Query on using Fork or Loop Until Step type

[Albina Fernando]

Hi  All,


   I have one scenario here. If I want the work item to be approved by 
many agents, then in that case will a fork be useful or Loop Until Step 
type. The scenario is such that if the 1st approver approves, then a work 
item should go to the 2nd approver, and if 2nd approver approver, then it 
should go to 3rd approver and so on till the 5th approver. If the 1st 
approver is not approving within a deadline date, then it should go to the 
next approver and so on. If i'm using Fork, how do I implement this 
scenario.  Should i create 5 separate branches for each approver. and then 
set deadlines for each of them. Fork is mainly used if the branches are 
functionally independant, but in this case each item is dependant on the 
previous one. i.e if one approves then it should go to the other.  When I 
want to send a work item to the next manager, should I trigger some event 
and then send it... how should it be 

  Can you please tell me which method would be better..? 

Thank you all for your support.
 
Warm regards,
