## **Purpose**

The "**Assign Sequentially to User**" workflow card automates the assignment of documents to a selected user in a sequential manner. The priority value determines the order of assignment, with lower numbers representing higher priority.

## **Components of the Card**

1. **User**
   * **Description**: The selected user will be assigned the document based on the workflow sequence.
   * **Detail**: A dropdown menu that lists all available users for assignment.
2. **Priority (Value)**
   * **Description**: A numeric input field where the priority level for the user can be set.
   * **Detail**: Lower numbers signify higher priority. Documents are assigned to users in ascending order of priority.

## **Functionality**

* **Document Assignment**:\
  The card assigns documents to the selected user sequentially, considering the priority level.\
  If multiple users have the same priority, the documents are assigned in the order users appear in the dropdown menu.

## **Setup and Configuration**

1. Add the **Assign the Document Sequentially** card to your workflow.
2. Configure the **User** field:
   * Select a user from the dropdown menu.
3. Configure the **Priority (Value)** field:
   * Enter a numeric value to set the assignment priority.
4. Save and activate the workflow to apply the configuration.

## **Conclusion**

The "Assign the Document Sequentially to User" workflow card ensures organized document distribution by assigning documents in a prioritized sequence. This enhances task management and reduces delays in processing.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/administration-and-setup/workflow/cards-overview/then/assignee/assign-sequentially-to-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
