Abstract
Provided are an electronic device, an information management program, and an information management method that help reduce the amount of memory for job information. An MFP (electronic device) has a job information generating device which generates, for each job executed by application software, job information including settings used by the application software that executes the job, and an access managing device which manages, when the job is executed, access to the job information from the application software. The job information generating device duplicates general job information including general setting items to generate preliminary job information, accepts, for the job, values for setting items included in the preliminary job information, and then generates the job information such that it includes, out of settings included in the preliminary job information, only settings used by the application software.
