Abstract
During a data-entry technique, a subset of desired information is determined based on an attribute of the user (such as an identifier). For example, the subset of the information may be associated with at least a field in a document, and the remainder of the information may be associated with at least a second field. This second field may be: empty, related to the subset of the information, and/or redundant with the subset of the information. Using the determined subset of the information, the data-entry process may be simplified. In particular, a user may only have to provide the subset of the information, instead of all the information.
