&lt;p&gt;Another option is to create the groups dynamically as they are needed. That is, when a task is generated, I calculate what its work group should be and if it does not exist, I create it, and if it exists, I assign the task to that group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Assign task array user</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/137581?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jul 2024 07:56:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:886f6392-80fb-46b2-b2a3-70841ec1056a</guid><dc:creator>Ra&amp;#250;l G&amp;#243;mez Moya</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, I can have 1400 groups, one for each department of my client.

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Using user array -&amp;gt; If a new employee joins any department, how will you add that employee to that department&amp;#39;s existing tasks(tasks not accepted by any users) so that the new employee can take action?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;User Group -&amp;gt; If a user is added to the department group, the new employee can take action on existing tasks (i.e. tasks not yet accepted by any users).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
