What is the exact purpose of approval coordinator activity? Is anyone help me out with example

[Jaspal Singh]

Hi Sree,

If I have a scenario where my Workflow requires Approval from Approver-User activity & also Approver-Group activity & then to proceed then Approval-coordinationtor is the best option. In short, Approval coordinator activity acts as a parent while activity Approver-User, Approver-Group or Manual-Approver will act as Child activities.

Link explains it in best way.

Thanks,

Jaspal Singh

Hi

As the name says, the Approval Coordinator acts like a container of different "sub-Approvals", which can be User & Group Approvals.

The results of each of them (in the Coordinator container) will be evaluated as a whole, and then decided, if the result is after all approved or rejected.

So, the Approval Coordinator only makes sense, when you want to have different SUB-Approvals combined in a container.

Does that makes sense to you?

Just let me know and mark my answer as correct or helpful.
