Simultaneous/Parallel Form Review Questions

asked on July 23

Dear All,

Can anyone please help throw some light on the question: I understand that it is possible to have multiple users review a Laserfiche form simultaneously. My questions are

1. Is it possible for Laserfiche to merge all the different inputs from the reviewers so that one has a form with all the various inputs captured and merged.

2. During the simultaneous review, is there a possibility that the form is locked because two reviewers are simultaneously reviewing the same field at the same time? Or same fields can be reviewed simultaneously and independently?

3. If all the parallel reviewers approves the form after review, does one Use an inclusive gateway to merge all the inputs before going to the next step?

4. How does one chart this process, perhaps a diagram to illustrate how this can be configured.

Thanks in advance

1. Yes, it depends on what inputs they are using. If each review is entering single or multiline text, you can give each reviewer their own variable and then use a formula on a separate one that pulls each response in. Depending on your format, you may want to add a formula to CONCATENATE and have it display the way you want such as separating by a comma or a user's name.

2. I don't believe you can do this if you are using a parallel option. However, you could send this to two reviewers at a time and that would lock the others out until those reviews are done.

3. If you use a parallel gateway, you will need to end with a parallel gateway to close it out and bring the form back together as one step.

4. A simplistic setup looks like this:

However, there are some variations you could use depending on how you want to control. You could move the Final Reviewer to a step that works almost in parallel to act as a monitor for the 4 reviewers. As each review adds notes, the final review can see them instead of waiting until all 4 are complete.
