Abstract: An apparatus for managing a workflow includes a workflow processing unit that includes a document generating unit that generates a circular document while setting a flow definition to make an approval route indicating a circulation order in which the circular document is to be circulated, and a transmission definition for a mail for notifying presence of the circular document to a client on the approval route, based on requests from the client, to a prototype in an operation application for generating a circular; and a proxy unit that records requests that relates to the circular document and that are transmitted from the client during circulation of the circular document, and that generates a test scenario in which the requests are arranged following the circulation order.

Abstract: A workflow-management apparatus includes a print-of-a-seal form defining unit 21 for receiving registration of form information specifying a form of a print of a seal and for receiving a change of the form information, and a print-of-a-seal image creating unit 26 for creating a print-of-a-seal image according to form information registered in the print-of-a-seal form defining unit 21. The workflow-management apparatus can add a print-of-a-seal image to a circulating electronic document.

Abstract: A workflow management apparatus includes a circulation destination specification unit 14 for managing a status of circulation of an electronic document registered by a registration unit 12, and for specifying a next person to whom the electronic document is to be circulated for the next time with reference to workflow information registered by the registration unit 12, and a notification unit 15 for transmitting a notification of circulation of the electronic document to a terminal used by the next person specified by the circulation destination specification unit 14. In response to a request for circulation of the electronic document from the terminal used by the next person to whom the notification unit 15 has transmitted a notification of circulation of the electronic document, the workflow management apparatus allows the next person to peruse and check the electronic document registered by the registration unit 12.
