Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a processor, a communication unit, an input unit, a display unit, and a storage unit storing a program. The program causes the information processing apparatus to display i) a status of an external apparatus received via the communication unit in a status window of a status monitor displayed on the display unit, ii) a tab indicating a category of the status in a side portion of the status window, iii) a first icon in the tab indicating a change in the status, and iv) a second icon that, when selected, causes the information processing apparatus to switch between displaying a maximum size status window and a minimum size status window. The maximum size status window includes the tab selected via the input unit and a tab page of the selected tab, and the minimum size status window includes the selected tab but not the tab page of the selected tab.
