Managing Tasks

The Manage Tasks page displays individual tasks. If you have been assigned Task Management permission, you can create, assign, or reassign any existing task. You can use a basic search as well as a detail search to look for tasks.

Note: A user task can be assigned only to another user, and a group task to another group. Also, a user that belongs to a group can reassign their responsibility to another user in that group.

Additionally, only tasks of the same type (user or group) can be reassigned at the same time. Reassignment does not check against any existing task delegations. You can reassign a task to a user or group that has a valid task delegation. The list of Disburser users that display when you search for a user to reassign a task is filtered by the Disburser users' ALCs, View permission, and their Group(s) based on Business Unit, Cost Center, or Department ID with which the Disburser users and you are associated.
