Collaborative data entry

A program product for supporting input of data necessary for performing business processing, the program, stored on a non-transitory medium, causing a client computer to execute the steps of:

• starting recording of a terminal operation of an input user;
• displaying an input screen of data necessary for the business processing, the input screen including one or more input fields and an interface for designating a delegate input user for at least one of the one or more input fields;
• receiving from the input user a designation of the delegate input user for at least one of the one or more input fields;
• starting reproduction processing of an operation at another client computer by using an input reproduction file created based on recording of a terminal operation of a user at the other client computer;
• stopping the reproduction processing and prompting the delegate input user to input data to be inputted to the input field assigned to the delegate input user;
• receiving a data input from the delegate input user to the input field for which the delegate input user is designated;
• and
• transmitting the inputted data from the delegate input user.

A data processing system comprising hardware including an input user terminal and a delegate input user terminal, each terminal comprising a display device and a user input device, the system programmed to:

• at the input user terminal, start recording of a terminal operation of an input user;
• at the input user terminal, display an input screen of data necessary for business processing, the input screen including one or more input fields and an interface for designating a delegate input user for at least one of the one or more input fields;
• at the input user terminal, receive from the input user a designation of the delegate input user for at least one of the one or more input fields;
• at the delegate input user terminal, start reproduction processing of an operation at the input user terminal by using an input reproduction file created based on the recording of the terminal operation of the input user;
• at the delegate input user terminal, stop the reproduction processing and prompting the delegate input user to input data to be inputted to the input field assigned to the delegate input user;
• at the delegate input user terminal, receive the input of the data from the delegate input user to the input field for which the delegate input user is designated;
• and
• at the delegate input user terminal, transmit the inputted data from the delegate input user.
