Customer Requirement

We have 3 groups: A, B and C.

An user can belong to both A and B while an user in C won't be in A and B.

We need to have 4 approvals total and at least 1 approval from each group: A, B, C. 

During off hours, between 11pm to 5am, we only need at least 1 approval from each group.

How to implement the customer scenario

(info) Case of an user belonging to group A and B, his approbation will be considered taken for group B if any other user that belongs to group A has approved, is considered taken for group A if any other user that belongs to group B has approved

    • User Picker (Group B-A)
    • User Picker (Both A B).
