Abstract
When an information processing apparatus performs the process, it stores hysteresis data itemizing the process type, the apparatus in charge of processing, the person for instructing the process, the process object information and execution time. Then, necessary hysteresis data are searched for by designating the conditions in the items, desired hysteresis data is selected from the hysteresis data that are found, and the same process (re-printing of the same document) or a new process (saving a printed document with a new file name) is performed for the object in the selected hysteresis data. The hysteresis number is provided for the hysteresis data, and a correlation is provided for the process that caused the process represented by the hysteresis data, and the hysteresis number of the process that is caused by the process represented by the hysteresis data. When a specific hysteresis number is designated for the search for the hysteresis data, it is employed to acquire the hysteresis number for the associated process, and the hysteresis data that has the acquired hysteresis number is also added to be object for a search.
