SP 2013 workflow CompositeTask CompletionCriteria

Question

Designing a declarative workflow with Visual Studio 2013 I try to use a CompositeTask to fulfill the following requirements

• approval workflow for multiple users with a parallel task
• if at least 50% of the users respond we go on with the workflow
• the outcome of the CompositeTask is 'rejected' if only one of the responses is 'rejected'

So I set the CompletionCriteria of the CompositeTask activity

• 'Wait for percentage of a response'
• CompletionCriteriaProperties: 'Percentage' = 50; 'InterestedOutcome' = 3

according to MSDN dev network

The thing with the 50% works. Good, but the task outcome is always approved. So at the moment the 50% response criteria is what the task makes to say 'success'. But how to tell it that it has to consider the 'specific outcome' of the several responses?

Answer 1

You should set the Required outcome to "Approved" and the Default outcome to "Rejected". The note below the Completion criteria says: "This option will make the workflow wait until a specified percentage of a particular outcome is received. If the required percentage is not achieved, it will return the default outcome."
