Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display information on a screen that accepts a setting of a transfer destination for an electronic document prepared in a first application that a first user is authorized to use. The information accepts selection of a second user as a candidate for the transfer destination.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

display information on a screen that accepts a setting of a transfer destination for an electronic document prepared in a first application that a first user is authorized to use, the information accepting selection of another application among a plurality of applications that the first user is authorized to use, and the information further accepting a second user as a candidate for the transfer destination,

in response to the selection of the transfer destination,

in a case that the another application is accepted as the transfer destination, display, to the first user, another screen that accepts selection of an attribute that permits transfer from among one or more attributes added to the electronic document,

in a case that the second user is accepted as the candidate for the transfer destination other than the another application, display, to the second user, a screen used for selecting a candidate for a second application used for processing the electronic document serving as a transfer target, the second user is authorized to use the second application that the first user is not authorized to use.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor extracts, as the candidate, the second user linked with one or more attributes added to the electronic document serving as the transfer target.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the second user is one of a plurality of second users, and

wherein the processor displays, to the first user, an attribute recognized as being linked with the second user from among the one or more attributes added to the electronic document serving as the transfer target, the attribute being displayed in a state where the attribute is linked with each of the second users.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor transfers an attribute value of the attribute selected as a transfer target by the first user to the second application used for processing the electronic document by the second user.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where the attribute of the electronic document selected as the transfer target in the first application by the first user is an attribute not to be added subsequently to the electronic document but is not treated by the second application as an attribute not to be added subsequently to the electronic document, the processor transfers the attribute to the second application as a subsequently-added attribute.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor does not transfer an attribute value of an attribute excluded from the transfer target by the first user to the second application used by the second user taking over the processing of the electronic document.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, in a case where the attribute of the electronic document excluded from the transfer target in the first application by the first user is an attribute added subsequently to the electronic document, the processor does not transfer the attribute to the second application.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor notifies the second user of a location where the electronic document is stored as transfer-related information.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor extracts, as the candidate for the second application, an application linked with an attribute attached to the electronic document serving as the transfer target.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor acquires the electronic document from a location where the electronic document is stored, and registers the electronic document in the second application selected by the second user.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

displaying information on a screen that accepts a setting of a transfer destination for an electronic document prepared in a first application that a first user is authorized to use, the information accepting selection of another application among a plurality of applications that the first user is authorized to use, and the information further accepting a second user as a candidate for the transfer destination,

in response to the selection of the transfer destination,

in a case that the another application is accepted as the transfer destination, displaying, to the first user, another screen that accepts selection of an attribute that permits transfer from among one or more attributes added to the electronic document,

in a case that the second user is accepted as the candidate for the transfer destination other than the another application, displaying, to the second user, a screen used for selecting a candidate for a second application used for processing the electronic document serving as a transfer target, the second user is authorized to use the second application that the first user is not authorized to use.

12. An information processing method comprising:

displaying information on a screen that accepts a setting of a transfer destination for an electronic document prepared in a first application that a first user is authorized to use, the information accepting selection of another application among a plurality of applications that the first user is authorized to use, and the information further accepting a second user as a candidate for the transfer destination,

in response to the selection of the transfer destination,

in a case that the another application is accepted as the transfer destination, displaying, to the first user, another screen that accepts selection of an attribute that permits transfer from among one or more attributes added to the electronic document,

in a case that the second user is accepted as the candidate for the transfer destination other than the another application, displaying, to the second user, a screen used for selecting a candidate for a second application used for processing the electronic document serving as a transfer target, the second user is authorized to use the second application that the first user is not authorized to use.
