In step S304, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 displays the organization hierarchy diagram screen. An example of the organizational hierarchy diagram will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen image of an organization hierarchy diagram displayed on the display 210 of the client terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The organizational hierarchy displayed in FIGS. 6 and 7 shows an example having the organizational data as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 consists of organization information 402 and personnel information 403 associated with the organization. The personnel information 403 may have all the field data displayed as a list in 510 of FIG. 5, or may have only a part of the field data. FIG. 4 shows a part of the field data. Further, there is a department in which only the organization information 402 is displayed in FIG. 4 and the personnel information 403 is omitted.

600 in FIG. 6 is an example of displaying the organizational hierarchy of the company, and 601 is the top (root node) of the company organization. 602 is an organization one level below, 603 is an organization two levels below, and 609 is an organization three levels below. In the case of 600, 609 is a leaf node (bottom tissue).

When the "-" button of 608 is pressed, the following layers (in the case of the "-" button 608 of 603, the layer 609 of 603 or less) can be stored and displayed in 603. The "-" button is a so-called convolution button, and the stored 603 button 608 is changed to a "+" button. When the "+" button is pressed, the hierarchy of 609 is displayed again, and 608 is switched to the "-" button. By collapsing the organizational hierarchy like this button, you can select the level to display the lower hierarchy. Since 609 is the lowest tissue, there is no button corresponding to the convolution button 608.

In addition, the organization objects (each node, for example, 601 to 603, 609, etc.) indicating the organization hierarchy are displayed in outline characters, but the organization objects (each node) displayed in outline characters are displayed in the table calculation software. It shows the state (selected state) in which the personnel information of the output organization is selected. On the contrary, when the organization object (each node) is displayed in black (for example, 801 in FIG. 8), it indicates that the corresponding organization object is in the unselected state (non-selected state). .. When the "Excel (registered trademark) output button" 607 is pressed in the state of 600 in FIG. 6, it becomes possible to output the personnel information of the entire organization. The process after pressing the spreadsheet software "Excel (registered trademark) output button" 607 will be described later in the processes after step S313.

604 is an image obtained by reducing the overall image of the organization information, that is, a so-called thumbnail image, and is a diagram showing which part of the entire organization the organization hierarchy diagram displayed as a whole of 600 is displayed.

605 is a title when being output to the spreadsheet software, and is a value input by the user. Reference numeral 606 is a screen transition button, and when the 606 button is pressed, a process of transitioning to the screen of FIG. 5 is performed. Further, by pressing 509 in FIG. 5, it is possible to transition to the screen of 600 in FIG. Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG.

When the organization hierarchy diagram screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed in step S304 of the flowchart of FIG. 3, in the next step S305, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 accepts the user's input or operation.

When the user's input or operation is received, the process transitions to the next step S306, and in step S306, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 divides the process according to the pressed button (object).

In step S306, it is determined whether the organization object (for example, 601 to 603, 609 in FIG. 6) in the organization hierarchy diagram is pressed by the user or the other buttons are pressed. When the organization object is pressed, the process transitions to step S307. Hereinafter, the processes of steps S307 to S311 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12. The process of finally outputting the personnel information of the organization object selected in steps S307 to S311 to the spreadsheet software will be described later in steps S313 and S314.

FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen image of the organization hierarchy diagram displayed on the display 210 of the client terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a region not displayed on the right side of the organization diagram of FIG. It is an organization hierarchy diagram which displayed. The balloons such as 702 shown in FIGS. 7 to 12 and the wording in the balloons are explanatory texts for supplementing the operation explanation of the screen.

In 700 of FIG. 7, an area that was not displayed on the right side of the organizational chart in 600 of FIG. 6 is displayed, and an organizational hierarchy consisting of nine layers is displayed as in 703.

When the organization object (node) 701 is pressed by the user when the organization hierarchy such as 700 is displayed (Yes in step S306), the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 then proceeds to step S307. Transition and acquire whether the pressed organization object (node) is in the selected state or the unselected state.

Since 701 in FIG. 7 is an outline character, it is in the selected state, and since it is in the selected state, it transitions to Yes in step S307, and the process of the next step S311 is executed.

When the process transitions to step S311, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 changes the organization hierarchy below the pressed organization object (node) to the non-selected state. In the example of FIG. 7, the organization object (node) of the organization object 701 or less is set to the non-selected state.

After the processing of step S311, the processing of the application returns to the processing of step S304.

When the process returns to step S304, the organization hierarchy diagram is displayed again. The screen image displayed at this time will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen image of the organization hierarchy diagram displayed on the display 210 of the client terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a screen image after the organization object 701 of FIG. 7 is pressed. It is an organization hierarchy diagram which displayed.

In 800 of FIG. 8, since the organization object 701 is pressed, the area surrounded by the broken line 802, which is the hierarchy below the organization object 801 is changed to the unselected state (the state in which the characters are displayed in black). There is.

In step S305 in the state of 800, when the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 receives the pressing of the organization object 801, the pressed button is the organization object (Yes in step S306), so the process transitions to step S307. In the next step S307, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 performs a process of determining whether or not the pressed tissue object is in the selected state. In the case of 800, since the pressed tissue object 801 is in the non-selected state (the state in which the characters are displayed in black), the determination branch in step S307 transitions to No, and the process of step S308 is executed.

In step S308, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 determines whether the "Ctrl" key or the "Shift" key is pressed at the same time when the tissue object is pressed. When the "Ctrl" key or the "Shift" key is pressed and the organization object is pressed, the selected state of the currently selected organization hierarchy diagram is not changed, and only the pressed organization object and below are pressed. It is a judgment branch to make the selected state. If the organization object is pressed while the "Ctrl (control)" key or "Shift" key is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S309, and the "Ctrl (control)" key or "Shift" key is pressed. If the organization object is pressed while is pressed, the process transitions to step S310.

In the case of 800, the description will be continued as an example in which the organization object 801 is pressed without pressing the "Ctrl (control)" key or the "Shift" key.

In the case of 800, since the organization object 801 is pressed in a state where the “Ctrl (control)” key and the “Shift” key are not pressed, the determination branch in step S308 transitions to No.

When the process transitions to step S309, the CPU 201 of the client terminal 100 changes the entire organization to the non-selected state.

After that, in step S310, the tissue object or less pressed in step S305 is changed to the selected state.

Returning to step S304, the displayed organizational hierarchy diagram will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen image of an organization hierarchy diagram displayed on the display 210 of the client terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and in the state of FIG. 8, the “Ctrl (control)” key and “Control” key and “ It is an organization hierarchy diagram which displayed the screen image after pressing the organization object 801 without pressing the "Shift" key.

In 900 of FIG. 9, only the area surrounded by the broken line 902, which is the hierarchy below the organization object 901, is displayed in the selected state (characters are outline characters). The region in the selected state is the same region as the region 401 in FIG.

With such a selection method, the user can easily select the personnel information below the organizational hierarchy to be displayed. In addition, not only the selected state and the non-selected state are exchanged, but also the unselected organizational hierarchy and below are in the non-selected state, so all the organizations are selected by default, that is, the personnel information acquisition of all the organizations is acquired. It becomes easy to acquire personnel information below a certain organizational hierarchy from the state where it can be done. Preventing mistakes such as the user accidentally outputting to spreadsheet software when all organizations are not selected, and ensuring that at least one of the personnel information of all organizations or the personnel information of a predetermined organization is acquired. it can.

When the "Excel (registered trademark) button" 904 to be output to the spreadsheet software in the state of 900 in FIG. 9 is pressed, the data of the spreadsheet software as shown in FIG. 13 is output. Details will be described later.

It is an organization hierarchy diagram which displayed an image.

In the organization hierarchy diagram of 1000 in FIG. 10, the area 1002 corresponding to the organization object 903 in FIG. 9 and equal to or less than the organization object 1001 in FIG. 10 is displayed as a selection area in outline characters, and other organization objects are not. It is displayed in the selected state (black characters).

The process when the tissue object 1003 is pressed while pressing the "Ctrl" key in the state of 1000 in FIG. 10 will be described.

When the tissue object 1003 of FIG. 10 is pressed while pressing the "Ctrl" key, Yes ("Ctrl (control)" key or "Shift" key is pressed in step S306 in the processing of steps S305 to S310. Since the tissue object is pressed in this state), in this case, the process of step S309 for deselecting all the organizations is not executed, and the process proceeds to step S310. Therefore, the organization object that is already selected is not changed to the non-selected state, and the pressed organization object and below are changed to the selected state. After the change, the process proceeds to step S304, and an example of the displayed organizational hierarchy diagram will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing an example of a screen image of the organization hierarchy diagram displayed on the display 210 of the client terminal 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is an organization while pressing the “Ctrl” key in the state of FIG. It is an organization hierarchy diagram which displayed the screen image after the object 1003 was pressed.
