Systems and methods for expanding and collapsing data entry regions that does not hide entered data

A machine-readable medium having a set of instructions for execution by a processor, said set of instructions comprising:

• a user interface routine providing electronic content to a user, said user interface routine including an expander, said expander including one or more items each having a header portion and a body portion, said header portion including an identifier and a set of normals, said body portion including one or more options for selection by the user;
• and
• a processing routine processing user input data via said user interface routine and said expander to update display of said expander via said user interface routine, said processing routine expanding or collapsing contents of said expander based on the user input data to provide said expander in an expanded state or a collapsed state via said user interface routine,
• wherein, in said expanded state, said header portion and all options of said body portion for each of said one or more items are visible in said expander via said user interface routine and wherein, in said collapsed state, said header portion and only options of said body portion selected by the user for each of said one or more items are visible in said expander via said user interface routine.

A method for expanding and collapsing data entry regions in an electronic form, said method comprising:

• displaying a user interface including an expander, said expander including one or more items each having a header portion and a body portion, said header portion including an identifier and a control, said body portion including one or more options for selection by the user;
• receiving and processing user input via said user interface to update display of said user interface including said expander;
• collapsing or expanding content of said expander based on the user input to display said expander in said user interface in a collapsed state or an expanded state, wherein, in said expanded state, said header portion and all options of said body portion for each of said one or more items are visible in said expander and wherein, in said collapsed state, said header portion and only options of said body portion selected by the user for each of said one or more items are visible in said expander;
• and
• displaying said user interface to a user.
