Example 3: Workflow approval matrix
To avoid that no approval Task is created, you can use a fallback approver. In that case, complete these steps:
- Ensure that the parameter that is selected on the Approval Actions tab, such as Result, has a value other than the approved or rejected value. For example, Initial.
- Add the Result parameter as a parameter to check.
- At the end of the approval matrix table, add a row that checks whether the Result parameter still has its initial value.
This table shows an example:
| Parameters to check | Distribution | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost Center | Region | Result | |
| = 'c1' | CentralOffice | ||
| <> 'c1' | North | NorthOffice | |
| <> 'c1' | South | SouthOffice | |
| = 'Initial' | Controller | ||
A Task is created for the controller. For example, if the CostCenter is c2 and the Region is East.
