Chained Execution

Chained Execution allows you to specify that a user automatically starts the next work item in the same process instance as soon as the previous one has been completed.

To set up a chained execution pattern, you refactor the required user tasks as an embedded sub-process, and mark the sub-process to use chained execution.

User tasks that are to be chained together must meet the following requirements:

• They can be assigned to different Participants, but they still are offered to the same user if that user qualifies under the participant definitions for each task. For example, if one task is assigned to a position and the second to a group, a user who both holds that position and belongs to that group can be given both tasks. If the user is not a member of the group, the second task is offered to each of the group members.
• They must have Offer to All as their Distribution Strategy (see Offering and Allocating Work).
