Static Branch Assignments

Overview

Static branch assignments are used when ALL finite number of assignees (ex: approvers) must complete a task before allowing a Flow to continue.  To facilitate this process, use a Branch Step and a Merge Step.

Example

This example reviews the configuration of a basic static branch assignment.

1. In a Designer Folder, create a Flow (ex: Main Flow).
2. Drag a Branch Step, a Merge Step, and two Run Flow steps onto the Flow canvas. 
3. Name the first Run Flow step (ex: Assign Task Flow), then configure it to contain an Add Task step assigned to a user (ex: admin@decisions.com). 
4. Connect the Start and End steps to the Add Task step, then Close and Save the Flow.
5. Name the second Run Flow step (ex: Assign Task Flow2), then configure it to contain an Add Task step assigned to a different user (ex: user@decisions.com).
6. Connect the Start and End steps to the Add Task step, then Close and Save the Flow. 
7. Place the Run Flow steps in between the Branch Step and Merge Step. 
8. Clicking Debug on the top Action Bar will task out the assignments to the specified assignees. 
9. Observe how the Flow waits for BOTH assignees to complete the assignment before resuming.
