  5. In the Add Role dialog box:

    3. Click Add Member.

      You can type a substring in the Filter field to display only users or groups whose names contain the substring.

  7. Click OK again to close the Add Role dialog box.
  8. On the Permissions tab:
    1. In the Name column, select the users and groups you added to the roles you created in steps 5 through 7.

    The notification can be used to inform users who need to approve the parallel transition.
    1. On the Notification tab, click Add Folder Notification.
    2. Select the folder the notification applies to and click OK.
    3. In the Folder Notification dialog box, on the Recipients tab, click Add Recipients.

    5. Optionally, if you want to let users who run the parallel transition choose notification recipients, enable the Dynamic check box for the recipients.

  11. Click Save to save the change to the workflow.
