With this activity you
- assign the tasks in the Approval Procedure workflow template to possible agents taking a predefined organizational plan into consideration and define rules about which agents can be defined at runtime as responsible agent
- (de)activate the connection between the workflow and the triggering event "TO_BE_RELEASED".
Possible agents can be assigned based on the entire group of tasks. The rules with which the responsible agents are determined at runtime, however, must be defined based on the individual tasks.
Example
You want the decision concerning the release of info objects completed by the author to be made by the superior of the person responsible for the folder containing the info objects. Info objects that are not released should be placed in the workplace inbox of the person responsible for the folder for revision.
In your organizational plan you defined positions that are described by the jobs "Head of department " and "Processor". You assign the entire group of tasks in the Workflow template these two positions as agent. This defines that all the users whose job is described by one of these two positions are possible agents of the tasks in the workflow template. Choose the rule "Superior (as user) for..." as default rule for determining the relevant agent for the task "Document Approval". Choose the rule "Person responsible for the folder" as default rule for determining the responsible agent for the task "Revise Documents".
Requirements
You must have defined the organizational units, positions and jobs in your organizational plan before you can assign agents to them. See Edit Organizational Plan.
Standard settings
Recommendation
If you assign possible agents to the entire group of tasks in the workflow (instead of to individual tasks), you only have to perform this activity once.
