DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of a setting work support device, a setting work support method, and a setting work support program according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[1. overview]
As the business environment changes rapidly, it is essential that information systems keep up with the speed of business management, and speedy system changes are required. Under these circumstances, low-code development tools (including non-code development tools) are attracting attention, and their user base is expanding not only to vendors but also to system managers at system-using companies. For this reason, there is a need for a mechanism that can easily and commonly change the layout and behavior of a UI (User Interface).

However, in conventional low-code development tools, it is not possible to flexibly change the layout and behavior settings of an input candidate selection function (so-called pull-down). Furthermore, in the past, pull-down settings were defined as common settings, and the common settings could not be used on each screen.

Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, the following 1 to 3 are made possible.
1. By using a grid structure, etc., the layout when pulling down can be set flexibly.
2. It is now possible to reflect the value in any control (text box, etc.) when selecting a pull-down. In other words, the behavior when pulling down can be set flexibly.
3. Elements in the pull-down settings that are independent of screens can be saved as common settings separate from the screen settings, allowing common changes to be made, reflecting common settings on each screen, and changing operations between screens. Made it possible to unify. On the other hand, screen-dependent elements can now be specified individually for each screen.

In short, in this embodiment, for example, when setting an input candidate selection function (pulldown) using a low-code development tool, a screen developer can freely customize the layout and behavior during pulldown. In addition, in this embodiment, for example, pull-down settings that are common to each screen can be saved in advance as common settings, so that the screen developer can use the common settings when developing a new screen. Enabled screen development. The specific configuration and operation will be described below.

According to the setting work support device 100 according to the present embodiment, when a specific location on the screen is selected, a pull-down mode is provided, which is a function of displaying specific information that is a candidate for input to the specific location as an option. It is possible to support flexible settings regarding input modes during screen development.

The display/input item storage unit 102a displays items in the API master 106a during screen development, and when a screen developer selects a specific item from the displayed items, the display/input item storage unit 102a stores the selected item in the specific form. The specific information is displayed as the option at the time of pull-down, and the selected specific information is stored as a display/input item that is automatically input into the specific location.

When a location other than the specific location on the screen is selected by the screen developer during screen development, the other location storage unit 102b automatically inputs the specific information into the selected location other than the specific location. It is stored as another location that is the same location.

The display mode storage unit 102c stores the display mode in which the specific information is displayed during pull-down, which is set by the screen developer during screen development.

For example, the display mode storage unit 102c displays the item in the API master 106a during screen development, and when another item is selected from the displayed item in addition to the display/input item, the display mode storage unit 102c displays the selected item. Other items are stored together with the specific information about the display/input items as a joint display item, which is an item that is displayed when the specific information is pulled down.

The display mode storage unit 102c stores, for example, a default layout in which the specific information of the display/input item and the specific information of the co-display item are displayed side by side when pulled down, and the specific information of the display/input item. A display mode according to a layout selected by the screen developer among a custom layout in which information and the specific information of the co-display items are displayed when pulled down according to the settings of the screen developer is stored.

When the custom layout is selected, the settings made by the screen developer include, for example, the display position when the specific information of the display/input item and the specific information of the co-display item are displayed at the time of pull-down; These are settings related to size, shading, and thickness.

Automatically fill in selected specific information.

Note that in this embodiment, screen development is screen development performed without writing any source code (so-called non-code development), or screen development performed without writing almost any source code (so-called low-code development). It is preferable.

[3. Processing overview]
In this item, an overview of the processing according to this embodiment will be explained.

[3-1. [Flexible settings for values displayed during pull-down]
Applications have traditionally had an input candidate selection function (so-called pull-down function) to assist the operator's input. The pull-down function is, for example, when a predetermined text box is selected by the operator as shown in FIG. 2(A), input candidates for the text box are displayed in detail as shown in FIG. , and finally, the selected details are automatically input into the text box as shown in FIG. 2(C).

However, in the past, as shown in Figure 2, once the information such as "business partner code, business partner name" is set as the value displayed during pulldown, it is time-consuming to change this setting. For example, it was not easy to configure settings to display attribute information such as "address" in addition to this information.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the values displayed at the time of pull-down can be flexibly set, so for example, in addition to the values of "business partner code, business partner name", "address" can be set as shown in FIG. ” value can also be displayed.

[3-2. Flexible settings for values displayed on mouseover]
Similarly, in the past, detailed information displayed in a balloon or the like when the details displayed in a pull-down menu were selected (moused over) with a mouse was also fixed. For example, as shown in the balloon in Figure 4, once the information such as "department and person in charge" is set, it is time-consuming to change this setting. It was not easy to configure settings to display information such as "number" in speech bubbles.

In contrast, in this embodiment, the values displayed in the balloon when the mouse is hovered over can be flexibly set, so for example, in addition to the values of "department and person in charge", " Address and corporate number values can also be displayed in balloons.

[3-3. Flexible display settings]
In this embodiment, since the display mode (layout such as display position, font size, shading, thickness, etc.) during pull-down can be flexibly set, the operator can Values can be displayed when pulled down in a desired display manner.

[3-4. Setting return values to multiple locations]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, when a certain point on the screen is selected and a certain value is selected from among the values displayed by the pulldown, the selected value (return) is displayed as shown in FIG. value) can be reflected not only at the certain location but also at other locations on the screen. In other words, the return value can be reflected in multiple locations.

[3-5. Common setting]
Here, the settings made for a certain part of the screen in [3-1] to [3-4] above need to be reflected in the same part of another screen. However, it is troublesome to make the same settings again, so in this embodiment, common settings are made available for use when making pull-down settings for locations that do not depend on the screen. For example, if the same location exists on one screen and another screen due to common settings, you can set common settings for [3-1] to [3-3] once when setting the pulldown for that screen. , the common settings can be used when making pull-down settings for another screen (note that even when using the common settings, [3-4] must be set again for each screen).

On the other hand, in this embodiment, when performing pull-down settings for screen-dependent locations, settings for [3-1] to [3-4] are made for each screen.

[4. Specific example of processing]
In this item, a specific example of processing according to this embodiment will be described. In [4-1] below, the settings of the API master 106a will be explained, in [4-2] below, the pull-down settings, which are the key points of the present invention, will be explained, and in [4-3] below, , the operation during pulldown execution will be explained.

Here, the low-code platform includes a setting screen operated by a screen developer and an execution screen operated by a business operator. The former is explained in [4-2] below, and the latter is explained in [4-3] below.

On a setting screen operated by a screen developer, settings for screen layout and event processing are performed through GUI (Graphical User Interface) operations. As shown in FIG. 8, information on the setting screen is saved in a setting information database.

On the execution screen operated by the business operator, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting information set on the setting screen is read, the setting information is developed in the memory on the Web server, and the application is executed.

[4-1. API master 106a settings]
(1) Overview When setting pull-down, data can be displayed by calling the contents of the set API master 106a. In other words, as a premise for pull-down settings, it is necessary to set the API master 106a in advance, so in this item, we will explain how to set the API master 106a.

By importing API information (method interface) into the API master 106a, it can be used as pull-down settings. That is, the interface information in the module is imported as the API master 106a.

(2) Data stored in the API master 106a The API master 106a is a master that stores interface information of arguments and return values of methods marked with specific attributes within a module. FIG. 10 shows column information of the API master 106a. FIG. 11 shows types of arguments and return values, descriptions of types, properties, and descriptions of properties in a table.

(3) Capturing operation and captured data In this item, an example of C# code in a module and an example of data (API master 106a) that captures that information will be explained.

FIG. 12 shows an example of importing method information. FIGS. 13 and 14 show examples of importing method argument information. FIG. 15 shows an example of C#. FIG. 16 shows an example of the API master 106a generated by importing C# information.

As shown in FIG. 16, the API master 106a includes, for example, an API identifier (API key), a method name, a display name, an argument, a return value, and the like. The return value further includes the item to which the specific information belongs. The API master 106a in FIG. 16 includes six items: "Business Partner CD," "Business Partner Name," "Department in Charge," "Person in Charge," "Address," and "Corporate Number." ing. As a result, the details will be explained in [4-2] below, but the screen developer can select a specific item from the six items as the item for displaying specific information at the time of pull-down.

[4-2. Pull-down settings]
In this item, pull-down settings, which are a feature of the present invention, will be explained. Note that as a prerequisite for performing pulldown settings, it is necessary to register API interface information in the API master 106a in advance in order to obtain data to be displayed during pulldown, but in this item, the API master 106a is , It is assumed that the contents described in [4-1] have been registered in advance. This item assumes a scenario in which a screen developer develops a screen (development scene).

Here, there are two types of pulldown settings: individual pulldown settings and pulldown settings using a common pulldown, so each item will be explained separately below.

[4-2-1. Individual pull-down settings]
This item explains the settings for individual pulldowns (different pulldowns for each screen).

(1) Assignment of pulldown to controls First, as shown in FIG. 17, "Customer From" is selected as the location (control) for which a pulldown is to be set, and the "+" button to add a pulldown is pressed.

When the add button is pressed, a pop-up for selecting the type of pulldown is activated as shown in FIG. 18, and either "Create individual pulldown" or "Use common pulldown" is selected. In this example, in order to perform individual settings, it is assumed that "Create individual pulldown" is selected, as shown in FIG.

When an individual pulldown is selected, a pulldown definition is created with the name "New Pulldown" as shown in FIG. 19.

(2) Selection of API type Next, from the "API selection" tab, the API for acquiring data to be displayed during pull-down is selected.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, first, the definition name is changed from "New Pulldown" to "Business Partner Pulldown." Next, as shown in FIG. 20, when the "API selection" tab is pressed, the APIs registered in advance in the API master 106a are "Business office data acquisition processing", "Department data acquisition processing", and "Transaction data acquisition processing". APIs such as "destination data acquisition processing" and "billing destination data acquisition processing" are displayed. In this example, it is assumed that "supplier data acquisition processing" is selected as the API.

(3) Argument settings Next, arguments for the API are set from the "Argument settings" tab. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the value of the base date text on the screen is set as an argument in the "base date" field.

(4) Setting of return value Next, from the "return value selection" tab, the return value to be reflected in the location selected in (1) is selected when the pull-down is selected.

Specifically, as shown in the API master 106a in FIG. 16, return value items include "Business Partner CD", "Business Partner Name", "Department in Charge", "Person in Charge", "Address", and "Corporation". If six items called "Number" are set, the display/input item storage unit 102a displays the six items as shown in the screen of FIG.

Then, if "Business Partner CD" is selected among the six displayed items, the display/input item storage unit 102a displays "Business Partner CD" as a specific information option when pulling down, In addition, the selected specific information is stored as a display/input item that is automatically input into the location selected in (1).

As a result, when pulling down the part selected in (1), the specific information of "Customer CD" (for example, A0001) will be displayed as an option, and the specific information selected in (1) will be displayed as an option. will be automatically entered in the specified location.

(5) Setting multiple return values Next, from the "Multiple return value settings" tab, you can set to return specific information to a location other than the pulldown display location (the location selected in (1)) when a pulldown is selected. be done.

Specifically, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 23, when the location of business partner To is selected, the other location storage unit 102b stores the location of business partner To as specific information about "business partner CD". is stored as another location that is automatically entered.

As a result, when the specific information of "Business Partner CD" (for example, B0001) is selected from the pulldown of the part selected in (1), the selected specific information is selected in (1). It is automatically input not only to the customer From, which is the selected location, but also to the customer To, which is the location selected in this item (5), as shown in the execution screen of FIG.

(6) Display Layout Settings Next, the pull-down layout is set from the "Display Layout Settings" tab. There are two types of layout display formats: default layout and custom layout, so each item will be explained separately below.

(6-1) When set using a default layout The default layout is a layout in which data (specific information) is displayed side by side. The data to be displayed is set by checking "Default Layout" and selecting the display item when pulling down from among the return value candidates (multiple selections possible), as shown in the settings screen in Figure 24. be able to.

In this example, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 24, two items, "Business Partner CD" and "Business Partner Name", are selected, so the display mode storage unit 102c stores these two items in the default setting. It is stored as an item to be displayed depending on the layout.

As a result, when the location selected in (1) is pulled down, specific information about "supplier CD" and "supplier name" are displayed side by side, as shown in the execution screen of FIG. 24.

(6-2) When set by custom layout A custom layout is a layout that uses a grid structure or the like to display data (specific information) in accordance with the settings of the screen developer. In the case of a custom layout, as shown in the settings screen of FIG. 25, it is necessary to check "Custom Layout" and then perform predetermined settings from the "Layout" tab and the "Properties" tab.

First, we will explain the settings made on the "Layout" tab. From the "Layout" tab, settings for adding columns, adding rows, merging cells, unmerging settings, centering the displayed content left and right, etc. can be performed. FIG. 26 shows an image of how to add columns, add rows, and combine cells.

Here, the information that constitutes the layout includes a grid container and grid items.

A grid container is a frame that divides the screen to be designed into a grid pattern, and holds information about the number of divisions and the length of divisions for horizontal and vertical lines. The grid container further includes template column information (information about the number of divisions and length at division for horizontal lines) and template row information (information about the number of divisions and length at division for vertical lines). Hold.

In this example, it is assumed that the grid container is set as shown on the left side of FIG. 27. In this case, the grid container information is retained as shown on the right side of FIG. 27.

A grid item is an element placed within a grid container, and holds information about its own position and occupied area within the grid container. Grid items also contain column index information (horizontal position information within the grid container), row index information (vertical position information within the grid container), and column join information (horizontal occupied area within the grid container). information) and row combination information (information about the vertically occupied area within the grid container).

In this example, it is assumed that the grid items are set as shown on the left side of FIG. In this case, the grid item information is retained as shown on the right side of FIG.

Since the three cells shown in the settings screen of FIG. 25 are generated by the settings from the "Layout" tab, three items can be selected as display items when pulled down. In this example, although not shown, it is assumed that three items are selected: "Business Partner CD," "Business Partner Name," and "Address." In this case, the display mode storage unit 102c stores the three items as items to be displayed using the custom layout.

Next, the settings made from the "Properties" tab will be explained. From the "Properties" tab, as shown in FIG. 29, it is possible to set the display size, shading, boldness, and other styles for each piece of specific information. In this example, although not shown, the item "Business Partner Name" is set to be larger in size than other items, darker than other items, and displayed in bold.

The display mode storage unit 102c stores the selected three items ("Business Partner CD", "Business Partner Name", and "Address") in the display mode set on the "Properties" tab. In this example, as explained in the previous paragraph, only the "Business Partner Name" is set from the "Properties" tab.

Once the settings have been made using the custom layout described in (6-2) above, specific information about "supplier CD", "supplier name" and "address" will be displayed as shown in the execution screen in Figure 25. displayed in the following manner. The display mode is in accordance with the layout settings shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 and the property settings shown in FIG. 29.

(7) Setting detailed information Finally, from the "Detailed information setting" tab, set the information for the balloon that will be displayed when the mouse hovers over the details displayed during pull-down. As the balloon information, a plurality of pairs of captions (items) and display data (specific information) are set.

Specifically, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 30, the pair "caption = department in charge, display data = department in charge" and the pair "caption = person in charge, display data = person in charge" are set. Then, the detailed information storage unit 102d changes the two items "department in charge" and "person in charge" to specific information about "client CD", which is the item selected in (4), when the mouse is hovered over the item selected in (4). The item itself and specific information about the item are stored as detailed display items, which are items displayed in a balloon when pulled down, as detailed information on the specific information that is moused over.

As a result, as shown in the execution screen in Figure 30, when the details displayed when pulling down the part selected in (1) (for example, "B0001 Supplier B") are moused over, "Item name: Specific ``Department in charge: XXX'' and ``Person in charge: XXXXX'' are displayed in a speech bubble as ``Personal Information''.

(8) Structure of saved data According to the settings made in (1) to (7) above, the control information 106b and pulldown information 106c are stored in a linked state via the pulldown relation information 106d. . Three pieces of information, control information 106b, pulldown information 106c, and pulldown relationship information 106d, are stored in the UI information master. The three pieces of information will be explained below.

The control information 106b is information that stores the elements that make up the screen layout, that is, it is information that stores the settings made in (1). A control is an element on the screen. As shown in FIG. 31, the control information 106b stores, for example, an identifier for identifying a control that is a parent element, a type, an identifier for identifying a control that is a child element, text, etc. . The location on the screen where the pull-down is set in (1) corresponds to the identifier "1-2-1-4-1-1" shown in bold letters in the control information 106b shown in FIG. 31.

The pulldown information 106c is information that stores the operation at the time of pulldown, that is, it is information that stores the settings made in (2) to (7). As shown in FIG. 32, the pulldown information 106c includes, for example, an identifier for identifying each pulldown, a pulldown type, a pulldown name, an API identifier, the argument set in (3), and ( The return value set in step 4), the multiple return values set in step (5), the display layout set in step (6), and the detailed information set in step (7) are stored. Note that when the display layout set in (6) is a custom layout, information on the display layout is stored, for example, as shown in FIG. 33.

The pulldown relation information 106d is information for linking the pulldown information 106c to a specific control in the control information 106b. As shown in FIG. 34, the pulldown relation information 106d includes, for example, an identifier for identifying a control (control identifier), an identifier for identifying each pulldown (pulldown identifier), and the like. In the pulldown relation information 106d shown in FIG. 34, a control identifier "1-2" is used to identify the location on the screen where the pulldown is set in (1) (the location enclosed in a thick frame in the screen example of FIG. 34). -1-4-1-1" is associated with a pull-down identifier "1" for identifying the pull-down settings made in (2) to (7).

In this way, by associating a specific pull-down identifier with a specific control identifier, it is possible to define what kind of action will be performed at which location on the screen when pulling down.

As described above in this item [4-2-1], according to the setting work support device 100 according to the present embodiment, the display mode of the options displayed when pulling down a specific location on the screen and the selected This allows for flexible settings regarding the input mode of options.

[4-2-2. Pulldown settings using common pulldown]
This item describes pulldown settings using common pulldowns (common pulldowns that do not depend on screens).

(1) Setting a common pulldown In order to set up a pulldown using a common pulldown, it is necessary to set up a common pulldown. Therefore, first, the common pulldown settings will be explained.

First, the start screen for common pulldown settings shown in FIG. 35 is opened, and by pressing the "Add" button on the start screen, the common pulldown settings screen shown in FIG. 36 is activated.

Next, the name of the common pulldown is set. In this example, as shown in FIG. 37, the name "common supplier data pulldown" is set.

Of the settings described in (1) to (7) of [4-2-1], those that do not depend on the screen are set as common pull-downs. That is, since "API type selection", "return value setting", "display layout setting", and "detailed information setting" are common to each screen, they are set as common pull-downs. The setting method and setting contents are the same as the method explained in [4-2-1], so the explanation will be omitted.

By setting this item (1), the pull-down information 106c (common setting information) shown in FIG. 38 is saved as a common pull-down.

(2) Pulldown setting using common pulldown Next, pulldown setting is performed using the common pulldown set in (1).

First, as shown in FIG. 39, "Customer From" is selected as the location (control) for which a pull-down is to be set, and the "+" pull-down add button is pressed.

When the add button is pressed, a pop-up for selecting the type of pulldown is activated as shown in FIG. 40, and either "Create individual pulldown" or "Use common pulldown" is selected. In this example, in order to perform settings using a common pulldown, it is assumed that "Use common pulldown" is selected, as shown in FIG. 40.

When "Use common pulldown" is selected, a selection box for selecting a common pulldown is displayed, as shown in FIG. 40. In this example, as shown in FIG. 41, it is assumed that the "supplier data common pulldown" set in (1) is selected as the common pulldown.

When a common pulldown to be used is selected, a pulldown definition is created with the name "New Pulldown" as shown in FIG. 42. As shown in FIG. 42, as the subtitle of "New Pulldown", "Business Partner Data Common Pulldown", which is the common pulldown in use, is displayed.

Here, as shown in Figure 42, for "API type selection", "return value setting", "display layout setting" and "detail information setting" set as common pull-downs in (1), The corresponding tab is locked with a padlock and cannot be changed.

On the other hand, "argument setting" and "multiple return value setting" are set as described below.

Arguments for the API are set from the "Argument Settings" tab. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 43, the value of the base date text on the screen is set as an argument in the "base date" item of the argument.

Also, from the "Multiple Return Value Settings" tab, settings can be made to return specific information to a location other than the pulldown display location when a pulldown is selected. Specifically, although not shown in the figure, when the location of business partner To is selected, the other location storage unit 102b automatically inputs specific information about "business partner CD" in the location of business partner To. Memorize it as a place.

By setting this item (2), the pull-down information 106c (information other than the common setting information) shown in FIG. 44 is saved.

(3) Structure of saved data The common setting storage unit 102e stores the pull-down information 106c (information other than the common setting information) shown in FIG. 44 stored in the other storage unit 102b in (2), and the settings in (1) The pull-down information 106c (common setting information) shown in FIG. 38 is linked and managed. The common pull-down identifier "1" becomes the key information for realizing the association.

As described above in this item [4-2-2], according to the setting work support apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, if common setting information is set in advance during screen development for a certain screen, By using the set common setting information when developing a screen for another screen, pull-down settings can be easily and quickly performed.

[4-3. Behavior when executing pulldown]
This item describes the operation when executing pulldown using the pulldown settings made in [4-2]. This item assumes a scene (execution scene) in which a business operator (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "operator") performs screen operations using the developed screen.

(1) Overview of operations during execution When an operator operates a business screen, as shown in FIG. 45, setting information is read from the setting information database and operations are executed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 45, at the timing when the screen is activated, information necessary for execution is written to the memory and held.

(2) Processing when the screen is started Next, FIG. 46 shows the processing flow when the screen is started. As shown in FIG. 46, target screen data (control information 106b, pulldown information 106c, and pulldown relation information 106d) is read from the UI definition table and expanded on the memory. Subsequently, the screen state on the memory is converted to Html and returned to the client (operator).

(3) Reading of pull-down information Next, the pull-down information 106c is read. Specifically, in the case of individual pulldown, pulldown information 106c is developed on the memory as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in the case of a common pulldown, as shown in FIG. 47, based on the common pulldown identifier "1" set in the pulldown definition (pulldown information 106c in FIG. 106c), and then the pull-down information 106c is developed on the memory.

In this way, in both individual pulldown and common pulldown, as shown in Figure 48, "Identifier", "Name", "API Identifier", "Argument", "Return Value", "Multiple Return Values" Pull-down information 106c containing information on "Settings", "Display Layout" and "Detailed Information Settings" is developed on the memory.

(4) Processing during pull-down display Next, pull-down display is executed. Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given along the flow shown in FIG. 49.

First, as shown in FIG. 49, a pull-down identifier associated with a control is sent to the server.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, pulldown information 106c on the memory is specified based on the pulldown identifier sent to the server. An example of the specified pull-down information 106c is shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, a method in the module is identified based on the API identifier in the identified pull-down information 106c, and method information, arguments, and return values are read (processing for reading API information). similar).

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, an argument object is generated from the read argument information. An example of the generated argument object is shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, a value is set in the argument object generated in the previous paragraph based on the screen state using the argument information in the specified pull-down information 106c. FIG. 51 shows an example of the process of setting a value to an argument object.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, the argument object with the set value is passed to the method and the API is executed.

Next, as shown in Figure 49, a return value object is received. Specifically, when the return value object and the pulldown information 106c are as shown in FIG. 52, the pulldown display section 102f executes the following process.

That is, the pull-down display section 102f acquires "A0001" as specific information regarding the item "Client CD" related to the return value in the pull-down information 106c. In addition, the pull-down display section 102f obtains "A0001" and "Business Partner A" as specific information regarding the display layout-related items "Business Partner CD" and "Business Partner Name" in the pull-down information 106c, respectively. . Then, the pull-down display section 102f obtains "department A" and "person in charge A" as specific information regarding the detailed information setting items "department in charge" and "person in charge" in the pull-down information 106c, respectively. do.

In this way, the pull-down display unit 102f receives from the return value object specific information that should be displayed during pull-down and input when selecting pull-down, and output information is generated in a list as shown in FIG. . An example of generated output information is shown in FIG.

As an example of a display during pull-down, a display based on the output information in FIG. 53 will be described. When the operator selects the "Business Partner From" section of the Business Partner CD on the screen, the pull-down display section 102f displays the "Business Partner From" section, which is the display/input item stored in the display/input item storage section 102a. ”, the return value in the output information of FIG. 53 is displayed as an option. That is, the pull-down display section 102f displays "A0001" and "B0001" as pull-down options.

At this time, the pull-down display section 102f also displays the information on the right side of the display text in the output information of FIG. 53 as an option, as a joint display item stored in the display mode storage section 102c. That is, the pull-down display section 102f displays "Business Partner A" together with "A0001", and displays "Business Partner B" together with "B0001".

Further, when a specific option is moused over by the operator, the pull-down display unit 102f displays detailed information in the output information of FIG. 53 in a balloon as the detailed information stored in the detailed display item storage unit 102d. That is, when "A0001" is moused over, the pull-down display section 102f displays "department in charge: department in charge A" and "person in charge: person in charge A" in a balloon, while "B0001" is moused over. When the number is exceeded, "Department in charge: Department in charge B" and "Person in charge: Person in charge B" are displayed in a balloon.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 49, the generated output information is returned to the client (operator), and a display layout for pull-down is generated based on the returned output information. Examples of generated display layouts are shown in FIG. 54, divided into a default layout and a custom layout.

(5) Processing when selecting a pulldown Finally, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 55, the pulldown input unit 102g reflects the return value and multiple return values on the control.

Specifically, when specific specific information is selected from the options displayed by the pull-down display section 102f, the pull-down input section 102g selects not only the pull-down location but also other locations stored in the other location storage section 102b. Specific information is also automatically input (returned) in the "multiple return values" section of the corresponding output information in FIG. 56. In other words, the control identifier "1-2-1-4-2-1" is set as "multiple return values" in the output information in Figure 56, but this identifier is not the same as the client CD on the screen. Corresponds to the “Business Partner To” section. Therefore, if "A0001" is selected at the time of pull-down, the pull-down input section 102g only selects the "From" part (left side) of the client CD on the screen, as shown in the screen example of FIG. 56. Instead, the selected "A0001" is automatically entered (returned) in the "Business Partner To" section (right side) of the Business Partner CD on the screen.

As described above in this item [4-3], according to the setting work support device 100 according to the present embodiment, the work operator operates the screen based on the pull-down settings made by the screen developer. be able to.
