Title:
WORKFLOW SYSTEM, SERVER, UPDATING AUTHORITY TRANSFER METHOD OF ELECTRONIC FILE AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002091893
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a workflow system which enables an updating authority non-owner to quickly and safely regain updating authority without performing troublesome operations when it is necessary for the updating authority to regain the updating authority from an updating authority owner.
In this workflow system, when an updating authority non-owner is aware of presence of an incomplete electronic file, a regain button 642 (shown in Fig. 6) is depressed on a person-in-charge terminal to regain the updating authority. Then a server 3 refers to the latest processing status (a status table 33 shown in Fig. 4) of the relevant matter and sends the updating authority back to its non-owner if the updating authority can be transferred to the non- owner.
