AcquaintanceUserList - User type (list link type), defines the users who will receive the document for acquaintance.

Namespaces:

using EleWise.ELMA.Documents.Managers;
using EleWise.ELMA.Documents.Models.Tasks;
using EleWise.ELMA.Security;
using EleWise.ELMA.Security.Models;
using EleWise.ELMA.Services;
using EleWise.ELMA.Tasks.Models;
using EleWise.ELMA.Extensions;

Script text:

var initiator = (User)EleWise.ELMA.Security.Services.AuthenticationService.GetCurrentUser<EleWise.ELMA.Security.Models.IUser>(); // - an authenticated user sends the document for acquaintance
var Acq_group = new AcquaintanceTaskGroup(); // - create a new acquaintance task group
Acq_group.CreationAuthor = initiator; // - identify the user who sent the document for acquaintance
Acq_group.CreationDate = DateTime.Now; // - acquaintance date
Acq_group.Subject = "Acquaintance with the document"+ context.Document.Name.ToString(); // - name of the acquaintance group
Acq_group.ExecutionDate = Acq_group.ExecutionDate.AddDays(1); // - due date of the acquaintance tasks
Acq_group.Status = AcquaintanceStatus.None; // - set the Pending acquaintance status

Acq_group.Items.Add(new DocumentTaskItem{ Document = context.Document.CastAsRealType(), Version = context.Document.CurrentVersion != null ? context.Document.CurrentVersion.CastAsRealType() : null }); // - select a document and its version for acquaintance
var securityService = Locator.GetServiceNotNull<SecurityService>();
//next, users are loaded to the acquaintance list, taking into account possible substitutions
//if taking into account subsitutions is not required, you can simplify the mechanism
