How to avoid dependency in a workflow

    Hi,

    I have made a workflow, if I select a particular type of request i.e., Inter office memo, it asks the user to specify the number of reviewers. If the user inputs 4 reviewers then the user has to define 4 user ids of the reviewers.

    The challenge here is:

    1) I am not sure how many reviewers will the user specify so how do I create a flow of "n" number of approvals.

    2) I want the workflow to be independent and not move from one reviewer to another reviewer i.e., any of the "n" reviewers can approve or reject the request at any point of time. However the workflow should enter the final stage only when all the reviewers have approved it.

    Is there any way to make this happen..

    Hello there,

    You need to set up predefined numbers of users. You need to know the final number of approvals and they add the number of fields you need in the flow.

    Best regards.

    Thanks. However is there some way to make the approval process independent as mentioned in point 2..

    Hello there,
    Please have a look at this screenshot:

    Using this option since you have several people that need to confirm or deny the submission, you need to click on the button and then to send an email. This can be achieved with the Merge branches element.
