You can use the SPX Propagate Recipients workflow process step to define a relationship between the workflow object and a login user. This way, you can assign objects to a specific user rather than assigning them to an entire role. This feature is implemented on a Workflow Step Definition Class.
The workflow step class needs to be configured for recipient propagation. For more
information on configuring a workflow step class for recipient propagation, see Workflow Process steps in the Technical Documentation for SPO/E Core.
Assign a recipient to a workflow object
-
Right-click the workflow step class, then click Recipient Propagation > Manage Recipient Propagation(s).
-
In the Manage Recipient Propagation(s) dialog box, click Create.
-
In the Item dialog box, in the Main details section, type the name of the recipient in the Name box.
-
In the Recipient Propagation Details section, type the RelDef in the Recipient Propagation Source box.
-
The RelDef must be defined between the workflow object and a login user. For example, REL12_SPXAITHasAssignee, defines a relationship between an AIT task and a SmartPlant Foundation login user.
-
The direction of the RelDef is specified as either REL12_, REL21_, +, or – followed immediately by the RelDef object.
-
-
Select a step definition from the Step Def list.
-
Click Finish. When the workflow step configured for recipient propagation is executed, the next workflow step is assigned to the recipient configured on this workflow step.
-
A reassignment of a task in the workflow object does not update the corresponding relationship affected by the Recipient Propagation.
-
It only propagates users, not roles.
-
Multiple propagations cannot occur off of the same workflow step. The StepDef class only takes up to one Recipient Propagation object.
-
Each Recipient Propagation object can have only one relationship to one login user.
