Abstract
An information processing apparatus (20) includes: an operation/display portion (22); a reception processing portion (211) that receives a selection operation for selecting an objective related to setting a print job; and a display processing portion (214) that, when the reception processing portion (211) has received the selection operation, displays, among a plurality of setting items G22 to G29 related to the print job, a plurality of specific setting items G22 to G28 that have preliminarily been associated with the objective selected by the selection operation, in such a manner as to be distinguishable from the other setting item G29.
Claims5
An information processing apparatus comprising a processor and a storage device, wherein the processor is configured to function as:
- a reception processing portion configured to receive a selection operation for selecting an objective, wherein a degree of achievement of the objective changes according to a setting content of a job;
- and
- a display processing portion configured to, when the reception processing portion has received the selection operation, display, among a plurality of setting items related to the job, one or more specific setting items that change the degree of achievement of the objective selected by the selection operation, in such a manner as to be distinguishable from other setting items, wherein
- the storage device stores correspondence data that indicates association between contents of the specific setting items and numeral values that indicate levels of conformation to the objectives, and
- the display processing portion, based on the correspondence data stored in the storage device, displays the specific setting items together with the numeral values associated with the contents of the specific setting items, further displays a total value of the numeral values, and each time a content of the specific setting items is changed, updates the displayed numeral values and the displayed total value.
A job setting method executed in an information processing apparatus including a storage device, the job setting method comprising:
- receiving a selection operation for selecting an objective, wherein a degree of achievement of the objective changes according to a setting content of a job;
- and
- when the selection operation has been received, displaying, among a plurality of setting items related to the job, one or more specific setting items that change the degree of achievement of the objective selected by the selection operation, in such a manner as to be distinguishable from other setting items, wherein
- the storage device stores correspondence data that indicates association between contents of the specific setting items and numeral values that indicate levels of conformation to the objectives, and
- based on the correspondence data stored in the storage device, the specific setting items are displayed together with the numeral values associated with the contents of the specific setting items, a total value of the numeral values is further displayed, and each time a content of the specific setting items is changed, the displayed numeral values and the displayed total value are updated.
