Distribution Strategy

Set the distribution strategy for the task to offer or allocate the work to a user:

Note: The exact method with which work items are offered and allocated may differ, depending on the runtime environment.
  • Offer To All: Select this option to specify that you want all users that match the participant definition to have the opportunity to accept or decline the work item. For example, if there is a claims handler organizational entity (such as a group), the work item is offered to all users in that group. Once a user opens the work item, it is allocated to them and removed from the work lists of other users in that group.
  • Offer To One: Select this option to specify that you want only one user that matches the participant definition to have the opportunity to accept or decline the work item. If the user declines the work item, it is offered to another user that matches the participant definition.
  • Allocate To One: Select this option to automatically allocate the work item to a user that matches the participant definition.
  • Allocate To Offer-set Member: Select this option to allocate the work item to a specific user who is a member of the offer set defined by the user task's participant definition. A Performer Field must also be specified with this option, which the process must populate with the GUID of the specific member of the offer set to whom the work item should be allocated.
