A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for entering data in a print order based upon a prose attribute, the operations comprising:

• receiving a print job request comprising a prose attribute field that comprises the prose attribute;
• analyzing the prose attribute comprising abbreviations that represent print job terms to identify one or more print job parameters as data for the print order, wherein the analyzing is performed using a pre-defined dictionary of print job terms, wherein the analyzing comprises analyzing the prose attribute to identify text in a particular form that matches a corresponding print job term in the pre-defined dictionary;
• identifying one or more fields in the print order that correspond to the one or more print job parameters;
• and
• populating the one or more fields with the data obtained from the prose attribute.
