Workflow - Dynamic approvers

Saji

I have a requirement which requires three level of approval process. Also the first approver group can change the second level approver if they feel if it is required. Is it possible this kind of requirement in Team site work flow. If possible please send if a sample code if available.

That will be difficult. It would take subtasks and a non-trivial amount of scripting.

If you want the original contributor to decide, that is not too tough, but once the WF is instanciated, dynamically adding reviews takes nested workflows.

My advice is change the requirements, or learn perl and take the WF course.

You could offer John, Smiitty, Ghoti or I (an others) $100 an hour & we could generate some code for you. :-)

It might be possible if you set your successors up properly. Say at the first level of approval they could choose to Approve & Deploy or pass it on to the next approver Get Level 2 Approval and repeat that same process at the second level approval task. If you need to change the name of an approver, that's easy enough. Changing the group shared in a grouptask - not sure if you can do that on the fly.

I can definitely be bought for $100/hour...

If there is only one user per task (because CGItask only supports one user) you can have a CGItask that lets the first approver select the next approver, then use iwrmtaskuser and iwaddtaskuser to adjust the next task. Use job or task variables to mark which tasks need to be adjusted because the only other way to find them is iwgettaskbyname or whatever and sometimes users can change task names. If the tasks are shared to multiple users or groups I think you could do something with a custom menu item or CCI link instead of a CGItask to gather and apply the user information.

I will do all this for you for the trivial cost of my 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 certifications and developer license.

That (I think) is the rub. You can have one approval with 3 next steps, go out, go to more approvals, reject. The approvals would have to be group tasks & could not be dynamic.

I am curious how you can change the approver name dynamically, one the WF is already in process ? I have only done that with nested WF, which have many warts of their own.

I was thinking that you can change the owner of a future task on the fly, and so you could change the owner of the approval task if it is a usertask. If it's a grouptask, I think you're screwed. I couldn't find an equivalent CLT to change the name of the shared-by group for a grouptask.

iwrmtaskgroup, iwaddtaskgroup, iwrmtaskuser, iwaddtaskuser.
