# Assign Sequentially to User/Group
Version 2
Assign the document sequentially to User / Group based on decision table. — Version 2
## **Purpose**
The "**Assign the Document Sequentially to User/Group Based on Decision Table**" workflow card dynamically assigns documents to either a user or a group, depending on the decision table's evaluation. This ensures that documents are routed appropriately based on predefined rules.
## **Components of the Card**
1. **Priority (Value)**
* **Description**: Specifies the priority level for assignments, where lower numbers represent higher priority.
* **Detail**: A numeric input field where the priority value can be set to control the sequence of assignment.
## **Functionality**
* **Decision Table Evaluation**:\
The decision table evaluates predefined conditions to decide whether the document is assigned to a user or a group.
* **Document Assignment**:
* If the decision table returns a user, the document is assigned directly to that user.
* If the decision table returns a group, the document is assigned to the group sequentially, respecting the specified priority value.
## **Setup and Configuration**
1. Add the **Assign the Document Sequentially** card to your workflow.
2. Configure the **Priority (Value)** field:
* Enter a numeric value to set the assignment priority.
3. Save and activate the workflow to apply the configuration.
## **Conclusion**
The "**Assign the Document Sequentially to User/Group Based on Decision Table**" workflow card ensures efficient and dynamic document routing. By leveraging decision table logic and priority values, the card facilitates accurate assignment to either a user or a group, streamlining document workflows.
## Practical example
**When to use:** Use a decision table to select a prioritized document assignee.
**Configuration:** Configure a matching demo decision-table rule returning the intended user or group, then select that table on the card.
**Expected result and counterexample:** The returned assignee is used for sequential document assignment. With no matching return, do not assume a default assignee; inspect the result and configured fallback behavior of this version.
This is an illustrative configuration and expected outcome. Use fields, users and groups configured in your test organization; it is not a claim that this example was executed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/administration-and-setup/workflow/cards-overview/then/assignee/assign-sequentially-to-user-group.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
