How to design a parallel group review workflow using Alfresco Activiti KickStart Designer App?

paiyyavj13

I have created processes earlier on Alfresco Activiti which had single group or single user reviewer assignment. I am facing difficulty in assigning a parallel task to multiple users, using the form based BPMN designer. Has any one done this before? any pointers please?

To use the collection feature, create a list of user id's and save them in a process variable.

e.g.

List<User> users = userService.getAllUsers(0,999,tenantId);
for (User u : users) {
idList.add(u.getId());
}
execution.setVariable('assigneeList', idList);

Now, set the collection property to the name of this variable.

e.g.

Just a note, this is using the BPMN editor, I am not familiar enough with the Kickstart editor to know if it can handle this sort of thing.

You can achieve this in two ways:

1) Use of "parallel gateway"

2) Using the multi-instance property available on UserTask

Hi Ciju,

Thanks for your response.... I did try this but I ave few queries...

I am using Alfresco Activiti application.

On the submit form, I can add Group or Users... How can I add multiple Groups in the Form pallette?
How to I store the group names in a variable? so that I can mention the variable name in Collection(Multi-Instance)
under Assignment, what should I choose (I want multiple groups for parallel review, ideally a variable having all the groups)

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for the response... the screenshots really helped... and yes I am using the same BPMN editor.

The problem with me is that I need to get multiple users from a custom Submit form, the Submit form does not have or maybe I cannot figure out a way to get multiple users in that form. pls check the screenshot below:

Appreciate your help!!!

Regards.

Hi Rachana _‌

I created a custom Stencil on Alfresco Process Services which I used for the field- allowing Multiple Users to be selected.

Check about the Custom Stencils to find out more...
