Distributing Work to Users

When an item of work is ready to be processed, TIBCO BPM Enterprise has to determine which user(s) to distribute it to.

The initial stage of assigning a work item is done in the design time, that is in TIBCO Business Studio - BPM Edition. When process designers create a user task, they must identify who performs that task at runtime, by specifying organization model entities as participants to the user task.

At runtime, the design-time work distribution is resolved by TIBCO BPM Enterprise, which resolves the specified organization model entities into a user or set of users who receive the work item.

Note: Numerous workforce management patterns also impact the way in which work is distributed to users. See Workflow Resource Patterns Support for more information.
