<DIV><SPAN class=201042320-29062006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi
George, I'm currently doing something similar on 4.7. I have an unknown
amount of agents to whom we need to send the same workitem. I've done this
using a multi-line element which contains the agent id. In the task the
agent expression is assigned to the index of the multi-line element
[&_WF_PARFOREACH_INDEX&] then on the 'Other' tab the multiline element
is assigned. This works well in the sense that each agent receives a
unique view of the same work item, i.e. each work item has a separate work item
id. The problem I'm currently facing is the termination of the work
item. I'm terminating it with an event. This works however it
terminates all the work items regardless of the work item id. Sorry
I couldn't give you a completely positive answer.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I would like to trigger parallel
processing of the same task by multiple users. Each user would make an
approve/reject decision on their own. After all users have responded the
workflow will continue down different paths based on “all approve” or “partial
approve” summation. I’ve read the archives and see references regarding
the usage of multi-line elements within container operations as a possible
option. Is this the best method available? If so can the users
that receive the workitems be identified dynamically, and if so exactly how do
you populate the multi-line element at the workflow step level at
run-time? We plan to use the ORG structure to identify users. Of
course the user-ids assigned to the ORG structure roles can and will change
over time. Thus, if the user assignment changes the workflow is smart
enough to generate a workitem for the new user. Again, each user must
receive the workitem, and each must act on it
independently.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
