## How to Enter a Weighting to a Distribution List

| ### What to do:
| To work through this example first complete the example Add users to a Distribution List and add further users to the distribution list.
| The users/groups listed in the distribution list can be assigned a weighting which is measured in votes. The weighting is used to determine the extent to which users/groups participate in the approval/review process of e.g. a single object or a process step.
| In the example the user BOB and the group ProcessManager are added to the distribution list. The activated checkboxes in the Required field indicate that the ManagerGroup and Bob have to cast their vote, whereas the vote of the ProcessManager group is not required.
| Highlight a user or group.
| To change to edit mode click .
| Click the Weight field and enter a value for the weighting.
| To save the entry click .
| In the example the weighting is distributed as follows:
| To get a positive result of the vote, the number of votes must be 100 or more!
| In the example the voting result is positive, if the ManagerGroup and Bob vote with "yes".
| Since the ManagerGroup and the ProcessManager group are not exploded, it is sufficient that one member of the group casts the vote!
| Basically, there are several possibilities to get a voting result: 1. The voting yields in a clear result 1.1 Only not required voters: Once the voting has reached 100% (no matter if the result is negative or positive) the voting is finished and the result is certain. The required voters who haven't cast their vote until then can't vote anymore. 1.2 Only required voters: The evaluation starts after the last required voter has voted. If the evaluation comes to a clear result (one side has more than 100%), than this result is valid. If both sides have more than 100%, than the positive result always applies. 1.3 Mixed voters (required and not required): Basically, the evaluation takes place after the last required voter has voted. If there's a clear result, then the voting is finished (no matter how many not required voters haven't cast their vote). If all required voters have voted and the result is not clear and not required votes are still open, then rule 1.1 applies: as soon as the voting has reached 100% (including not required votes), the voting is finishied. If all voters have cast their vote and there' no clear result, than rule no. 2 applies. 2. The voting doesn't yield a clear result If all voters have cast their vote (independent of required or not required votes) and the result isn't clear for any side (<100%), then the result is always negative.
