System, information processing apparatus, information processing method, and storage medium including an improved function for adding information used to sort scanned data

摘要

An information processing apparatus sets a sorting information list and a sorting method used for a sort operation, and transmits the sorting information list set to an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus displays a selection screen on which a user can select sorting information from the sorting information list, and transmits the sorting information selected on the selection screen to the information processing apparatus, and transmits scanned data to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus sorts the scanned data using the sorting information based on the sorting method set.
