Multiple records created from a single record producer?

[Jason Stephens]

Does anyone know if you can use a record producer to create multiple records? I would like to use a record producer to create 4 tasks (for 4 different departments) based on the info entered. All 4 tasks would basically have the same information in them, just assigned to different groups. If not, I guess I will have to use a workflow, which is not a problem. The record producer method would just be easier in the situation I have.

Thanks for the input - as always!

hey jasonstephens,

Would really like to hear how you implemented it.

I am currently having a similar requirement for my work, I have a workflow for service catalog table in which whenever the user selects a particular hard OS like -> VMware/windows/etc and selects the number of quantity of that particular item than i need to create a instance for the respective quantity selected. This is not just a workflow its an RBA workflow, as we are automating the process of creating a OS instance and configuring the same as soon as the OS is selected without any manual intervention.

Thanks
Ishan

I actually just used 3 Create Task blocks, as my requirement needed a task for # environments (SYS, QA, and PROD). When I asked this question, my requirements had the need to be dynamic, but after the process was mapped out, we decided that we just need 3 of every task. So for example, I have 3 "Create Database" Tasks with different short descriptions - "Create Database - SYS", Create Database - QA", and 'Create Databse - PROD". It makes the workflow a little messy, but it was the best way in my opinion for me to get the 3 tasks I needed. I know this doesn't help you much, but this is what I ended up doing in my workflow (non RBA by the way..)
