  • Patent number: 9965235
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores computer-readable instructions which are readable by a controller of a device provided with a communication interface and a notification interface. The computer-readable instructions, when executed by the controller, cause the device to perform determining whether pre-operations defined in multiple jobs contained in a workflow have successfully completed. In response to determination that the pre-operations have successfully completed, the device is caused to execute a main-process in which main-operations respectively defined in the multiple jobs contained in the workflow in order. In response to determination that at least one of the pre-operations has abended, the notification interface is caused to notify that the multiple jobs defined in the workflow are inexecutable.
