Transitioning a task - AcceleratorKMS - Version 4.0 - Help - Hexagon

Transition to

Displays the next tasks in the workflow; might include tasks such as review, edit, approve, publish, and complete.

This field does not appear when the task is being created. The field is only visible after the task is assigned.

Assign to

Provides a list of users to whom you can assign the task.

• If the next step requires only one assignee, the drop-down list displays a list of users from which you can make your selection.

• If Unassigned is selected, the task remains unassigned but available to any user with the appropriate permissions to complete and assign the task to themselves.

• If the workflow allows for multiple assignees, the system displays two available selection areas:

  • Roles -- Allows you to select all users assigned to a specific role, as well as a minimum number of those users who are required to complete the task before the workflow can proceed. If no minimum is selected, the workflow does not automatically proceed until the minimum date is reached.

  • Users -- Allows you to select specific users. A role filter is available to search for a specific user. This area is divided into two lists: Not assigned and Assigned. The Assigned list shows all selected reviewers and identifies whether they are required or optional reviewers. A solid black circle indicates required and a white circle indicates optional. You can hover over the box to see required vs. optional reviewers. You can also click this box to change your selection and toggle between Required and Optional. Select one of the following:

  • Assign selected users: Select a user and click the blue forward arrow to assign a user as a required reviewer.

  • Assign selected user as optional: Click the black forward arrow to assign a user as an optional reviewer.

  • The workflow can proceed without input from these reviewers as long as the other task requirements are met, such as minimum required reviewers and task duration.

  • Unassign selected users: You can move reviewers from the Assigned list back to the Unassigned list by clicking the back arrow.

Approval

If configured, captures the approval or rejection while transitioning a workflow task and records the selection in task history.

The Approval field is visible only when an approval is required for the current workflow task.

Comment

Describe the actions you performed and/or the actions you want the next user working on the task to perform.
