ABSTRACT:
A method of the present invention receives information in at least one of a plurality of information fields associated with the data record and provides a designated field for receiving a filing identifier for filing the data record. The filing identifier identifies the location used by the computer system for storing the data record. A method of the present invention receives the filing identifier in the designated field in response to receiving the information within selected fields of the data record and automatically updates the filing identifier when information in the selected fields is modified. The method may further include the step of automatically generating, by the computer system, a plurality of predefined filing formats for the filing identifier based on the information received in at least one of the information fields. An option may be provided to select one of the predefined filing formats for automatic insertion in the designated field. Another aspect of the present invention may include automatically updating the predefined filing formats if the information received in at least one of the information fields is modified. Also, the predefined filing identifier may be updated simultaneously with the updating of the preselected formats.
