workflow newbie question
nico
I'm thinking of creating a workflow with workflow builder:
Everytime 4 specific users submit changes from a specific branch, I want it to be approved by 1 of 3 other users (on a whoever gets to it first basis). For it to go to staging only 1 of the 3 need to approve it.
So the part that confuses me is if I need to filter the 4 users from some default submit that ts does? else how does it know what submit workflow takes precedence for the 4 users?
Thanks,
Nico

It isn't clear to me what you want the system to do if someone other than these four users submits changes in the branch. Do you want a different workflow to run, or do you want the same workflow but with a different approval process?
If you want different workflows to run, you can simply specify the four users in the available_templates.cfg.
If you want a different approval process, you can have an external task that looks at the workflow creator and selects one transition for these four users or a different transition for other users.

If you are not one of the 4 users that this workflow would apply to, the default out of the box ts submit should kick off.

In that case, this can easily be handled in available_templates.cfg using <user_list> elements.
Restrict your "special" submit workflow so that it only applies to these four users.
Restrict the standard submit workflow so that it does not apply to these four users.

Keep in mind I want the "Special" submit workflow to kickoff for the four users when they are only in branch x but the default submit workflow to work for them when in branch y and branch z. Is that too handled in available templates cfg?

You can qualify the entries by users, roles, branches and actions.
