Agent assignment

[Robert Bates]

Menand,
 
You need to make sure that the task has Agents Assigned that include the
position you are assigning in the workflow template. The way I like to think
about it is that the task agents specify all the people who can possibly perform
the task, and the workflow template agents specify who can do the task for each
specific workflow instance. Check that the Agent Assignment indicator is green
on the control tab of the task in the workflow template - if not, you need to
assign agents to it (clicking the button next to it will take you there - by the
way, I'm talking about a 4.6 GUI here - in earlier releases this may not be so
convenient). You can assign the task to all the possible positions that could
execute it, or (if you're feeling lazy, or can't be sure of the eventual scope
of the task) classify the task as a general task (i.e. potentially performed by
anybody).
 
I hope this helps,

Hello All
 
I was hoping for some help with Agent assignments for a given task.
I`m attempting to dynamically assign agents to an approval task depending on
a cost field.
 
I`m moving a selected position i.e. 50014312 into a Workflow container field
called PP_MGR.
PP_MGR is set up like SWP_AGENT.
 
When position 5001432 is passed into PP_MGR the task doesn`t seem to go
anywhere.
 
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards
