Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to store a template in the memory in response to the template being created; receive an input of first input information in a case where the created template is used in performing a request task; and receive an input of second input information in a case where the created template is used in performing a report task. In the template, first identification information for identifying the request task is associated with a first input item, and second identification information for identifying the report task is associated with a second input item. The first input item is selected such that first input information corresponding to the first input item is to be input, and the second input item is selected such that second input information corresponding to the second input item is to be input.

Claims (34)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first memory; and

a processor coupled to the first memory and configured to

store a template in the first memory in response to the template being created in which first identification information for identifying a request task is associated with a first input item, and second identification information for identifying a report task, for the request task, is associated with a second input item, the first identification information being input in a first input field, the first input item being selected in a first selection field such that first input information corresponding to the first input item is to be input, the second information being input in a second input field, and the second input item being selected in a second selection field such that second input information corresponding to the second input item is to be input;

receive an input of the first input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the request task; and

receive an input of the second input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the report task,

wherein in response to receiving a request to create the template, the processor outputs screen data for displaying, on a display device, a screen including a creation field and a setting field in which a permission is set for the template on a per user basis, wherein the permission is one or more of template management permission, template use permission, document data viewing permission, and document data editing permission.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the creation field includes the first input field in which the first identification information for identifying the request task is input, the first selection field in which the first input item is selected such that the first input information corresponding to the first input item associated with the request task is to be input, the second input field in which the second identification information for identifying the report task, for the request task, is input, and the second selection field in which the second input item is selected such that the second input information corresponding to the second input item associated with the report task is to be input.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the template use permission indicates that a user is permitted to create document data from the template.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the permission is also set on a per user group basis in the setting field, the user group being defined by grouping users.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor stores permission information in the first memory, the permission information including content input in the creation field in association with the permission set on the per-user basis in the setting field.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, in response to receiving user information of a user and a request to obtain a list of templates, the processor refers to the first memory, identifies the list of templates for which the user of the user information has a permission, and outputs screen data for displaying the list of templates on the display device.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising a second memory,

wherein, in response to receiving a request to create document data, the processor

refers to the first memory,

identifies a list of templates for which the user of the user information has the template use permission,

causes the display device to display the list of templates from which a given template is selected, the given template being used to create the document data, and

stores the document data in the second memory.

8. A non-transitory recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

storing a template in a memory in response to the template being created in which first identification information for identifying a request task is associated with a first input item, and second identification information for identifying a report task, for the request task, is associated with a second input item, the first identification information being input in a first input field, the first input item being selected in a first selection field such that first input information corresponding to the first input item is to be input, the second information being input in a second input field, and the second input item being selected in a second selection field such that second input information corresponding to the second input item is to be input;

receiving an input of the first input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the request task;

and receiving an input of the second input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the report task,

wherein the process further comprising, in response to receiving a request to create the template, outputting screen data for displaying, on a display device, a screen including a creation field and a setting field in which a permission is set for the template on a per user basis, wherein the permission is one or more of template management permission, template use permission, document data viewing permission, and document data editing permission.

9. An information processing system comprising:

an information processing apparatus; and

a terminal apparatus,

wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first memory, and a first processor coupled to the first memory and configured to

store a template in the first memory in response to the template being created in which first identification information for identifying a request task is associated with a first input item, and second identification information for identifying a report task, for the request task, is associated with a second input item, the first identification information being input in a first input field, the first input item being selected in a first selection field such that first input information corresponding to the first input item is to be input, the second information being input in a second input field, and the second input item being selected in a second selection field such that second input information corresponding to the second input item is to be input,

receive an input of the first input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the request task, and

receive an input of the second input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the report task,

wherein the terminal apparatus includes a second memory, and a second processor coupled to the second memory, the second processor being configured to

transmit, to the information processing apparatus, the first input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the request task, and

transmit, to the information processing apparatus, the second input information in a case where the created template is used in performing the report task, and

wherein in response to receiving a request to create the template, the second processor outputs screen data for displaying, on a display device, a screen including a creation field and a setting field in which a permission is set for the template on a per user basis, wherein the permission is one or more of template management permission, template use permission, document data viewing permission, and document data editing permission.
