Hi guys!

I have a custom requirement to assign one or more user/users to the workflow after submitting.

I know, we can change the assigned user through WorkflowWorkItemTable but how can we assign a new user to the workflow.

I want to achieve this through code, as I am fetching the new users I want to assign from a custom criteria.

Regards,

Hamza

What is the actual problem or requirement here? You would be deciding workflow approvers on the fly? You can think of delegation feature of standard AX. Delegate method of SysWorkFlowWorKItem class

SysWorkFlowWorkItem::delegate(workflowWorkItemTable, WorkflowWorkItemDelegationParameters.User,

WorkflowWorkItemDelegationParameters.DelegateTo, 'Delegation');

Hi Ajit,

Thanks for your help.

Yes, the actual requirement is that I have to assign a list of users at run time from a third table based on some specific criteria.

I have already used this standard AX delegate method but it only solved half of my problem.

Delegating the approval to the another single user is okay. But I want to Reassign/Assign the approval to a list of new users.

Hamza

You can think of using work Item Queues then? Org Admin -> Setup -> Workflow -> Work item queues. And then you can assign users to that queue through code.

Couldn't you apply the conditions using AX workflow configurations? Can you illustrate more about the conditions you want to apply?

You can try using Participant provider class. I hope it will help you!!!

Below are the reference links:

So, you already know the table, 'WorkflowWorkItemTable'

If you need to create a workitem to a user (different from the one set in the configuration), you have to write that in the insert() method of the table, within your custom criteria.

this.UserId = YourUser;

HI Hazma ,

How about calling WorkflowWorkItemActionManager class dispatchWorkItemAction method in your customization in a loop for selected user. As suggested by Ajit this method accepts Queue as well .

Hi Ajit,

I have looked into it, but the queues only work for the review of the workflow.

I need to set the users on the Approvals.
