Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to determine progress of each of two or more processes included in a workflow and display a second image that is a single image generated based on first images respectively representing the two or more processes and the determined progress.

Claims (31)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

determine progress of each of two or more processes included in a workflow and

display a second image that is a single image generated based on first images respectively representing the two or more processes and the determined progress,

wherein the processor is configured to display the second image generated by changing the size of each of the first images in accordance with a number of standby jobs in each of the two or more processes or a time during which a job is in a standby state in each of the two or more processes.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the size of each of the first images is changed in accordance with the time during which the job is in the standby state in each of the two or more processes.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the second image generated by adding, in association with each of the first images, a symbol indicating the progress.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the size of each of the first images is changed in accordance with a number of standby jobs in each of the two or more processes.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the second image generated by adding, in association with each of the first images, a symbol indicating the progress.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the second image generated by adding, in association with each of the first images, a symbol indicating the progress.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the second image generated by arranging the first images in a predetermined order.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where an operation on the second image is accepted, individually display each of the first images in a manner in accordance with the progress.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where an operation on the second image is accepted, display a first image representing one process with more delayed progress than another process, among the two or more processes, to be distinguished from another first image representing the other process.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

determine a user and

display, among the first images, a first image representing a process of which the user is in charge, among the two or more processes, in a manner distinguished from another first image.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first images are representations of respective ones of a plurality of users assigned to at least one of the two or more processes in the workflow.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine whether a viewing user is an administrator user, the second image is displayed to the viewing user, and, when the viewing user is determined to be the administrator user, the second image includes a number of standby processes for each of the plurality of first images, and when the viewing user is not determined to be the administrator user, the second image include a number of standby processes for only one of the first images, the one first image being an image corresponding to the viewing user.

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:

determining progress of each of two or more processes included in a workflow and

displaying a second image that is a single image generated based on first images respectively representing the two or more processes and the determined progress,

wherein the displaying of the second image is generated by changing the size of each of the first images in accordance with a number of standby jobs in each of the two or more processes or a time during which a job is in a standby state in each of the two or more processes.
