require 1x approval from one group and 2x approval from another

FusiFusionWorld · ‎05-12-2022

Hey All,

Simple one for you (not for me though...)

I have a requirement to have 3 x approvals total for a change request to be approved but 2 of these approvals must come from 1 group the remaining 1 from another group.

In this particular instance there are 2 x approval groups included and currently we have the worklfow set to 1 approval from each group. I know how to use a condition based script to set the requirement to 3x approvals but not how to specify that 2x need to come from one particular group.

Hope somebody can help!

Thank you!

Ben,

Hey,

I would use three different approval-activities for this. In that case, use the "Branch" action to split up into three "group approvals". Then set each approval action up as you need. Each "Approve" path for those approvals should then be joined in a "Join" action. This way your workflow will wait at the "Join" action for all the approvals to be approved (in this case 3).

Hope this helps.

Regards

Fabian

Hi Fabian, no need to apologise! Ahh Ok just have two approval tasks following from one line on the branch? ok will try.

Currently the user approval only triggers once but waits for 2x approvals from the group before proceeding (this is defined in a script)

Will let you know once i've tested!

Thanks!
