Gateway within Sub Process Question

Forms

Updated March 15, 2016

asked on February 11, 2016

My process requires to have 6 users who need to approve. However, if any from 6 approves first, then I want the process to continue to next step. However within the sub process, even though I only use one parallel gateway, the flow is waiting for other 5 users to complete the tasks. How can I bypass others if one approves first?

Thank you.

You can use signal intermediate events, available in Laserfiche Forms 10, to bypass other users after one user approves a task. Once the first signal event is reached, the other user tasks will be canceled. Please refer to this help guide for more information on how to use signal events.

Another option is to use the Assign Team function. Tasks can be assigned to an entire team and be visible to all teams members in a central list. Once a team member completes the task, the process will continue to the next step.

Marisa,

For the same reason as Justin, I tried created a process like you did, with the exception of two signal events as shown. With the top one going to the top ones on the User Tasks, and the bottom to the bottom ones.

Upon validating my form, it displays the following error messages as shown:

Any suggestions? Do you get the error message on yours regarding the Exclusive Gateway?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Here's an updated screenshot of how to set up signal events. You will need to define an outflow for each signal event you've attached and attach each user task to its own exclusive gateway.
