Abstract
Electronic form (e-form) processing includes generating an e-form based on a form template, the form template being selected from pre-defined form templates. The e-form includes modular sections arranged in a pre-defined order, each modular section being associated with user privileges. Further, data is retrieved from at least one database to partly populate at least one of the modular sections in the e-form. Subsets of the modular sections are provided to designated users based on the user privileges and a workflow associated with the e-form. A processed e-form, including the retrieved data and the data inputs, and having at least one external document, is created based on data inputs received from the designated users. A processed electronic document including the modular sections populated with the retrieved data, the data inputs, and external data from the external document arranged in the pre-defined order is generated from the processed e-form.
