BPM task for multiple persons

[markus_schalk]

Dear experts,

is there a standard way of assigning a human task to multiple persons, where every person has to complete the task?

Markus

Thanks for the quick response!

How does it work in detail?

If you set the loop to 3, and there are 3 user in the group assigned for potential owners.

If owner 1 completes the task, is it up to the other 2 to do the same?

Thanks in advance...

you prepare a collection which contains the user, system will loop based on the collection

all those user will receive respective task at the same time,

could you give me some more details on how this can be done?

We want to use a UME group assigned to the task.

All users should get a task which they should complete on their own...

for your case, you have to figure out the user list, cannot directly assign the group to the task.

if user list exists, how do we proceed?

[junwu · Accepted solution]

make it as a collection, system will select each of the element and generate a task

you can prepare something like

<users><user>a</user><user>b</user></users>

or you compose a string  userlist=a;b;c;d, then use standard function tokenize(userlist, ";"), which will result in a collection.

Hi Jun,

i used the collection you mentioned. It creates as many tasks as users.

BUT, every user can see and work with every task. But the desired function is, that every user

gets one task...

Did i miss something?

Thanks in advance?

don't know what you are talking

what you want......

[markus_schalk · Accepted solution]

I am talking about the potential owners of the task. Every owner should receive only one task.

Therefore i am using this:

But it does not seem to work...

[junwu · Accepted solution]

now how many tasks  each user got ?

[markus_schalk · Accepted solution]

I solved it by using this expression for the potential owners:

getPrincipalByUniqueName(currentCollectionItem,"user")

Hi Markus,

You might like to explore Parallel Split and Parallel join as well if it fits your requirement.
