For any activity with a BPM service implementation, you can designate the users who receive the runtime task by using the Assignments page in the properties for that activity.

In the Designer view, click an activity in a BPD diagram to display its properties.

Go to the Assignments page in the properties view.

From the ASSIGN To LIST, choose one of the following options:

Last User in Lane:

Assigns the runtime task to the user who completed the activity that immediately precedes the selected activity in the swimlane.

Do not select this OPTION for the first activity in a lane UNLESS the activity is a service in a top-level BPD and a Start Event is in the lane. In this case, the runtime task is routed to the user who started the BPD.

Lane Participant:

Assigns the runtime task to the participant group associated to the swimlane in which the selected activity is located (the default selection).

Routing Policy:

Assigns the runtime task according to the policy that you establish.

List of Users:

Assigns the runtime task to an ad hoc list of users.

Custom:

Assigns the runtime task according to the JavaScript expression that you provide in the corresponding field. To select one or more variables for your expression, click the variable selection icon next to the field.

The JavaScript expression produces results such as USER:<user_name>, ROLE:<group_name>, or PG:<participant_group>, where user_name is the name of an IBM® BPM user (such as tw_author), group_name is the name of an IBM BPM security group (such as tw_authors), and participant_group is the name of a group of users in your enterprise.
