  • How are you capturing the users? You can do multiple tasks in a designer workflow, but what kicks off their tasks? Commented Dec 27, 2012 at 18:41
  • My initial idea was to capture users through the Document property. Unfortunately the initialization parameters don't let you select users. When the workflow starts, it will kick off everyone's task. Someone has to start the workflow in order for the selected users to read that document. Commented Dec 27, 2012 at 22:40

    You can have a custom "People/Group" type column that you can specify the users or a group of the people you want to have tasks. Then in the workflow you can pull that column in and create a task for all the users in that group. Commented Dec 27, 2012 at 22:47
  • ok. but for that I need to define the exact People/group in the workflow. Actually this is supposed to be a runtime variable. Even if I had the People/Group column in the document library, I will then have to edit the column value in order for me to get the users I want in the workflow. Commented Jan 1, 2013 at 23:19

    Eventually I decided to use Sharepoint Learning Kit from codeplex. It meets our requirements and there is no development required. Commented Jan 3, 2013 at 15:22
