Can one user accept a task sent to a group?

Hello,

We have a business case where the approver of a document may not be known up front so I created a group for these approvers. Currently, the task is sent to and must be completed by everyone in the group before the workflow is completed and the document Effective. Is there a way to make it so when one person accepts and carries out the task, it is then removed from all the other workflow task lists.

  • When defining the activity, you must define it as 'Single user from group (First to acquire the work item)':
    "You select a group name when you create the template. At runtime, the server assigns a new work item to every group member. When one member of the group acquires the work item, the work items are removed from all other group member’s Inboxes."

  • Thanks Pedro, is that defined within Process Builder or Workflow Manager? I don't have access to those tools at present, can it be done in D2-Config?
  • It can be done in the Activity definition in Workflow Manager or Process Builder.
