A User path stop member identifies a dynamic user. The user who receives the approval depends on which user is identified by the path. This stop member type is only available if a specific object is identified for the route on its General tab.

To add a user path as a stop member

1.Click the Stops tab of the route to which you want to add a user path as a stop member. 2.From the Member Type drop-down list, select User path. User Paths as Route Stop Members 3.Click the Navigator icon and create a path using Object Navigator. 4.If appropriate, select the check-box to require all members of the stop to approve the requested operation. This requires approval from all members of the stop, including all users who are identified by this path, as well as other members of the stop. 5.Click add more to continue adding stop members, or click Save to save the route.

When adding a user path as a member of a stop, keep in mind that if there is no user identified by the path, then the member is not added to the stop. For example, if you want the route to go to the Main Assignee of a project and this is the only member of the stop, then the stop is skipped if there is no Main Assignee, and the route automatically proceeds to the next stop.

When creating a path to a user for a member of a stop, the path must end with an attribute in the object model that identifies a user. This means that your final selection in Object Navigator must be one of the following:

•user->

•createdBy->

•modifiedBy->

•expensedBy->

•enteredBy->

•transitionedBy->

•Another attribute that identifies a user.

Important: Only users may be members of a route. Do not select an attribute that identifies a contact as your final selection for a user path.

The following table provides sample user paths created for a stop member.
