1. An information processing device for a management system in which a management device and the information processing device are configured to communicate with a storage device, the information processing device comprising a controller that is configured to:
download, from the storage device, an instruction template including a plurality of pieces of processing instruction information for instructing a plurality of pieces of processing to be executed by the information processing device;
create an update template in which each of the plurality of pieces of processing instruction information in the instruction template is replaced with a corresponding piece of a plurality of pieces of processing notification information to be notified to the management device; and
upload the update template to the storage device,
wherein processing to be regularly executed by the information processing device is defined as regular processing and the management device regularly uploads a regular instruction template to the storage device, the regular instruction template being the instruction template including a plurality of pieces of regular processing instruction information that is the processing instruction information for a plurality of pieces of the regular processing,
wherein processing to be executed as needed is defined as as-needed processing and the management device uploads an as-needed instruction template to the storage device as needed, the as-needed instruction template being the instruction template including as-needed processing instruction information that is the processing instruction information for instructing the as-needed processing,

wherein, in the creating, the update template in which the regular processing instruction information is replaced with the processing notification information in the regular instruction template is created as a regular update template,
wherein, in the uploading, the created regular update template is uploaded to the storage device, and
wherein the controller is further configured to:
download the as-needed instruction template from the storage device as needed:
creating an as-needed update template in which as-needed notification information to be notified to the management device regarding the as-needed processing indicated by the as-needed processing instruction information included in the as-needed instruction template is added to the as-needed instruction template; and
uploading the as-needed update template created as needed to the storage device.
