a file. The recipient list schema defines the relationships between the field names in the recipient list and the field names in the initial and subsequently added data sources.
