Agent assignments

[Breslavets, Sergey]

Hi Jose,
 
You've probably confused possible and responsible agents. The general idea is
that Possible agents are anybody who have possibility to execute this task (meet
some MINIMAL criteria). It relates to the particular task only - therefore it's
defined at the task level.
 
On the other hand, The responsible agents are defined at the STEP level, and
reflect business process requirements as to who should be responsible for the
execution of this task as part of the particular process.
 
The actual agents who will receive the workitem at runtime are determined as
intersection between possible and responsible agents.
 
Hope this help,
Sergey

Hi every-one
 
I'm a bit confused. I thought agents assignments were linked to the step in the
workflow?! But I did a possible agents on another workflow on a step using a
specific task, and when I used the same task in a step in the new workflow the
agents for that workflow were brought over. It seems to be a bit blind that if
you need to have different possible agents for a step that its linked to a task
- so even if you use the same task you have to copy it to "erase" the agents
already linked.
 
Or am I doing something wrong?
 
Jose
