multiple approval flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3

Our need is to monitor the approval in case an approval is sent to more than 1 approver simultaneously.

 

In a case similar to the following

How can I intercept in the flow if someone in the “FunApproverLoc” list has approved ?

For sure if one “reject” the flow goes forward and I can check the response (for example in the log9 step).

Even when all the approver has approved the flow goes forward and I can find all the approver and the date when they approve.

 

But if one has approved and another one is still waiting how can be aware of this?

 

Thanks

Enrico

    @eferrari 

    The short answer is that you can't monitor who has and has not taken action with your current Design.

    My suggestion is to assign a separate approval action to each approver in a loop.  After each approval completes, update you SharePoint list with the results - I usually use a multi-line text column for this possibly with append text turned on.

    The key to making this work is to go to the loop settings and turn on concurrency control.  That way all of your approvals will execute in parallel rather than sequentially.

    Let me know if you need an example.

    I would add one thing to what @ScottShearer has said.  If you have access to a premium (per user or per app) license then you can look up the approval in CDS and figure out who has and who hasn't approved.  But its very complicated and does require a premium license.  Scott's suggestion is better.
