Accepting a Task Assigned to a Group or Role

When the route creator assigns a task to a group or role and that task is created, the system notifies everyone assigned to the group or role. Before the task can be completed, one of the recipients must accept the task, which assigns the task to that person. The first person who accepts the task becomes the new assignee and no one else can complete the task (unless the assignee delegates the task).

To accept a task assigned to a role that you belong to

1. Open the New Task Assignment Notice that the system sent to you:
1. From the global toolbar, click Tools>IconMail.
2. From the IconMail page, click the Subject of the New Task Assignment Notice.
2. From Mail Properties, click the link in the Message row to open details about the task.
3. From the Actions menu on the Properties/Content page for the task, click Accept Task.

The system changes the task assignee from the group or role name to your name and notifies other group or role members that you have accepted the task. You are the only person who can complete the task now and you do so as you would any task. See Completing a Task.
