Limit the number of slots.

Also keep in mind that you may want to consider using the activity 'Succeeding Rule' to successfully complete responses from multiple destinations having multiple slots.

A typical 'K2 Training' scenario for multiple slots are as follows:

You have a business scenario where you need to approve a purchase order. You send the decision to 3 managers. In order to approve the order all three managers must approve.

If you only assigned one (1) slot, the first manager to view the item in his/her worklist will approve, and K2 will consider the instances complete.

when you assing 3 slots, and set the succeeding rule to wait for a response from all three (3) managers, K2 will not proceed with execution of the rest of the process until a response from all three managers have been received.

You can get a full explanation of this in the K2.net 2003 Help file. (Keyword search: Succeeding rule, slots)

Hi All,

If I have 3 destination users for an activity and select "Create a Slot for each Destination" and I finish the WorkListItem for one user, then Will the activity get finished or I have to finish the WorkListItem of each user ?

Finishing the WorkListItem will be by : WorkListItem.finish();

Pls guide.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Bob,

Thanks a lot for replying.

Ok then if I need to meet the following requirement , then what should I do ?

I have 3 Destination Users. I want the activity datafield RESULT to be updated to PASS by all the 3 in order to continue the flow.

Pls guide .

Thanks and Regards

1. Create an Activity data field called "Result"

2. Within the Activity General section of Activty Properties make sure slots are set at 3 or "create slot for each destination" if you only have 3 destinations

3. Create a succeeding rule with the following parameters

First Variable:                    [{K2.ActivityInstanceDestination.DataFields("Result").Value}]
Logical Function::               At Least
Logical Data  :                    3
Comparison Operator:         =
Second Variable: :              PASS 

4. The UI/users should then Finish each task accordingly setting this activity data field to "PASS"

 Please note, that this succeeding rule will only return true (and thus complete this activity) if all 3 are set to PASS. If there are other conditions possible (i.e. if 1 person can say FAIL) then this succeeding rule will need to be exanded to support that logic.

Would it be possible to post your K2 Studio solution files here for review?

Thx.
