Fa-device-configuration-design supporting apparatus and program

An FA-device-configuration-design supporting apparatus that performs editing of a profile including individual identification information and a definition of setting of an FA device and a setting range of the setting, the FA-device-configuration-design supporting apparatus comprising:

• a profile storing unit that stores the profile;
• a user-specific-information-region securing unit that secures, for the profile in the profile storing unit, a write-content input region in which a setting value specific to a user can be written concerning content of an item defined in the profile and a write-permission-flag input region in which a flag indicating whether editing of the setting value for the item is permitted;
• a user-specific-information writing unit that writes, in the write-content input region, a setting value or a range of setting value of the item indicated by the flag as editable among the content defined in the profile edited by a first user;
• and
• a user-specific-information saving unit that saves, as a user-defined profile, in the profile storing unit, the profile including the content input to the write-content input region and the flag, wherein
• in the user defined profile, a setting value or a range of setting value concerning an item the flag of which indicating editable is editable,
• when securing the write-content input region and the write-permission-flag input region, the user-specific-information-region securing unit sets a first flag in the write-permission-flag input region when the content defined in the profile is un-editable information and sets a second flag in the write-permission-flag input region when the content defined in the profile is editable information, and
• together with the writing of the setting value specific to the user in the write-content input region, the user-specific-information writing unit writes a third flag, which indicates that the setting value specific to the user is written, in the write-permission-flag input region corresponding to the write-content input region in which the setting value is written.
