Keeping assignee for process

[evan_activiti]

Hi,

I've been trawling the guide and the boards for a simple question but I can't seem to find an answer. In a process I'm making, I would like to assign a particular user from a group to 3 or 4 tasks in the project. For example:

Bill starts the travel leave request process and is a member of the development group.
He then performs the activity complete leave request form.[1]
He then performs the activity find hotel and flight.[2]
Another developer must then confirm that Bill has done the right thing[3]
Bill then must submit all the paper work this is boss. [4]

The process goes [1]->[2]->[3]->[4]
And I'd like to get Bill's details as an assignee in task 1 and use it to delegate task [2] and [4] to Bill only and delegate [3] to any developer who is not bill.

Any help here would be great.  :mrgreen:

The user guide is a great place to start:
http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnUserTaskAssignment

There is a default process shipped with the explorer, that can get you on your way as well: https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/trunk/modules/activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/resource...

Hi thanks for the response Frederik. The claims handler example shipped with the tool was the most helpful.

I was able to solve my problem by using the 'user' form variable type to set an assignee variable for the remaining tasks in the process, though it would be great to be able to restrict the user box to a specific group of users.

Thanks again

Evan
