ABSTRACT:
A workspace management section collects resources related to a job and manages them as a workspace separately from resource management of a primary resource management section. The workspace has resource administration information as job relevant information, area information on a display screen, a base image, etc. A program can define the area information together with areas on the screen. A workspace display section superposes icons corresponding to the resources on the base image for display. The icons can be moved by a resource placement section. When an icon is moved to a different area, a job support processing execution section executes a program defined corresponding to the area to which the icon is moved, whereby different meanings can be imparted to the same resource depending on the area in which the corresponding icon is placed.
