Delegates outstanding workflow tasks to a specific user.
For example, an approval task is assigned to a user. After a specified delay, if the user has not responded, the task is delegated to another user.
Select a workflow variable that contains the ID of the Request action that is to be delegated. Only variables of type "Action ID" are listed.
To store the Action ID in the variable, configure the Store action ID in field in one of the following actions:
Specifies how long to wait before the task is delegated.
If the task is completed in this period, the delegate action will not take effect.
The total time is calculated by summing all fields, regardless of the Time calculation option selected. For example, 4 days and 4 minutes will be calculated as 96 (24x4) hours and 4 minutes.
Specifies whether or not hours outside the work week should be included when counting down the Delegate after value.
The During business days only option will specify that weekends or holidays are not included in the count down, but after hours on a business day are.
Example:
To manage holidays for your site or site collection, see Manage holidays (sites and site collections).
The During business hours only option specifies that only business hours are used in the count down.
Example:
If neither option is selected, all hours will be included in the count down.
Examples:
The user or group to delegate to. To search for users or groups, click (Browse) on the right of the text box to access the Select People and Groups dialog box. For more information on this dialog box, see Select People and Group dialog box.
Comments to be recorded when performing the delegation. These comments will appear on the workflow history page.
Enter the comments manually, or use Insert Reference to build the string dynamically at run time.
All pending tasks: reassign all tasks that have not already been actioned to the delegate
First pending task: only reassign the first non-actioned task to the delegate, and all other pending tasks will be set to not required.
