How can I send the same task to multiple user and wait till a ll of them have finshed the task ?

[John A Haworth]

HI Jocelyn
 
Just a quick question, how do you  "Don't forget to adjust the task to
workflow binding to use the multiline element with index
option for the appropriate parameters."

Hi Michael, Yes dynamic parallel processing is ok for this
(also in the book).  What I find most effective is to
use dynamic parallel processing to kick off a subflow
containing the step that I want to process and the outcomes.
However doing it on a single step is fine - you can provide your
list of agents in the Others tab so that you can get one
work item per agent.  Don't forget to adjust the task to
workflow binding to use the multiline element with index
option for the appropriate parameters.

I am just starting on a WF which has the same requirement. My thoughts
were to use Dynamic parallel processing, though I haven't tried it yet
and am not even too sure if the agent can be assigned this way.
A subflow containing a single task might be needed to do the trick.
However I'm just starting out, so I haven't had a chance to play with it
yet.
Cheers
Mike
