Hi,

I'm fairly new to Appian so please excuse me if there is an obvious answer to my question.

I have created a process model which enables users to allocate themselves a task by pressing a button. The tasks have a score allocated them, scoring them on the deadline they are due and how long they have been in the system. The tasks are allocated in order of their score (all scores are unique). The problem I'm having with my use case is that if users press the button within seconds of each other, they are receiving the same confirmation of task allocation but the task only goes to one user and other users have no tasks allocated to them. Is there a method to avoid this scenario? There are roughly 20 users seeking tasks out of the same pool.

Can anyone assist please?

Hi, the button appears on a report that targets the group of 20 users, which launches the process model to determine the task allocation. I have attached a screenshot of the model that is launched. The "design task info" is the form that displays the confirmation. I have put in a timer and an initial report check to make sure users don't spam the button. I hope the attached offers more insight, but please ask me anything else if needed.
