wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein in a case where there are a plurality of the elements to which the part of the document belongs, the specification unit specifies an approver associated with each of the plurality of elements, and
wherein in a case where the plurality of approvers are specified, the notification unit notifies of the request in order from an approver associated with a lower element to an approver associated with a higher element.
