Workflow generating apparatus displaying output data of job to be added to workflow, and computer readable storage medium storing program instructions for causing workflow generating apparatus to display the output data

A workflow generating apparatus capable of generating a workflow by combining a plurality of jobs, the workflow generating apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a processor configured to perform:
• receiving a selection of one job to be added to the workflow from among a plurality of selectable jobs;
• acquiring input data to be inputted to the one job;
• specifying, on the basis of the acquired input data, output data to be outputted by execution of the one job, the output data being usable as input data for a job to be executed after execution of the one job in the workflow;
• and
• displaying, on the display, the specified output data in a distinguishable manner.
