The Quality control user can either be a first level or second level approver
-
The same case assignment should not be fetched for the second level approval for the same QualityControl user
-

Detailed Tasks
1 Identify design options
Option 1: Circumstance Assign-Workbasket GetNextWork listview
Assign-WorkBasket GetNextWork list view rule is circumstanced by property value OperatorID.pyWorkGroup = "QC@FSG". For quality control users, the circumstanced version of GetNextWork will be picked, and the base version of GetNextWork will be picked for other application users. Additional logic can be applied in the circumstanced version of GetNextWork to restrict the same quality control user approving the same case in the second approval assignment and sort on pxCreateDateTime with ascending.
Option 2: Add a custom button that runs the Open Assignment action
Add a custom button to the pyCaseManagerShortcuts(Dashboard-Widget) section and configure the Open Assignment action. This action requires a parameter for opening the assignment. A custom activity is used to populate this key by using the report definition and GetNextWorkCriteria decision tree. This report definition has a filter criteria based on business requirements.
Option 3: Override Assign-WorkBasket GetNextWork related rules
Apply a Save as to the existing GetNextWork list view rule in Assign-Workbasket class with the filter criteria per the business requirements. Override the Assign- findAssignmentInWorkbasket activity to execute the new list view rule for the quality control workgroup users. Otherwise, execute the existing list view rule.

3 Recommend the best design option
Option 1 is simple to implement and maintain. This option uses the circumstance by the property for Assign-Workbasket.GetNextWork list view rule. This option1 reflects existing GetNextWork functionality and does not affect other facility coordinators when using GetNextWork.
