When you execute a workitem from the inbox you have reserved the workitem=
and
it is no longer available to other agents. If you select cancel while
processing the workitem that could be because you want to come back to it=
later when you have more information and you may want it to remain in you=
r
inbox. =
If you have reserved the workitem in error, you release the work item fro=
m its
reserved status and make it available again to all of the original agents=
by
using the "replace" functionality in either the inbox or the workitem dis=
play
screen. It is found in menu path: Work item > Replace. The workitem mus=
t be
in status "reserved" or "in process" to do this.
