Abstract
The invention provides a technique for allowing a user lack of high level technical knowledge on a program of an approval route to easily create an electric form template. For creating an electric form template having an application part where an application item to be approved is input and an address part where one or more approval officers to approve the application item are specified, a plurality of approval routes each having an approval function to obtain approval of an approval officer for an electric form are prepared, so that an address part and a necessary approval function can be incorporated into a template by selecting an approval pattern.
Claims12
An electric form handling system in which an applicant is allowed to write an electric form having an application part where an application item to be approved is input and an address part where one or more approval officers to approve said application item are specified, and in which application filing of said electric form by said applicant and approval for said electric form by said approval officers specified by said applicant are practiced via a computer network, comprising:
- template creation supporting means for allowing a draftsman to create a form template, which is invoked by said applicant to be used in writing said electric form, and storing said created form template by request,
- wherein said template creation supporting means includes:
- application part creation supporting means for allowing said draftsman to create said application part by request;
- and
- address part creation supporting means for allowing said draftsman to create said address part by request, and
- said address part creation supporting means is provided with a plurality of approval patterns each having an approval function to obtain approval of said approval officers for said electric form, and when an approval pattern is selected by said draftsman from said plurality of approval patterns, an address part and an approval function corresponding to said selected approval pattern are incorporated into said form template.
An electric form handling program, used in an electric form handling system in which an applicant is allowed to write an electric form having an application part where an application item to be approved is input and an address part where one or more approval officers to approve said application item are specified and in which application filing of said electric form by said applicant and approval for said electric form by said approval officers specified by said applicant are practiced via a computer network, for template creation support for allowing a draftsman to create a form template to be invoked by said applicant for use in writing said electric form and storing said created form template by request,
- said electric form handling program allowing a computer to execute:
- to accept a form template creation request from said draftsman and request said draftsman to select a necessary approval pattern from a plurality of approval patterns;
- to support creation of said address part by incorporating, into said form template, an address part corresponding to said selected approval pattern and an approval function corresponding to said selected approval pattern to obtain approval of said approval officers for said electric form;
- and
- to support creation of said application part.
A computer-readable recording medium recording an electric form handling program, used in an electric form handling system in which an applicant is allowed to write an electric form having an application part where an application item to be approved is input and an address part where one or more approval officer to approve said application item are specified and in which application filing of said electric form by said applicant and approval for said electric form by said approval officers specified by said applicant are practiced via a computer network, for template creation support for allowing a draftsman to create a form template to be invoked by said applicant for use in writing said electric form and storing said created form template by request,
- said electric form handling program allowing a computer to execute:
- to accept a form template creation request from said draftsman and request said draftsman to select a necessary approval pattern from a plurality of approval patterns;
- to support creation of said address part by incorporating, into said form template, an address part corresponding to said selected approval pattern and an approval function corresponding to said selected approval pattern to obtain approval of said approval officers for said electric form;
- and
- to support creation of said application part.
An electric form handling method, used in an electric form handling system in which an applicant is allowed to write an electric form having an application part where an application item to be approved is input and an address part where one or more approval officers to approve said application item are specified and in which application filing of said electric form by said applicant and approval for said electric form by said approval officers specified by said applicant are practiced via a computer network, for creating, by using a computer, a form template to be invoked by said applicant for use in writing said electric form,
- wherein said computer stores a plurality of approval patterns each having an approval function to obtain approval of said approval officers for said electric form, and
- when a necessary approval pattern is selected, for creating said form template, from said plurality of approval patterns stored in said computer, an address part and an approval function corresponding to said selected approval pattern are incorporated into said form template.
