    I see thta user actions can be specified as a role or as a specific user. Assuming I'm working with a giant table of the world that lists all approval chains by department, is there a way to dynamically(sp?) assign the user to the node?

      You can query your giant table, set the returned approver value as a variable, then set the user action to that variable.

        So when I set the user action to that variable (id), the unit will move into that_ person's inbasket?

            And suppose I had a set of inbaskets a work unit needed to go through. Could I assign each of them a variable in the flow to guide who sees a unit?

              You can go from UserAction to UserAction (you'd have to update your ID variable each time) or you can set up a single UserAction to go to multiple recipients at the same time. If you did that you would have to decide the logic for the possible different Actions those approvers took.

              You can also update your ID variable and circle back to the same UserAction but you'll have to build something in there to determine when to break out of the circle.
