6. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to execute the following steps:
monitoring presence or absence of uploaded files with respect to a storage subject to monitoring, and acquiring an uploaded file when the presence of the uploaded file is detected;
extracting document information from the acquired uploaded file;
selecting a workflow to be executed on the file, based on an acquisition destination from which the file is acquired, or the document information of the file; and
generating job information including setting information, the document information, the file and user identification information,
wherein, upon receiving, from a terminal apparatus, a flow selection screen request, the flow selection screen being updated to indicate a screen from which a user selects the workflow subject to execution, the processor refers to the memory to generate display data of the flow selection screen and transmits a response including the flow selection screen data to the terminal apparatus, and
wherein, in the memory, identification information for identifying the storage is associated with identification information for identifying the workflow, and the flow selection screen includes alternatives and the identification information for identifying the storage corresponding to each of the alternatives.
7. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the steps executed by the processor further include:
extracting the document information including a file name, a file name extension, and an employee's number at a workplace of the user, the employee's number being included in the file name, and wherein
the employee's number is user identification information.
8. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the steps executed by the processor further include:
handling information acquired from a file name of the acquired file in accordance with a predetermined rule as user identification information.
9. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the steps executed by the processor further include:
selecting a prestored identifier of the workflow associated with the monitored storage serving as an acquisition destination of the acquired file as a flow ID of the workflow to be executed on the acquired file.
10. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein
the user identification information includes a superior's ID that is an employee's number of the user's superior, and the workflow is configured to cause delivery to an email address of the superior specified based on the superior's ID.
11. A data process control method implemented by an information processing system, the information processing system including one or more computers, the data process control method comprising:
monitoring, by the one or more computers, presence or absence of uploaded files with respect to a storage subject to monitoring, and acquiring, by the one or more computers, a uploaded file when the presence of the uploaded file is detected,
extracting, by the one or more computers, document information from the acquired uploaded file;
selecting, by the one or more computers, a workflow to be executed on the file, based on an acquisition destination from which the file is acquired, or the document information of the file; and
generating, by the one or more computers, job information including setting information, the document information, the file and user identification information,
wherein, upon receiving, by the one or more computers from a terminal apparatus, a flow selection screen request, the flow selection screen being updated to indicate a screen from which a user selects the workflow subject to execution, the one or more computers refer to a memory of the one or more computers to generate display data of the flow selection screen and transmit a response including the flow selection screen data to the terminal apparatus, and
wherein, in the memory, identification information for identifying the storage is associated with identification information for identifying the workflow, and the flow selection screen includes alternatives and the identification information for identifying the storage corresponding to each of the alternatives.
