Edition control system, image processing apparatus, and recording medium

An image processing apparatus controlling customization of a UI screen, comprising:

• a screen manager configured to manage UI part information indicating a UI part displayable on a UI screen;
• a user information manager configured to manage screen configuration information of the UI screen for at least one user;
• an edition controller configured to, when receiving a display request to display the UI screen from an information processing apparatus connected to the image processing apparatus via a network, generate screen information of the UI screen based on the UI part information managed by the screen manager and the screen configuration information that is managed by the user information manager and that corresponds to the user relevant to the display request, the UI screen being requested to be displayed;
• a Web application controller configured to convert the generated screen information into an HTML format, and generate Web screen information of a Web screen where the UI screen is edited and that includes the screen information in the HTML format and a script for screen operation;
• and
• a communicator configured to transmit the generated Web screen information to the information processing apparatus, and receive edition information indicating the UI screen where editing is confirmed by the script from the information processing apparatus;
• wherein the edition controller is configured to set the screen configuration information of the UI screen based on the edition information in the user information manager.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a microprocessor to perform the following steps:

• generating, when receiving a display request of a UI screen from an information processing apparatus, screen information of the UI screen based on UI part information and screen configuration information, the UI part information being managed by a screen manager managing UI part information indicating a UI part displayable on the UI screen, the screen configuration information being managed by a user information manager managing the screen configuration information of the UI screen for at least one user and corresponding to the user relevant to the display request, the UI screen being requested to be displayed;
• converting the generated screen information into an HTML format and generating Web screen information of a Web screen where the UI screen is edited and that includes the screen information in the HTML format and a script for screen operation;
• transmitting the generated Web screen information to the information processing apparatus;
• receiving edition information indicating the UI screen where editing is confirmed by the script from the information processing apparatus;
• and
• setting the screen configuration information of the UI screen based on the edition information in the user information manager.
