Dynamic approval and Rejection of Work item

[John A Haworth]

Hi

The initial part could be achieved by having the 1st task in  one leg of a 
1 of 2 fork. Have the reject action raise an event,  which the other leg 
of the 1 of 2 fork, is waiting for, after which enter a task which cancels 
all the other approval requests, then either another task routing a 
request back to the WF initiator, or a raise event task, and start another 
'sub' workflow.
You could think about creating these multiple requests for approval as 
parallel workflows, each one could deal with the deadline and the 
alternative approver as monitored deadline, which offers an alternative 
path on deadline being reached.

Cheers

        Subject:        Dynamic approval and Rejection of Work item


Hello all:
 In one of my user decision step, I am using a multi-line element (in the 
‘Others/Miscellaneous’ tab) to route a decision work-item to multiple 
users for approval process (Approve/Reject!). I am also using a secondary 
method in the approval process which has the display method(when the user 
executes the work-item the secondary method displays the ECR to approvers 
and depending on the objects entered in ECR, user decides whether to 
approve or reject it!)
 I would be grateful if some one can help me how to achieve the under 
given scenario. This is what I am trying to achieve. Now, the work item 
will be sent to multiple users for approval. If any one user rejects the 
ECR, then the work items waiting for approval in other users inbox should 
be deleted (how to achieve this??), and the workflow has to be routed back 
to the WF initiator asking him to correct the ECR. Now here there is one 
more difficulty, also, if any of the approver misses the deadline, there 
is a standby user for each original approver (how to incorporate the 
standby user and route the missed deadline work-item to that standby user 
for approval??) I know that deadlines can be monitored by the deadline 
monitoring.
     Workflow should proceed to next step if ALL the users (I have to 
consider the missed deadline work-item too!!) who got the work-item in 
their inbox approves it( I mean, ECR will be approved if and only if ALL 
the users approves it)
 
Any ideas on this scenario how to develop or how to create this is highly 
appreciated.
 
Regards,
Jack
