You can bypass a task participant (user, group, or application role) if a specific condition is satisfied. For example, if a user submits a business trip expense report that is under a specific amount, no approval is required by their manager.

In the Advanced section of the Edit Participant Type dialog box for the serial type, select the Specify skip rule check box to bypass a task participant. This action displays an icon for accessing the Expression Builder dialog box for building a condition. The expression must evaluate to a boolean value.

For more information about a valid XPath expression for skipping a participant, see Bypassing a Task Participant.
