sending document to other users

[sofie24]

Hi all

does anyone of you know how I can send the document in the workflow to another person while that workflow is still processing?

Here is the situation:

- user A starts the workflow with document X
- document X was send to user B
- user B approves this document and then it has to be sent to user C
- if user B rejects this document nothing special should happen

I only got to manage this until step 2 (the document was sended to user B and he can just approve/reject this).

Thanx in advance

The approve transition needs to go to a new task (assigned to user C).

User C is determined by either hard-coding their name in the process definition (least attractive) or assigning the username to a process variable (more attractive).  The selection of user can be done in javascript or UI.

hi,

in the previous post I said that I could assign a task to another person. Well I can do this, but it never arrives at the other person.

Here's my code:

Thanks in advance
