hi all,

i got 2 layer of
approval in a simple workflow, however, if the amount inputted is like ie: over
10000 then no need to go thru approval layer 1, immediately goto approval layer
2. i was wondering what ur best practise for this. my first activity is a mail
activity then go to the approval layer 1 actitvity and then approval layer 2
activity. i want to skip layer 1 approval, but seems even thou i can draw a
activity line from start activity(mail) to the layer 2 activity, i can't seems
to add logic to let the workflow skip layer 1 approval when inputted amount is
over 10000. hope u can understands my question, maybe just guide me to a best
practise using whatever rules in k2 commonly used in this type of
scenario. thanks
 
regards,
martin

Hi all,

 

I am using visio to make the workflow, for the below
case, i should have an if else case after the start activity, to check if the
amount is over 10000, then goto layer 1 approval, else goto layer 2 approval,
however, it seems visio for k2 cannot add that, as the activity for me to bind
to workflow, which suits my needs. Am i right to say, visio reach limitation for
this scenario ? and i need to use visual studio to develop workflow for this
scenario?  please give some of your advice, thanks

 

regards,

martin

You just need to add line rule logic to do this. See screenshot
