Automated Field Placement For Uploaded Documents

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing computer program code that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a form document including a first set of fields, each field of the first set of fields associated with a field type and field position within the form document;
• selecting a candidate document from a set of candidate documents based on 1) a similarity between the candidate document and the form document and 2) a similarity between a user that provided the form document and users associated with the set of candidate documents;
• and
• generating a mapping between the selected candidate document and the form document, the mapping comprising associations between selected interface elements overlaid on the form document and corresponding fields of the first set of fields within the form document, the mapping further including any interface elements added by the user, not including any interface elements removed by the user, and including any edits made by the user to selected interface elements.

A system comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to:

• selecting a candidate document from a set of candidate documents based on 1) a similarity between the candidate document and the form document and 2) a similarity between a user that provided the form document and users associated with the set of candidate documents;
