Reassign work

If the workflow definition allows you to reassign work that has been assigned to you, you can assign the work to another participant. You can also choose to have the work return to you for approval after the other participant has completed it, before it progresses to the next step in the workflow.

To reassign a work item to another participant

  1. On the work item page, click Reassign. If there is no Reassign button, you do not have the option to reassign this work.
  2. At the prompt, select an available participant. Only individual users (rather than groups) can be selected.
  3. Specify if you want to approve the work before it progresses to the next step in the workflow.

NOTE If you reassign a work item to another participant, that item will no longer be available from your e-mail Inbox; you should delete any obsolete e-mail message.
