Additional workflow steps/actions and features

These optional steps are only supported in 7.5 and later.

These optional workflow steps are pre-defined in the "workflow.xml" but are not used by default.

Optional workflow steps: Select single reviewer workflow

This workflow makes it possible to assign a single user to review an item. This workflow configuration skips the task pool option meaning that the assigned reviewer no longer needs to claim the task. The configuration consists of  the following 2 steps.

• AssignStepselectReviewerStep: During the assignstepthis step, a user has the ability to select a responsible user to review the workflowitem. This means that for each workflowitem, a different user can be selected. Because a user is assigned, the task pool is no longer required.
  • The available users to select from are defined in the "action.selectrevieweraction.group" setting in workflow.cfg. This setting must list the name of a group of reviewers to select from (default value = "Reviewers" group).
• singleUserReviewStepReviewStep: The start of the reviewstep is different than the typical task pool. Instead of having a task pool, the user will be automatically assigned to the task. However, the user still has the option to reject the task (in case he or she is not responsible for the assigned task) or review the item. In case the user rejects the task, the workflowitem will be sent to the another step in the workflow as an alternative to the default outcome.

The score review system allows reviewers to give the reviewed item a rating. Depending on the results of the rating, the item will be approved to go to the next workflow step or will be sent to an alternative step. The scrore review workflow consists of the following 2 steps.

• ScoreReviewStepscoreReviewStep: The group of responsible users for the score reviewing will be able to claim the task from the taskpool. Dependingn Depending on the configuration, a different number of users can be required to execute the task (default is requiredusers=2). This means that the task will be available in the task pool until the required number of users has at least claimed the task. Once everyone of them has finished the task, the next (automatic) processing step is activated.
• EvaluationStepevaluationStep: During the evaluationstep, no user interface is required. The workflow system will automatically execute the step that evaluates the different scores (which corresponds to a rating from 1-5). In case the average score is more than a configurable percentagegreater than the average "minimumAcceptanceScore", the item is approved, otherwise it is rejected.  (The minimum average score is set by adjusting the minimumAcceptanceScore property passed to evaluationactionAPI in config/spring/api/workflow-actions.xml.)
