Vote Step
The 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.

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.
