Vote Step

In this Vote Step, a group of users can cast votes on predefined options.

The step requires a moderator to oversee the process and finalize the outcomeThe principle of the step is to conduct a survey to gather group opinions before deciding on a workflow step. The survey is initiated by the user creating definitions. It requires selecting a group of users, adding predefined answers, and a moderator who will make the final decision. Members of the group choose one or more predefined answers. Members of the group can then select one or more of the predefined answers.

Once the survey is complete, the system aggregates and displays the results, allowing the moderator to manually approve or reject the workflow.

This approach promotes collaborative decision-making while preserving the moderator's ultimate authority.

Info

When the Vote Step is placed within a definition with multiple steps, the outcome of the Vote Step determines what happens next in the overall approval process.

  • Moderator rejects from Vote Step:
    This rejection will immediately finalize (end) the approval process no matter how many steps were originally in the workflow. In other words, once a rejection occurs, the process stops right there, and the approval path is considered rejected.

  • Moderator approves or chooses another outcome from Vote Step:
    The approval path does not end. Instead, the process will move on to the next step in the defined sequence of the approval definition.

...

Voting options are predefined choices that users in the voting group can select. These options are customizable. Additionally, you can include an optional description for each option, which will appear as a tooltip next to the option name for users to view.

Voting expiration

The Vote Step allows you to optionally define an expiration date for the voting process. Once the expiry date is reached:

  • Voting is automatically disabled.

  • Moderator is notified, step requires his decision.
