resubmit workflow to the approver from where it got rejected due to time out.

Hi,

I have a situation where workflow has multiple level of approvals.

if at any level, approver doesn't approve it in the set time limit, it will get auto rejected and returns back to the workflow originator.

but when it gets resubmitted again, it gets assigned to the 1st level of approver and then it has to follow all the level of approvals again.

Is it possible where workflow can directly assigned to the approver from whatever level it was rejected due to time limit and if any data of the document (original record) is not changed.

Any hint would be much appreciated.

    Hi VDY.

    It may not be the only way and it certainly isn't very nice, but I've used a flag that I set in the "Rejected" event handler to indicate where the rejection occurred. Then after the document is resubmitted the flag was used to bypass all previous steps.

    There may be more elegant solutions out there, but this helped me at the time
