Execute several workitems at the same time

[Former Member]

Hi everybody, we are implementing the Release Payment Funcionality, but due to a big volume of workitems it's necessary to execute a lot of workitems at the same time.

I mean, we manage 3000 workitems per week and all of them follow a procedure in wich in some cases there is only one "Releaser", so he needs to release payments in a mass way.

Is it possible to do that??

What I understood from your query it seems that the Releaser does not cafe about the Payment Release and needs to do in a Massive way. In that case his action is needless. At this point you can just change the Template and do the Release in background because in any ways the Releaser is doing things in a Mass way hence it is impossible for him to check. If there is any logic that can be implemented before Release you can put it before. Why make the Releaser work?

Thanks

If the Approval step is a User Decision, the Approver can first select all that he/she shall Approve or, all that he/she shall Reject, or whatever other options you configure.

Once selected, click on the "Execute" button found on the toolbar immediately above the list of workitems in the Business Workplace.

The Approver will then be presented with the User Decision for the first selected work item. Now, whatever choice he/she wants applied to this and all selected work items, they should click it.

Next, the Approver will be prompted with a question asking if they want the same choice applied to the selected work items that remain.

I don't suggest this method for all 3,000 at once, but in a pinch, for a few hundred at a time, it works pretty well.

Hope this is relevent...apologies if not.
