Dynamic actors

Q&A
1

Hi,all
I’m new to bonita bpm,and I want to know how to use actor dynamically in Bonita BPM 6.3.8. I have two questions about this:
1 I added a variable role with data type text ,it contains the real role in my organization .How can I add actors with data role in one human task?
2 If I installed the app in the protal. How can I enable the app without mapping any real user or role or group in my organization.

Thanks for any help and suggestions! :slight_smile:

Hi,

  1. If you want to do assignment based on a value of a variable, you would need to use an actor filter. There is no out-of-the-box actor filter that allows you to use a specific role. You would have to develop your own actor filter that would take a value which corresponds to the role name and give back a list of users belonging to this role. You can find more information about actor filters here .
  2. you cannot enable a process until actors are correctly mapped. This is a requirement. Otherwise the process could not be executed, as there would be no users to do its tasks.

Hi Andy,

I would suggest you to watch following webinar and more precisely at minute 32’.

It explains how doing the actor mapping/association inside your process within the studio.

Additionnally I would suggest you to read following online documentation :
