1 .- 25 . (canceled)

26 . An online data management system to assist a user in completing a transaction, the transaction including completing documents in a sequence, the system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor configured to perform steps comprising:

receiving an indication of the transaction to be completed from the user;

accessing a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes a plurality of tags;

automatically determining documents to include in the transaction, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags, wherein the plurality of tags are associated with documents to be included in the transaction;

automatically determining the sequence of completing the documents, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags; and

for each document in the transaction:

automatically completing document fields using information in the user profile;

determining document fields in a document that need user input to be completed;

requesting user input to complete the document fields, including rendering a graphical user interface to display the document and provide a visual indication to the user of the requested user input; and

verifying the document based on received user input.

27 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

detecting a change in the user profile; and

automatically determining additional documents needed to include in the transaction based on the detected change in the user profile and tags associated with the detected change.

28 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

receiving an additional document to include in the transaction;

determining tags associated with the additional document;

analyzing the additional document to determine information needed to complete the document; and

automatically completing the additional document using information in the user profile and the determined tags.

29 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

automatically modifying documents in the transaction based on the user profile.

30 . The online data management system of claim 29 , wherein modifying the documents includes any one or more of:

downloading additional documents to be included in the transaction;

removing documents from the transaction; and

editing documents included in the transaction.

31 . The online data management system of claim 30 , wherein downloading additional documents includes determining tags associated with the additional documents.

32 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

for each document in the transaction, presenting the document to the user for signature in the predetermined sequence.

33 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

analyzing the documents in the transaction, including identifying information requested in the document.

34 . The online data management system of claim 33 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

determining the sequence for completing the documents based on the analyzing, the user profile, and the plurality of tags.

35 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

for each document in the transaction, on a condition that the document is not verified, requesting additional user input to complete the document.

36 . The online data management system of claim 26 , wherein:

automatically determining the documents to include in the transaction includes querying a data structure to determine tags associated with the transaction; and

the data structure maintains:

a first association of tags and documents; and

a second association of tags and the user profile.

37 . The online data management system of claim 36 , wherein the data structure includes a status of each document in the transaction.

38 . A method for assisting a user in completing a transaction, the transaction including completing documents in a sequence, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of the transaction to be completed from the user;

accessing a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes a plurality of tags;

automatically determining documents to include in the transaction, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags, wherein the plurality of tags are associated with documents to be included in the transaction;

automatically determining the sequence of completing the documents, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags; and

for each document in the transaction:

automatically completing document fields using information in the user profile;

determining document fields in a document that need user input to be completed;

requesting user input to complete the document fields, including rendering a graphical user interface to display the document and provide a visual indication to the user of the requested user input; and

verifying the document based on received user input.

39 . The method of claim 38 , further comprising:

detecting a change in the user profile; and

automatically determining additional documents needed to include in the transaction based on the detected change in the user profile and tags associated with the detected change.

40 . The method of claim 38 , further comprising:

receiving an additional document to include in the transaction;

determining tags associated with the additional document;

analyzing the additional document to determine information needed to complete the document; and

automatically completing the additional document using information in the user profile and the determined tags.

41 . The method of claim 38 , further comprising:

analyzing the documents in the transaction, including identifying information requested in the document; and

determining the sequence for completing the documents based on the analyzing, the user profile, and the plurality of tags.

42 . The method of claim 38 , wherein:

automatically determining the documents to include in the transaction includes querying a data structure to determine tags associated with the transaction; and

the data structure maintains:

a first association of tags and documents; and

a second association of tags and the user profile.

43 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform a method for assisting a user in completing a transaction, the transaction including completing documents in a sequence, the method comprising:

receiving an indication of the transaction to be completed from the user;

accessing a user profile of the user, wherein the user profile includes a plurality of tags;

automatically determining documents to include in the transaction, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags, wherein the plurality of tags are associated with documents to be included in the transaction;

automatically determining the sequence of completing the documents, based on the transaction, the user profile, and the plurality of tags; and

for each document in the transaction:

automatically completing document fields using information in the user profile;

determining document fields in a document that need user input to be completed;

requesting user input to complete the document fields, including rendering a graphical user interface to display the document and provide a visual indication to the user of the requested user input; and

verifying the document based on received user input.

44 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43 , the method further comprising:

detecting a change in the user profile; and

automatically determining additional documents needed to include in the transaction based on the detected change in the user profile and tags associated with the detected change.

45 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43 , the method further comprising:

analyzing the documents in the transaction, including identifying information requested in the document; and

determining the sequence for completing the documents based on the analyzing, the user profile, and the plurality of tags.
