Task assignment in Process Portal: Frequently asked questions

Answers to a set of frequently asked questions about task assignment and reassignment.


Which tasks do I have access to?

You have access to the following types of tasks:


Who can I reassign my task to?

If you claim a task by mistake, you can reassign the task back to the group or you can reassign it to another user in the group. To reassign the task back to the group, select Reassign Back to Group from the actions list for the task. To reassign the task back to the group or to another user in the group, select Modify Task from the actions list for the task.


When I enter a name, I get too many users back. How do I find the exact person that I am looking for?

For example, you entered ben as the user name, but the list of names contains all the users whose user names or display names include ’ben’ anywhere within them, for example, benjamin, adminben, sam benwell. To limit this list of names to exactly who you are looking for, enclose the name you enter in quotation marks.

For example, to reassign the task to ben, enter "ben".


Why is the Reassign back to group choice not available for my task?

This behavior occurs when the task was assigned only to you and not to one of the groups that you belong to. You can, however, assign the task to another user by selecting Modify Task from the actions list for the task.
