Inviting Additional Participants to a Task

You can allow a task assignee to invite other participants into the workflow before routing it to the next assignee in this workflow. For example, assume the approval workflow goes from James Cooper to John Steinbeck. If this option is checked, James Cooper can decide to first route it to Irving Stone before it goes to John Steinbeck.

This is also known as ad hoc routing. If this option is selected, Adhoc Route is added to the Actions list in Oracle BPM Worklist at runtime.

Note:

Do not add adhoc assignees either above or below an FYI participant.

To invite additional participants to a task:

  1. Expand the Advanced section of the Edit Participant Type dialog box for the single type, as shown in Figure 29-31.
  2. Select Allow this participant to invite other participants.
