I am running version 10.0.6 of IPA and I want to assign the User Action to the user associated with a variable. I thought I could use the Task variable list in the work assignment on the General tab for a User Action node. When I attempt to ONLY use a task variable () without a user or task I receive a designer error "Required field: Work assignmnt tasks or users". I tried using a task and a variable but the user was not notified of pending work. I'm trying to create a flow that would require leadership to approve work units and I didn't want to set up tasks for every leader in the organization. Any thoughts?

You should be able to use a variable in the User assignment section of your UserAction. IPA will give you a warning but it should still work.

Hi Greg Dey,

I'm not sure I'm following what you are trying to do.

User Actions require either an ActorID (user) or a TaskID for assignees. You can either select a "static" Task or User from the drop-down list, or you can select a variable that contains an ActorID or TaskID

I'd recommend checking that the Actor is set up as a Pflow User, and that the Pflow User is associated with the Task you are using.

The attached sample flow (you'll have to change the extension to .lpd) uses both an Actor Approver variable and a Task Approver variable, and doesn't have any static approver, and I didn't get any errors.

Good Luck
Kelly

Kelly -- Do you receive any process issues in the designer (error or warnings)?

Nope - no errors or warnings using my flow in my designer. However, now that I look at it, I am on a later version of Designer - v10.1.1.1.3773. Sorry I didn't notice that before.

Thanks for the help. At least I know it's supposed to work the I think it should.
