I have a question about how Workflow manages a task assigned to a group
of users with the same job.  =20
 
Here is the scenario:=20
 
5 users have the same job with a task to process a request.  In normal
workflow, all 5 would receive the request once a workflow has been
triggered and the step with that task has been reached.  If any of the
users opens the request, only then none will none of the other 4 users
see it in their inbox.=20
 
However, is there a way for such requests to be assigned in a sort of
"queued" manner among these 5 users?  For example, request 1 goes to
person A, request 2 goes to person B, request 3 goes to the next person,
etc. until all the users have a request and the queue starts with person
A again?  Could this be done so that only one person receives a
notification even before the request is opened?  Can this be achieved
within existing org and workflow setup screens without ABAP programming?
If not, how much of a bear might it be?  What happens if a sixth user
needs to be added?=20
 
Thanks.=20
