1. A method, performed by a computing system having at least one processor, for simplifying visual organization of electronic documents, the method comprising:
providing a first electronic document that comprises:
a first input field, and
a plurality of second input fields,
wherein the first input field and the plurality of second input fields are visually organized according to a first format;
generating, by a server, a simplified electronic document representing a simplified version of the first electronic document using the first electronic document,
wherein the simplified electronic document comprises:
one or more data input fields, including a third input field corresponding to the at least two of the plurality of second input fields of the first electronic document visually organized according to a second format different from the first format wherein the second format includes grouping the one or more data input fields by relevance within the simplified electronic document, such that there is a one-to-many correspondence of the third input field to the at least two of the plurality of second input fields,
wherein the third input field is a combination of the at least two of the plurality of second input fields, and
wherein each second input field of the at least two of the plurality of second input fields corresponds to a portion of the third input field; and
in response to receiving a first user-specified data element from a user for a selected portion of the third input field, automatically populating at least one of the plurality of second input fields that corresponds to the selected portion of the third input field with the first user-specified data element and in response to receiving a second user-specified data element from the user for at least one of the plurality of second input fields, automatically populating a corresponding portion of the third input field with the second user-specified data element.
