The following pattern table highlights facts around the Serial Routing Pattern:
Signature |
Serial Routing Pattern |
Classification |
Human Task Pattern |
Intent |
A set of people (participants) must work in sequence. |
Motivation |
The participants have to act in a serial fashion, one after another. |
Applicability |
This pattern is useful in scenarios where multiple users have to provide their opinion in a serial fashion. |
Implementation |
This is implemented using serial routing in participant blocks. Though this pattern intends to allow participants to work in a sequence, the assignment of tasks to participants also depends on the list-building pattern. For example, if the list-building pattern is the name and expression, then the task gets assigned to participants in a sequence; however, if the list builder pattern is a group, then the task gets assigned to all the users at the same time. However, one of the participants has to claim it and then act on it. |
