Parallel diferent type of jobs

4 years ago in Home Portal / Classic Projects with CAT integration • updated by 4 years ago • 2

Hi,

i would have a question regarding parralel jobs in a workflow ( no matter if its about quote/project)

For example imagine client would send us Cad file and excel file.

Cad files should be managed by dtp while excel file should be done by cattool depatment.

I would like cattool to work on excel file while dtp is working on Cad file at the same time. How can i set it up in Workflow?

i tried by adding a worklow job but under the same job there could be only 2 same job types ( image attached , pls consider it just as example , i put twice external projetc preparation just as example)

if i add a job as non wordklow job then its not visible at all in workflow job.

could you please help me to understand if there is a possibility to have 2 persons working at the same time in a workflow without adding new task?

thanks in advance,

Dusa Jovanovic

Hi,

I think you probably need to look at Project Workflows instead of task workflows.

Hi Dusa,

as Alexandros stated before, there's an option to use Project Workflow, though I believe this is too compllicated for what you want to achieve.

I think that in your case, maybe it's enough to just set up job starting options for the second job in the workflow, instead of trying to add parallel one.

Edit job, go to Job Starting and set it like that:

This way first and second job will start togehter, when you hit the start workflow button.
