First of all: you're right, the pick function works fine, and is a
great enhancement I think, especially for activities that take some
time to complete.
But some processes may have recurring usage of the same store. For
those, if some user picks the first activity from that store, then
whenever the same store is used in the process definition then I'd
like the same user to handle that. I think I should have added
activities to make it clear:
set :f => "subject", :value => ""
set :f => "article", :value => ""
set :f => "comment", :value => ""
sequence do
redaction :activity => "request new newspaper article (sets field
'subject')"
journalist :activity => "write (sets field 'article')"
redaction :activity => "comment (sets field 'comment')"
journalist :activity => "revise (changes field 'article')"
redaction :activity => "approve"
end
Now if both Alice and Bob work at the newspaper redaction, and Charley
and Eve are journalists, then if Bobs asks for a new article, then he
should also be the one to comment on the article and finally approve
it. If Eve picks the article to actually write it, then she should
also revise it.
Maybe I just don't grasp the role of participants here?
