Destination Rule-Destination Sets

Destination Rule Wizard - Destination Sets

Contextualized Assistance: Destination Rule Planning Scenarios

The Destination Rule resolves a Destination Set. The Destination Set is composed of individual destination users, groups or roles. A destination rule can be composed of one or more Destination Sets. The Destination Set relies on logic supplied by the rule to determine who (destination user/group/role) will receive the worklist item.

The edit rule contains logic parameters which are used to evaluate the rules. When a rule evaluates to True, the specified destination rule is valid.

If no parameters have been configured, the rule will resolve to True.

The Destination Sets wizard screen is used to configure the Destination Sets that should be used with the workflow.

Using a SharePoint Group as a destination user

SharePoint Groups can be used as destination users separately or in conjunction with other AD Users, AD Groups or K2 Roles. The SharePoint Group will be available under the SharePoint Users node in the User Browser of the K2 Object Browser as shown below. A SharePoint Group Provider needs to be registered on the site that SharePoint Groups are created. The K2 installer automatically registers a SharePoint Group Provider on the SharePoint site provided in the installer. To manually register a SharePoint Group Provider, see Group Providers in Workspace or Register a Group Provider in SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.  

Fig.2 K2 Object Browser - SharePoint Group

  1. SharePoint Groups can contain both Active Directory Users and Groups.
  2. SharePoint Groups do not have an e-mail property, so when SharePoint groups are used as destinations and the e-mail event is set to send mail to the destination user the destination rule must be set to resolve all groups and roles to users.
