解説

問 2

Incorrectア
Sharing proposal document templates is a use of groupware’s document sharing (file sharing / information sharing) feature, not the workflow management feature that routes documents along an approval route.
Incorrectイ
Checking the available time of scheduled attendees is a use of the schedule management (group scheduler) feature, which differs from the workflow management feature that digitizes the approval procedure.
ウ
正解 The workflow management feature routes business forms such as application forms and internal approval-request documents in order along a predefined route of approvers and authorizers, thereby digitizing and automating the approval procedure. Choice ウ, “Digitizing the approval procedure from business trip applications to travel expense settlement,” electronically flows a series of approval steps — application → supervisor approval → accounting settlement — which is exactly a typical use of the workflow management feature. Therefore ウ is the most appropriate.
Incorrectエ
Holding meetings between the head office and branch offices over the network is a use of the web conference / video conference (electronic conferencing) feature, not the workflow management feature that routes business forms for approval.

ここがポイント

The workflow management feature = a feature that routes business forms such as application forms along a defined approval route and digitizes approval and authorization (e.g., business trip applications, internal approval requests, expense settlement).
The question tests whether you can distinguish its role from the other groupware features (document sharing, schedule management, electronic conferencing).
