Forms - Assign Task to 3 users, and any of them can perform the approval

asked on January 11, 2022

Hello,

I am admittedly not as well-versed in the Forms process diagram as I should be. Here's what I want to do:

1. User fills out a vehicle inspection form, and if something is marked as in need of repair, 3 users get a task in their inbox.
2. Once any of those 3 users completes the task, the tasks also leave the other two users' inboxes.

I don't want these users to have to assign the task to themselves via the 'Unassigned Tasks' screen. I've never used the signal throw/catch events before - is this a good use case for it? 3 separate user tasks in the process diagram, each listening for a signal while also capable of throwing a signal to the other 2, depending on which user performed the task?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You can use the approach here https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/124207/Forms--Limitations-of-assigning-task-to-entire-group-of-people by creating parallel gateways to loop through each of your 3 users. So everyone is assigned the task.

Then, attach a signal catch to the user tasks (i.e. "Task Completed") and add a signal throw (i.e. "Task Completed") once one of the user completed the task.
