Add Delegation

API Type

Web Services

Description

Creates a rule for delegating one user's tasks to another user.

Good to Know

  • After a delegation is added, its status is set to Created.
  • After it is created, you must call the ActivateDelegation method for the delegation to take effect.
  • This method uses the WFDelegation class. For more information, see the AgilePoint Class Reference.
