Role using Responsibility Rule ?

[Dart, Jocelyn]

I think you are perhaps a little confused about the relationship between workflow steps and agents.
 
A responsibility rule is a way to *find* the agent for a workflow step.  And yes they are terrific for doing that. I'm glad you like them - I also think they are the bee's knees!
 
However, if you have *already found* the agent, and have the agent id(s) sitting in a workflow container element of the relevant type (such as WFSYST-AGENT, WFSYST-INITIATOR, RHOBJECTS-OBJECTID, etc. - single or multiline), then in your workflow step you simply use the EXPRESSION option to point to that container element, instead of the rule option.
 
Hope that helps.

Subject: Role using Responsibility Rule ?
 
Hi All,
 
I was wondering if there is a way when creating a Role using
Responsibility
that one can assign a container element i.e. Event creator to the
Responsibility. Currently the Rule allows you to assign an organization
object
i.e. Work center, Position, user etc but it will make it more flexible
if you
can pass a container element containing agents which will make it more
flexible. I know I can create a custom Role but I like to use the sap
new way
of agent determination using Responsibility.
 
Thanks.
