An Example of a Group Review Stage where the folder auto-progresses once all Approvers have Approved

Kim_Lewis

The attached zipped solution file includes an example of a Group Approval stage. 

 

When each reviewer approves the folder, his/her name is removed from the To Do list.  Each time a name is removed a conditional action checks to see if the To Do list is empty (i.e., if all reviews are completed).  When the To Do list is empty, the conditional action is triggered and the folder moves to the next stage in the process.

 

The key configuration points:

 

1.  The Approve (or, in my demo "Yes") loop-back action should be set to "Remove from to-do list"

 

2.  The conditional action should have its Only Start Action If property set to:

 

     (GetToDoList(ProcessContext.FolderId)==ListItems(null))

Hi

 

Are you sure it will work fine?

This scenerio was working well in 6.x, after make todo list evaluation asynchronous, it could fail.

Your condidtion coul be true, becouse engine could not be fast enaough to evaluate all roles and Todo list will be empty in moment of checking condition.

I'm not sure how v9 is working, but in 7.x it is common, that angine will move folder to next stage before roles evaluation.

 

Solution is to create some memo field with list of proper person, and remove from this list after "Yes" action.
