ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a workflow support system and a method of the same that enables to refer to and to trace the history and progress state of the control information, as to a workflow transferring into a different system and an atypical task. The data base contains a task control information for executing a workflow, and the conversion unit converts a task information into a task sheet being an electronic document, which is stored in the document data base or the open document server. The task control information contains a relation between the tasks and a pointer indicating a storage location of a task sheet corresponding to the task, and the pointer is contained also in the task sheet. The task sheets are linked by this pointer. Tracing this pointer makes it possible to refer to the task sheets of the tasks involved, to grasp the progress state, and further to trace the task sheets involved.
