Roles
Many organizations assign work to a role, such as a Project Manager, rather than directly to a named individual.
Using roles rather than naming individuals gives you more flexibility in that you may not know the name of the person who will perform a task, although you may know the role required.
In Kofax TotalAgility, you can assign work to one of the following:
When designing a process, you can define a number of roles that are specific to that business process.
See Create a role.
You cannot use groups or other roles as role members. But an individual can belong to more than one role. Changing the members allocated to a role in one business process does not affect any other business processes in the system even if they have the same role name.
A role can be fixed or floating.
Once a role is created, assign a role to an activity.
If the activity is an embedded process, it uses the role from the parent map (if the role already exists).
If the activity is a subjob, it uses the role created for the subjob and not from the parent map.
