<DIV>Jocelyn,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The doco on ad hoc agent assignment says only the WF initiators can choose the ad hoc agent while starting a workflow or during the flow for the WFs started by them from their outbox (for those steps that have been identified for ad hoc assignment). On the other hand the Choose Agent wizard inserts a dialog step which allows its agent (not necessarily the initiator) to choose agents for a subsequent step from the task's possible agents. Is it possible to achieve the later with ad hoc agent assignment? </DIV>

<DIV> Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can anybody confirm that the Include "Choose Agent" wizard is not available in the <SPAN class=correction id="">Workflow</SPAN> Builder in the ECC 5.0 release? I was trying to walk someone through on the phone and was told that it was not available. Ended up manually inserting the task and bindings.</DIV>
