understanding is that you have a loop in which the same two tasks are processed
over and over until some exit condition is met. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN
class=738164906-14092006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Wouldn't the step
flag "advance with dialog" on your first action step in the loop solve your
requirement to reserve the next task (requiring manual input) for the acting
agent? Then the step requiring manual input should be started immediately and
would become reserved for the current user.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2> We have a WF
where a loop at task is assigned to several possible agents, based on roles
assigned to the task.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The next step is
to enter some text and in an effort to keep it with the person who took the
task over, we use an expression and the field
&ACTINGAGENT&</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The situation is
such that someone makes a decision (possible agents) and then the next task
requires manual input hence the idea around acting agent, to insure that it
remains reserved for the individual that acted on the previous
step.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This does not seem
to change, after the first person touches the WF.

<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This particular

responsible agent.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I look at the

it shows the first person to act on the flow.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340455119-13092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Should this not

field we can use, to ensure that the steps remain linked with the person
who</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
