  • Patent number: 12293146
    Abstract: Documents are often generated using a customer communication management (CCM) application that utilizes rules to select and/or modify certain fragments of a document. By analyzing the rules and content that produced a certain fragment, a second CCM application may be automatically provided with the rules, such as when the first set of rules are not available for porting to a second system. Accordingly, a server may access a rule comprising a condition, a document fragment, and a rule identifier. A server may generate a first document to comprise visible content and hidden content. Generating the first document may comprise evaluating the rule and, when the rule is true, including the document fragment as a portion of the visible content and including the rule identifier as a portion of hidden content. A server may provide the first document to a destination.
