Hereinafter, an example of the processing of the file management device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 9, and further, FIGS. 10 and 11-1 to 11-3, and FIGS. 12 and 13-1 to 13-3 will be used. The processing operation on the specific operation screen will be described. Then, the effect in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

[Overview of file management device]
The file management device 100 according to the present embodiment uses a database such as the SQL server 200 (registered trademark) or a file server 250 other than the database as a storage destination of physical files such as photographs and document images managed in the business system. , The file is managed by saving to the save destination according to the classification of the file without making the user aware of the save destination, or by acquiring and inquiring the file. For example, when managing employee information files in a company, as shown in Fig. 9, there are companies A and B in the introduction company, and "Mr. Yamada" and "Sakamoto" who are the management targets of the employee information of company A. "San" is the key information. Similarly, "Mr. Tanaka" and "Mr. Kawada", who are the management targets of the employee information of Company B, are key information.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 8, the file management device 100 according to the present embodiment has the system control master 106a, the folder path management master 106b, and the file path management master 106c in advance by the master setting unit 102a of the control unit 102. , The regular expression master 106d, and the data management control master 106e are set. This master setting can be set according to the setting standard of file management in the introducing company. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, Company A sets the file classification to manage "resume" and "photograph" in the database (DB), and "other documents" is outside the database (for example,). It is set to be managed by the file server 250). In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, Company B sets the file classification to be managed in the database (DB) for "resumes" and outside the database for "photographs" and "other documents" (for example,). It can be set to be managed by the file server 250). In this way, even if the file management method differs for each company, it can be easily handled by simply changing the master setting accordingly.

[When attaching a file to specific employee information]
First, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11-1 to 11-3, the file management device 100 updates the personnel information by attaching a new personnel data file to the employee information which is the key information. can do. Specifically, the employee data that is the key information is searched on the employee data search screen shown in FIG. 11-1. As the search condition, if you enter the department CD, employee CD (employee CD), or company CD in charge, or if you enter the department name, employee name, or company name in charge, the department master shown in the regular expression master 106d in FIG. It is replaced with a department CD or an employee CD (employee CD) by the employee master or the employee master, and the search condition is specified. Here, when the operator of the personnel department presses the search button MB1, the key information search unit 102b searches for search keys (key information) such as department IDs and employee IDs corresponding to the search conditions, and the searched keys. The information is associated with the expression name (regular expression) (step SA-11 in FIG. 10).

In FIG. 11-1 of the employee data search screen, since the search conditions are not widened, only one employee data is extracted from the search results as shown in FIG. 11-2 of the employee data list screen. However, if the search conditions have a range, a plurality of search results are extracted and displayed (step SA-12 in FIG. 10). Therefore, in Fig. 11-2 of the employee data list screen, it is not necessary to select the key information to be attached to the file from the search results, but if there are multiple search results, the key information to be attached to the file is selected by the key information selection unit 102d. Then, press the attachment button MB2 (step SA-13 in FIG. 10).

The key information selected by the key information selection unit 102d is the SQL server 200 (trademark registration) or a file based on the regular expression (for example, "| Busho |-| Shin |") of the regular expression master 106d associated with the key information. Perform a file search on the server 250. For example, a file having a file path including the key information of "| Busho |-| Shin |" set in the file path management master 106c shown in FIG. 6 is extracted, and the file data attachment screen of FIG. 11-3 is called. List as employee data. Here, "Taro Yokoyama, First Sales Department" of the call employee data based on the key information is targeted for attachment, and a newly attached file is specified and uploaded. As shown in Fig. 11-3, for the attached file to be uploaded, specify the folder path and file path where the file is saved (step SA-14 in Fig. 10), and press the registration button MB3 to press the SQL server. Uploaded to 200 (step SA-15 in FIG. 10).

[When inquiring a file of specific employee information]

As a search condition, if you enter a department CD, employee CD (employee CD), or company CD in charge, or if you enter a department name, employee name, or company name in charge, the department master shown in the regular expression master 106d in FIG. 7 And the employee master replaces it with a department CD or employee CD (employee CD) and specifies search conditions. Here, when the operator of the sales planning department presses the search button MB4, the key information search unit 102b searches for a search key (key information) such as a department ID or an employee ID corresponding to the search condition, and searches for this. The key information and the expression name (regular expression) are associated (step SA-21 in FIG. 12).

In FIG. 13-1 of the employee data search screen, since the search conditions have a certain range, a plurality of search results are extracted from the search results as shown in FIG. 13-2 of the employee data list screen. It is displayed (step SA-22 in FIG. 12). Therefore, in FIG. 13-2 of the employee data list screen, it is necessary to select the key information for which the file inquiry is desired from the search results. Here, the operator of the sales planning department selects the key information "Taro Yokoyama, first sales department" for file inquiry by the key information selection unit 102d, and presses the inquiry button MB5 (step SA-23 in FIG. 12).

The key information selected by the key information selection unit 102d is the SQL server 200 (trademark registration) or a file based on the regular expression (for example, "| Busho |-| Shin |") of the regular expression master 106d associated with the key information. Perform a file search on the server 250. For example, a file having a file path including the key information of "| Busho |-| Shin |" set in the file path management master 106c shown in FIG. 6 is extracted, and the file data inquiry screen of FIG. 13-3 is called. List as employee data (step SA-24 in FIG. 12). Here, the inquiring target is "Taro Yokoyama, First Sales Department" of the calling employee data based on the key information, and the personnel data related to this is extracted from the SQL server 200 (trademark registration) and the file server 250 and displayed in a list. be able to. Therefore, the person in charge of the sales planning department can centrally check whether the personnel data to be inquired is stored in the SQL server 200 (trademark registration) or the file server 250. .. If you click the file name listed on the file data inquiry screen in Fig. 13-3, you can access the SQL server 200 (trademark registration) or file server 250 of the save destination to access the detailed contents of the file data and display it on the screen. It is also possible to display it (step SA-25 in FIG. 12).

As described above, according to the file management device 100 according to the present embodiment, by setting the master, the assets of the physical file that had been performed before the introduction of the business system can be managed as they are even after the introduction, and the file management migration work.
