1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- identifying a scripting language node in a template associated with a first computing program, wherein the node corresponds to a document data field and includes a script defining a data retrieval operation associated with the document data field;
- performing the data retrieval operation to retrieve data from a data store associated with a second computing program that is different than the first computing program;
- and
- generating, by the first computing program, a document according to the template, the document including the document data field with the retrieved data.
1 more element
A computing system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the at least processor, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:
- identify a scripting language node in a template associated with a first computing program, wherein the node corresponds to a document data field and includes a script defining a data retrieval operation associated with the document data field;
- perform the data retrieval operation to retrieve data from a data store associated with a second computing program that is different than the first computing program;
- and
- generate, by the first computing program, a document according to the template, the document including the document data field with the retrieved data.
