How to assign user role dynamically based on dropdown control value in the view

Hey,

If i understand your scenario correctly it should be done calling K2 SmartObjects in the destination set and passing the store number as filter parameter for the list method.

My understanding about the scenario:

You have data table which saves different Manager role ( when you say role i assume you are not talking about K2 Role) for each Store Number.During the time of creating the request you select Store Number from the Dorpdown list. Based on the Store Number selection respective Manager role users should get assigned with the task.

Resolution:

1) Once you select the store number from the dropdown list, pass this data from form level (user interface level) to Process level, lets say you save this information in the Datafield called StoreNumber.

2) At the activity destination Users, call the smartObject  GetList method which connects to Sample Data table (as per your scenario) and do inputting mapping with the Datafield StoreNumber and return the first record.

with the above steps you should be able to pick Manager approvers information dynamically.

Hope it Helps!

Thanks Prajwal,

That's really a quick response. You have exactly understood the scenario what I am trying to do, dynamically assign the role from the table based on the Storenumber. However, I see a missing hole here, should I have to create a same role in the K2 workspace user manager? Once I have the role from the smartobject getlist, how do I map to the K2 user role ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes you can dynamically assign roles;

Say for instance i have a tabl with Store Numbers and respecitve as its Role names available as shown below;

NOTE: Since you are using K2 Roles, please make sure the roles are created in the K2 workspace, for instance as per my example i have three K2 roles defined in my k2 server like below;

This way you can assign tasks to K2 Roles dynamically.

Hope it helps!
