Configuring Bulk Assignment/Reassignment approval

The Bulk Approval setting allows you on a task-by-task basis to allow workflow participants to approve multiple assignments at one time.

Enabling bulk approval for a task

Back to top

1. In Designer, click on the Approval or Activity node for which you want to enable Bulk Approval.

   A Node is a single step in a workflow. For example, a node could represent a task assigned to a user, or an action, such as sending a notification or setting of a value. Think of Nodes as the 'building blocks' of a Workflow.

2. In the Properties pane, scroll to the UI Support section.
3. Click in the AllowBulkApproval field.
4. In the drop-down list, click True.

Bulk Reassignments enable you to reassign all of one person’s assignments to another person. This can be done for a single task (to accommodate departmental restructuring for example) or for all tasks (to accommodate someone leaving the company), allowing you to maintain continuity and efficiency in workflows while minimizing downtime.

1. Go to a SharePoint site, login as Administrator, and click Winshuttle Process List.

4. In the To the user with this user name text box, type the domain/username of the person to whom you want to assign the tasks.
