System and Method for Controlled Monitoring of Pending Document Processing Operations

摘要

A system and method for controlled monitoring of pending document processing operations is provided. Each document processing request received by a document processing device is assigned a job name and is associated with a user which together make up a job identification. A user then logs onto the document processing device to view pending jobs, which are displayed to the user by only job identification. Those jobs with which the user is associated are visible to the user on the document processing device, including the status and file name. The user is thereby also able to modify or delete those pending jobs with which the user is associated. Jobs not associated with the user are not visible to the user or details pertaining to those jobs are not visible to the user.
