| Name | Using Whens with Bulk Processing | |
| Message | Check 'Disqualify this action from bulk processing' whenever you specify Whens to improve the performance of showing the list of bulk processing assignments | |
| Details | N/A | |
| Severity | 3 | |
Suggested Approach
If you have entered one or more when rules on the Security tab:
Select Disqualify this action from bulk processing? on the Actiontab:
If you use a flow action for bulk processing and the flow action contains when rule(s), they must be run against every assignment matching the chosen work type within that worklist or workbasket. This causes excessive and in most cases, unnecessary, rule executions.
