The assignment mechanisms are tools that allow defining the possible individuals who can possibly be responsible in charge of a process, according to in accordance with the criteria established by that the chosen mechanism itselfhas set.

The mechanisms can be used You can use the mechanisms to:

• define the process managers: configured within the process itself, it allows defining you to define who will have the power to represent any other person involved in the process, as well as receive follow-up notifications of requests;

• define who can open requests for the process: configured in the initial stage step of the process – Start component, it allows defining you to define who can open requests for the process;

• define the individuals responsible for each stage step of the process: configured in each stage step of the process – Activity component, it allows defining you to define who can be responsible for receiving the request when it arrives at each step of the stages of the process.

Nota
title Important!
When there is no assignment mechanism configured in a stage a step of the process has no assignment mechanism: if it is the initial stagestep: any person with an active registration on the platform can open requests for this process; if it is a common stagestep: when moving you move the request to this stage, it is necessary step, you need to select a person to receive it, and it is allowed to you can select any person with an active registration on the platform.

...

The assignment mechanisms aim to automatically direct process requests, facilitating the allocation attribution of responsibilities.

They seek to expedite the progress of requests by assigning each stage step to the respective responsible parties, avoiding bottlenecks, distributing stages steps among groups of people, and defining clear responsibilities.

...

The functioning of each of the mechanisms is detailed below.

Any

...

Person

...

This mechanism allows defining that any person with an active registration on the platform can be responsible for the stage steps in which it was configured; that is, meaning that any person can receive the request when it is sent to this stagesteps, or any person can open requests for the process if it is the initial stagestep.

When you move the request is moved from the previous stage step to the stage step that has this mechanism configured, it is necessary you need to select a person to receive it.

This mechanism allows defining:

• in the process steps: that only a specific group of people are responsible for the step in which it was configured, meaning only these people can receive the request when it is sent to this step or only these people can open requests for the process, if it is the initial step.

When selecting you select this mechanism in process management, or in the configurations of a step, it is necessary you need to specify which is the specific group of people.

Next, for the step, it is you also necessary need to define how to execute it should be executed – whether individually or jointly.

Individual

...

The step must be executed by a A single person , meaning that must execute this step; that is, only one person individual from the specific group should perform this step. In this case, it is you also necessary need to define whether only one person from the group should receive the request when it is moved, or if whether you should send the request should be sent to all people everyone in the group, and the first one to take it will become becoming responsible for executing the step:

• Selection of one person from the group: when you move the request is moved from the previous step to the step that has this mechanism, and this execution method is configured, it is necessary to you must select one person from the group to receive it;

The step must be executed by multiple people, meaning that Several people must execute the step; that is, more than one person from the specific group should perform the step. In this case, it is you also necessary need to define whether multiple people from the group should receive the request when it is moved or if moves, or whether to send the request should be sent to all people everyone in the group, so that it can be executed by any individuals can execute it until they reach the consensus percentage is reached:

When defining this execution method for the step, it is you also necessary need to define the consensus percentage for completion:

• Consensus for completion: the consensus percentage that must be reached for the step to be considered completed, meaning they must reach to consider the step completed; that is, the percentage of people who must take on the step and make the same decision for in order to move the request to be moved to the next one.

As soon as one person takes on the request, they become responsible for making the payment, and the request is interface no longer displayed displays the request as a pending item for the rest of the group.

Form Field

...

This mechanism allows defining that only the person indicated in a field of the request form in a previous step is responsible for the step in which it was configured, meaning that only this person receives the request when it is sent to this step.

When selecting this mechanism in the configurations of a step, it is necessary you need to specify which the form field will be used to from which you obtain this person.

Nota
title Important!
It is possible to You can use some types of fields – open for typing, combo, search – in the configuration of the mechanism. However, some may not make sense for those who will respond to the form, as the mechanism interprets only codes or IDs (user code, role code, group code, etc.), meaning the mechanism needs to receive a code as a response from the form. Painel borderColor #ebecf0 Estado subtle true title EXAMPLE The Manager field is of the type Simple Text (open for typing) and will be is used in the assignment mechanism. For the mechanism to interpret the person that will be informed is entered in the field to direct the request, the response in the field would have has to be the manager's registration code, instead of their name, which makes filling it out quite difficult. Therefore, the simplest way to configure this mechanism is by using a selection field – combo or search – configuring a dataset for it – standard or developed on the platform – and always selecting a code (ID) as Value. This way, the person responding to the form will select selects a name, but the mechanism will automatically consider considers the registration code of that selected name to direct the request. If the form linked to the process was not created in the new form editor and the field is of the type Search, when configuring a dataset for it, a hidden copy of the field is automatically created with the prefix hidden_ in the name and code. Therefore, it is this copy field that should  should be selected in the assignment mechanism. Painel borderColor #ebecf0 Estado subtle true title EXAMPLE The search field that will be used in the assignment mechanism is the direct Direct Manager, with the manager code. When configuring you configure the dataset for the field, the system automatically creates a hidden field with the name and code hidden_manager will be automatically created, and this is the field that you should be selected select when configuring the assignment mechanism. This does not occur when you create the form linked to the process was created in the new form editor.

When you move the request is moved from the previous step to the step that has this mechanism configured, it is automatically sent the system automatically sends it to the person listed in the form field that was defined in the mechanism.
