Hi there,

You have to setup a listener, that gets active after your manager has completed his review task, which then sets the process variable for Task Assignee to the HR user.

Please note also, that task listeners are an Activiti-specific construct and you should get familiar with Activiti workflows to realize such use cases.

Best regards,
Dennis

Cheers Denis.

I am now using Eclipse to create the Activiti workflows, but where would i set the listener ?
I am using the diagram view due to not knowing xml very well.
I hope you can help

Re: Workflow sent for review, then sent to next user for review

deko — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 14:08:08 GMT

Here is exactly what you need:

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Fconcepts%2Fwf-process-def-listeners-task.html

In the picture you can see the corresponding code snippet, where a process variable wf_reviewoutcome is written into a log after task completion. YOu just need to adopt this example so that you set the process variable bpm_assignee to a fix user name. Hope I could help!
