Abstract: A project management program in a client computer associates attribute information with each of individual data, and generates a script containing a step of selecting that attribute information. An automatic installation program for an image forming apparatus executes the script and applies the individual data associated with an attribute specified through an operating panel.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus installs, in its own apparatus, of software and setting values corresponding to the software stored in an external storage device in accordance with a script acquired from the external storage device after the external storage device is connected. The information processing apparatus provides an input screen for the setting values when the setting values are not stored in the external storage device upon installation of the setting values according to the script, installs the software by use of the inputted setting values, stores the inputted setting values in the external storage device, and overwrites the script stored in the external storage device so that the stored setting values are referred.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring script information from a first storage unit storing the script information including identification information capable of identifying processing, user information of a user who can use a function by the processing, and user information of a proxy who can use the functions as a substitute, identifying script information specified through a user operation out of the script information acquired by the acquisition, determining whether user information of a login user is included in the script information, extracting, when the user information is determined to be included therein, authority information associated with the user information of the user included in the script information from a second storage unit storing authority information indicating authority to use the function and the user information in an associated way, and executing the script information according to the authority included in the authority information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines whether a particular operation on a first file, for example, is restricted or not. The information processing apparatus also restricts the particular operation on a second file related to the first file if the particular operation on the first file is restricted.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of processing an image based on a script indicating an execution content of a job includes an execution unit configured to process the script, a classification unit configured to classify the script processed by the execution unit into a plurality of types including an executable type or an inexecutable type by the execution unit, a correction unit configured to correct a content of the script, a notification unit configured to notify a user of the image processing apparatus of the inexecutable type script by the execution unit, and a determination unit configured, when the classification unit classifies the script as the inexecutable type script, to determine when to (a) perform notification by the notification unit or to (b) cause the correction unit to correct the content of the script without notification by the notification unit and to process the corrected script by the execution unit based on the content of the script and a function included in the image processing

Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines whether a particular operation on a first file, for example, is restricted or not. The information processing apparatus also restricts the particular operation on a second file related to the first file if the particular operation on the first file is restricted.

Abstract: In a data processing method, import request data transmitted from a client is received. By comparing the application list against information indicating license settings of the application that are stored in advance, a determination is made as to whether or not the processing specified in a workflow is executable. A temporary workflow list is created, and a determination is made as to whether or not the upper limit for the registerable workflow number and data size is exceeded. When it is determined as registerable, execution data for executing respective workflows and display data for controlling display included in the temporary workflow list are acquired from the client, and the display is controlled so as to display the executable workflow and the inexecutable workflow in a fashion such that the executable workflow and the inexecutable workflow can be identified.

Abstract: This invention provides an image processing apparatus that allows the user to verify the execution result of a created cooperation processing flow, and a control method thereof. To accomplish this, based on registration type information of a cooperation processing flow (script) required to execute a plurality of functions in cooperation with each other, when the cooperation processing flow is in a registered state, an image processing apparatus of this invention executes processing according to the definition of the cooperation processing flow. On the other hand, when the cooperation processing flow is in a provisionally-registered state, the apparatus changes at least one function included in the cooperation processing flow so as to allow the user who executes the cooperation processing flow to verify its execution result, and executes the changed cooperation processing flow.
