parallel review... sort of.

[lucille_arkenst]

Hello everyone,

I have a parallel review workflow.  Once a certain number of people approve, I want it to act sort of like a group parallel review, such that the task disappears from the other people in the group's task list once approved.

How can this be done?

Thanks!

It would have to change from a Parallel review to a Pooled review. You'd need two completely separate task-node sections with logic in a decision node for when to jump from one to the other.

Hi Seth

One of the questions that had been driving me bonkers is what makes a task "parallel" and what makes it "group"… and I thought I figured it out but now I think I am wrong.

For this conversion from parallel review to "pooled" review that you described… could you please provide pseudo-code?  That might help me to understand.

Thank you!

I think I got it:

    <!– PARALLEL REVIEW –>
    <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.ForEachFork">
      <foreach>#{people.getMembers(people.getGroup('GROUP_blah'))}</foreach>
      <var>reviewer</var>
    </action>
    <event type="node-enter">
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Transition to node…

  <!– GROUP REVIEW –>
  <task-node name="somebody_review">
  <task name="blah:somebody_Review" swimlane="aSwimlane" />
‍‍‍‍‍

The swimlane versus the foreach makes the difference
