In some cases, the supervisor may want to stop tasks from being assigned to a user, without wanting to specify another user to assign the tasks to. Task allocation blocking enables the supervisor to ensure that no tasks are assigned to an individual user from a specified time and date. Task allocation blocking, like task redirection, can be set up to start at a future date, and can run until a specified end time, or run indefinitely. Any task assignments that exist for the blocked user are deleted and no new task assignment records are created for the blocked user.
A list of current and pending allocation blocks can be viewed on the Task Allocation Blocking page, and a full list of the current, pending and expired allocation blocks can be viewed on the Task Allocation Blocking History page. Active or pending allocation blocks can be cleared by the supervisor.
