Good day.

My understanding here is as follows:

you have 4 forms, to 4 departments. The approval step is made possible by 4 different activities, each activity with its own destinations. Then, those 4 activities flow to your 'decision' activity?

If this is the case,, preceding rule is definately the way to go, on the 'decision' activity - not on the last activty of the 4 approval activities.

The K2 help file has a solution for this scenario. In the 'index' search, search for preceding rule and follow the links to the code sample.

Thanks for all your replies so far, but I still seem to be having problems.

I have tried the following methods:

- I have the 4 separate InfoPath forms activiies on which the approval for each takes place. From here I have 4 lines linking to a default client activity containing an email event. I have set a preceding event on the email activity to check the xml values stored from the InfoPath forms. This appears not to work once I introduce more than one value into the mix. OK, the first code sample below works, I get the email if the approval step is approved and I don't if it is declined.

K2.PrecedingRule =

K2.PrecedingRule =

This second code sample does not send an email at all:

K2.PrecedingRule =

SourceCode.K2Utilities.XMLFieldMod.GetXMLValue(K2.ProcessInstance.XmlFields("K2InfoPathSchema").Value,"my:myFields/my:SitePlanningApproval") = "Approved"

K2.PrecedingRule =

- I have also tried creating a data field on the InfoPath activity, setting the value using an event on this activity, then testing for the associated values on the email activity. However, the data fields I created do not appear in the list when writing the preceding rule on the email activity.

I am very new to K2 and must just be doing something very stupid.

Hi Faccenda

The process schema xml is being overwritten every time one of the activities is completed. A simple solution would be to create process level data fields and store the xml field values to the data fields every time a form is completed but I recommend you to approach our consulting services.
