K2 Out of Office - Add Destination Users in SharePoint Process Portal

Contextualized Assistance: Out of Office - Forward User and Out of Office - Exception User. These scenarios are created in K2 Workspace but the principles remain the same when using Out of Office in SharePoint Process Portal.

When configuring K2 Out of Office it is necessary to assign destination users who will receive the shared K2 Worklist items. The destination users can be set by the user In SharePoint or alternatively by the administrator in  SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration or in a  Process Portal site. 

The K2 Out of Office configuration screen in SharePoint Process Portal is accessible from your Portal site > AdministrationOut of Office Users node.

The default setting of In the office can be changed to Out of the office. Then browse and select the user you want to add with whom all the work should be shared with. This list displays the users that will view and process the work on behalf of the out of office user, whilst the user is absent. The user will be able to add and delete destination users(forwarded users) to and from this list. By adding a user(s) to this list, all K2 Worklist items will be shared with the listed destination user(s). Completion of this section is compulsory to enable sharing of K2 Worklist items.
