SUPPORT Q&A - Workflow Activity Automatic vote after 3 days?

Geoffroy - Thursday, November 9, 2006 1:31 PM:

Is is possible for the Workflow to automatically complete (default vote) an Activity,  if the user has not voted within 3 days?

You can configure the Workflow Map Activity to have a default path that is taken upon a timeout.
1)       for the Activity make sure there is an Escalate_To Identity specified,  I recommend setting this to "Innovator Admin"
2)       On the Activity,  make sure there is a TimeOut Duration  (3 days)
3)       On the Activity add a Server Event pointing to a new VB Method.  The event is OnEscalate
4)      Make sure the Innovator Service is running, and it is configured to run the run the Innovator ExecuteEscalations  SOAP action.   The Service should be running as Innovator Admin (same user as the Escalate to above).
5)  In the new Method on the OnEscalate event,   Complete the Activity, sending the Vote down the path you would like to be the Default.
How this works....    the nightly service will escalate (re-assign) the Activity after 3 days to Innovator Admin.   The  Escalation event will call the OnEscalate method,  which then, as Innovator Admin,  votes on the Activity,  completing it along some default path.
