Threshold Voting (Action)

The Threshold Voting action creates a user task for multiple voters.

Use it when a group must approve or reject a decision.

The step finishes as soon as a majority is reached.

The current status of the step is shown directly under the Step Type. Specific problems can be seen by expanding the box.

Use Task Name to give the step a clear label.

Use Add Instructions to tell the assigned user what to submit.

Keep both fields specific. Good labels make the task easier to find and complete.

Use Role to define who is responsible for the task.

Roles are configured at process level in the Roles tab.

Use Context to pass values into the task.

This can include system values like Executing-Actor and instanceID, or your own symbols.

Use Total Voters to define how many votes are expected.

Use Decision Name to state what is being approved or rejected.

Use Criteria to add a ParameterSet with structured assessment fields.

Criteria answers are stored with each individual vote.

Open DETAILS for advanced settings.

Use Add Delay if the task should become active later.

Enable Workdays only if the delay should ignore weekends and non-working days.

Use Connections to review incoming and outgoing links for this step.

Use Data to manage automatic context modifications and local symbols.

Automatic context modifications update process values when the task is completed.

Local symbols store step-specific values that are only relevant inside this action.

• The step uses a simple majority rule: Math.floor(Total Voters / 2) + 1.
• The vote ends early when approval or rejection reaches that majority.
• Outgoing paths map to success, failure, or undecided.
• undecided can occur when the final result is tied.
