Hi

I need to design a process which based on the input passed to it, would trigger a sub-process multiple times e.g. lets say I pass the Main process a Team-Id and then we need to call a sub-process multiple times based on the number of Team-members we have for that team-id (trigger sub-process once for for each team member).  
 ![Team-Flow](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex035/uploads/flowable/original/1X/291ea04ffdcca9f325481a3a7385581db419716c.png)

Please suggest how, I can achieve this.

Thanks  
Vinay

Hi Vinay,

use multiinstance:  
[http://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#bpmnMultiInstance](http://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#bpmnMultiInstance)

Hi Shweta,

have a look on `org.flowable.engine.test.bpmn.multiinstance.MultiInstanceTest` in flowable source.
