Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a document; determine a route on which the document is to be processed in a workflow; determine a first process that is a final process for processing the document on the route among processes in which information is allowed to be input for a first item included in the document; and display the first item in a manner in accordance with the first process.

Claims (42)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

acquire a document;

determine a route on which the document is to be processed in a workflow;

arrange a plurality of images respectively representing processes for processing the document in an order of the processes in accordance with the route;

display the plurality of images in the order;

accept an operation for designating an input field, among a plurality of input fields, for inputting the information for a first item included in the document;

determine a first process that is a final process for processing the document on the route among processes in which information is allowed to be input for the first item included in the document; and

display an image corresponding to the first process in a manner distinguishable from others of the plurality of images.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to accept a first operation for designating the first item among items included in the document and determine the first process that is the final process for processing the document on the route among processes in which information is allowed to be input for the first item designated by the first operation.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

accept a second operation for designating at least one non-input item for which information is not input among one or more items included in the document,

determine, upon accepting the second operation, for each of the at least one non-input item, the first process that is the final process for processing the document on the route among processes in which information is allowed to be input for the at least one non-input item, and

display each of the at least one non-input item in a manner in accordance with the determined first process.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where no information is input for the first item, display the first item in the manner.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where a process in which the document is being processed is the first process, display the first item in a manner different from that in other processes.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where a process in which the document is being processed is a second process for which information for at least one second item included in the document is necessary and where the information is not input for the at least one second item, accept an instruction for selecting any of processes in which information is allowed to be input for the at least one second item and returning the document to the selected process.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the process in which the document is being processed is the second process and where the information is not input for the at least one second item, accept an instruction for selecting any of at least one person to be in charge of a process in which information is allowed to be input for the at least one second item and returning the document.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the at least one second item includes two or more second items and where at least one person is to be in charge of successive processes in which input for the two or more second items in the document on the route, accept an instruction for selecting the at least one person and returning the document.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display a final person who has processed the document to be distinguished from another person among persons in charge of the processes in which information is allowed to be input for the at least one second item.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the process in which the document is being processed is a process for which the information for the at least one second item is not necessary, not accept an instruction for selecting any of the processes in which information is allowed to be input for the at least one second item and returning the document to the selected process.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the process in which the document is being processed is a process for which the information for the at least one second item is necessary based on information input for any of one or more items included in the document.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to determine the route based on information input for any of one or more items included in the document.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer including a processor to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

acquiring a document;

determining a route on which the document is to be processed in a workflow;

arranging a plurality of images respectively representing processes for processing the document in an order of the processes in accordance with the route;

displaying the plurality of images in the order;

accepting an operation for designating an input field, among a plurality of input fields, for inputting the information for a first item included in the document;

determining a first process that is a final process for processing the document on the route among processes in which information is allowed to be input for the first item included in the document; and

displaying an image corresponding to the first process in a manner distinguishable from others of the plurality of images.
