(Example) Reassign a Task to a Different User from Manage Center
This example shows how to reassign a task to a different user in Manage Center.
Background and Setup
Prerequisites
- A running process.
- These access rights:
- Enable Manage Center Access
- Reassign a Task
For more information, refer to:
- This example uses the Sales Invoice app from the AgilePoint NX App Store.
For more information, refer to How to Get the App
Good to Know
- As a best practice, if you want to reassign a task, it is recommended to search by process instance name
so that you do not reassign a task from the wrong process instance.
To search by process instance name, you can retrieve it from Work Center. For more information, refer to:
In this example, the process instance name is Sales Invoice-2023-07-28T09:53:30:732.
- The Sales Invoice app creates an invoice for products sold by an organization.
This app provides a form to enter information for the invoice. The invoice request is then routed for escalating approvals from the finance manager.
For the use case in this example, after the form submits, the invoice request is routed for escalating approval from the finance manager. If the finance manager is away, a user with the necessary access rights reassigns the Finance Manager Approval task to the CEO so that the task can be completed.
