The following figure shows an example of a workflow for an expense report. The workflow includes a task that is assigned to three people: Ivan, Kim, and Dean.

A task can be assigned to multiple people. However, only one person can complete a task.
Assume that Sam has submitted an expense report totaling USD 7,000 and has routed his receipts to Kim for review. Kim must first accept the task. By accepting the task, Kim indicates that she intends to complete it. (The task is then removed from Ivan's work list and Dean's work list.)
After Kim has finished reviewing the receipts, she marks the task as complete. The expense report is then assigned to Frank, and then to Sue, for approval.
Because the total amount is not more than USD 10,000, Ann does not have to approve the expense report. Therefore, after Sue approves the expense report, the workflow ends.
