Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for mapping data sets to fields in electronic forms to facilitate rapid entry of data. During operation, the system receives a selection of a first field in an electronic form. In response to receiving the selection of the first field, the system retrieves a first set of data items that have previously been entered into the first field. Next, the system highlights the data items in the first set of data items such that each data item in the first set of data items has a different highlight. The system then receives a selection of a first data item from the first set of data items. In response to receiving the selection of the first data item, the system receives a selection of a second field in the electronic form. Next, the system retrieves a second set of data items that have previously been entered into the second field. The system then determines a second data item from the second set of data items that was previously submitted with the first data item. Finally, the system highlights the second data item with a same highlight as the first data item.
