Difference between individual user and group on Review Projects

[MollyGr]

Hello, can someone confirm for me the functionality that's available in the Review Task Assign to drop-down? 

I can select individual users then I have the option to select groups by role. When you select a group by role: 

* Does this send the topic/topics to each person with that role, provided they're in your review project?

* If I update the review task, does this resend the review task to all reviewers assigned?

* Why do the group names include one of my reviewer's names and how would I remove that?

Thanks!

Hi @MollyGr ,

AEM’s review task stitches its core collaboration features together to facilitate the common workflow of asset review and approval. The flow review task facilitates is as follows. A creative upload to set new assets, a reviewer reviews and decides which assets to accept, reject or request changes.
If a user is part of a group and group is selected as reviewer then it will send notification to all the users of that group.

If you want to exclude some group form dropdown, you can create Sling Filter that will intercept "/mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/projects/addtask/jcr:content/body/items/form/items/wizard/items/tabs/items/basic/items/singlecontainer/items/assign.userlist.html?" request that provides list of options in the drop-down.

So in that filter you will need to remove entries that you do not want to expose to the users. Also please make sure that your custom functionality is not impacting existing one. You can find more information about filters under https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/filters.html.

Other option could be to write JavaScript that will hide/remove specific group.
