Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform control in such a way as to display a workflow image indicating a series of processes included in a workflow and change a manner in which the workflow image is displayed such that an allocation state of an operator for, among the series of processes, a target process for which there are candidates for the operator.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

perform control to display a workflow image indicating a series of processes included in a workflow;

change display of the workflow image such that the workflow image indicates an allocation state of an operator who is to perform a target process, of the series of processes, and for which there are a plurality of candidates for the operator, wherein

the allocation state of the operator indicates whether or not a candidate of the plurality of candidates has been assigned as the operator to perform the target process;

assign the candidate as the operator to perform the target process based on a history of processes performed by the candidate in the past; and

change display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change a manner in which a target part, which indicates the target process, of the workflow image is displayed between when the target process has been assigned to a user who is one of the plurality of candidates for the operator and in other cases.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, if none of the plurality of candidates for the operator is allocated to the target process, display the target part while highlighting the target part in a first manner.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change, if the target process is assigned to the user, the manner in which the target part is displayed from the first manner to a second manner, which is different from the first manner.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change, if a process immediately before the target process is completed without any of the plurality of candidates for the operator allocated to the target process, the manner in which the target part is displayed in accordance with allocation of one of the plurality of candidates for the operator who is to perform the target process.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change, if the target process is assigned to an person other than the user who is included in the plurality of candidates for the operator, the manner in which the target part is displayed from the first manner to a third manner, which indicates that the target process has been assigned to the person.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change, if an assignee of the target process is changed from the person to the user, the manner in which the target part is displayed from the third manner to a second manner, which is different from the first manner.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change, in a case where a process immediately before the target process included in the series of processes is completed, the manner in which the target part is displayed.

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

performing control to display a workflow image indicating a series of process included in a workflow;

changing display of the workflow image such that the workflow image indicates an allocation state of an operator who is to perform a target process, of the series of processes, and for which there are a plurality of candidates for the operator, wherein

the allocation state of the operator indicates whether or not a candidate of the plurality of candidates has been assigned as the operator to perform the target process;

assigning the candidate as the operator to perform the target process based on a history of processes performed by the candidate in the past; and

changing display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.

10. An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for performing control to display a workflow image indicating a series of processes included in a workflow;

means for changing display of the workflow image such that the workflow image indicates an allocation state of an operator who is to perform a target process, of the series of processes, and for which there are a plurality of candidates for the operator, wherein

the allocation state of the operator indicates whether or not a candidate of the plurality of candidates has been assigned as the operator to perform the target process;

means for assigning the candidate as the operator to perform the target process based on a history of processes performed by the candidate in the past; and

means for changing display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 9 , the program causing the computer to execute the process comprising:

changing display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , comprising:

means for changing change display of the workflow image such that a target part, which indicates the target process of the workflow image, is displayed differently when the target process has been assigned to the candidate than when the target process has not been assigned to the candidate.
