Time bounded task

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hi,

I have a small query about time boundary tasks. I have a stage in my BPML that handles a review process. This may involve a peer review (optional) and a manager review. My thinking at the moment is to model this as one activity and have it as a time bounded task. The point is that one it’s assigned to someone, they have N days. So when they complete it and assign it to the next person, they have N days. So, what I want to be able to do, is remain on the same activity, but reset the timer when it’s been reassigned. So, if I assigned it to Joe and he’s taken 3 of 5 days and assigns it to Josie, I want Josie to have 5 days to do this, not the remaining 2 for the previous.

I suspect this is easier than I’m making it, but I don’t see any clean way to reset the timer.

Hi @stephenm,

you could do it either in the model:
grafik

or with a task listener on assignment, where you reset the due date of the job. See ManagementService (Camunda BPM Javadocs 7.9.19-ee).

Hope this helps, Ingo
