Form Authorization Method with Relation Information Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional management software systems, such as ERP, fail to effectively authorize viewing permissions for related forms and statistics separately, leading to inefficient and inaccurate permission matching, resulting in unnecessary information leakage and high workload during employee transfers.
Innovation Solution
A method for authorizing form-related information involves selecting a grantee and a form, displaying candidate relation information, and granting permissions based on the grantee's role, allowing for automatic selection of previously authorized items for single grantees and no selection for multiple grantees, with the ability to save and adjust permissions efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If independent form authorization is used in conventional systems, then each form can be authorized separately, but the viewing permissions of related forms and statistics cannot be authorized respectively, leading to inaccurate permission matching
Solution Approach 1:
The authorization system is segmented into form-level authorization and relation information-level authorization. When authorizing a form, the system separately manages permissions for the form itself and its related forms/statistics, allowing precise control over what each user can view in both the main form and its relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to authorization by introducing relation information permissions as a separate controllable layer. Instead of only authorizing forms independently, the system now authorizes forms plus their related information separately, creating a two-dimensional authorization space that enables precise permission matching.
2Ease of operation
If all relation information is made viewable by default, then users can access related forms and statistics, but sensitive information from multiple contracts may cause unnecessary loss
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of applying a uniform viewable permission to all relation information, the system applies local quality by allowing different permission settings for different relation information items. Each related form or statistic can be individually authorized or restricted based on sensitivity and user role requirements.
3Measurement precision
If forms are directly authorized to each employee, then individual permissions can be controlled, but when employees are transferred from posts, re-authorization is required which increases workload and reduces efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces role-based authorization that works across multiple forms and relation information universally. A role can be authorized once to access multiple related forms and statistics, and when employees change posts, only their role assignments need updating rather than re-authorizing each form individually.
Solution Approach 2:
Roles are pre-configured with appropriate form and relation information permissions based on job functions. When employees are assigned to roles, they automatically inherit the pre-configured permissions, eliminating the need for re-authorization during transfers and improving efficiency.
4Productivity
If multiple grantees are authorized simultaneously, then batch authorization is achieved, but the interface becomes complex and user-friendly operation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
When multiple grantees are selected for batch authorization, the system automatically applies the same permission configuration to all selected users without requiring manual configuration for each. This self-service approach maintains interface simplicity while achieving batch authorization efficiency.

AI summary
A method for authorizing form related information is provided including: selecting one or more grantees; selecting a form, and displaying candidate related information of said form, wherein when there is one grantee, items selected and saved in the candidate related information when the grantee is authorized last time are automatically shown as being selected, and modifying authorization or selecting a corresponding item from said candidate related information for authorization; when there are two or more grantees, no item is shown as being selected, selecting and authorizing a corresponding item from said candidate related information; and after authorizing the related information of the form to the selected one or more grantees, saving the authorization of the related information of the selected form.
