<DIV><SPAN class=078102412-30032009><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Sorry about that.
I know it's says EDU but I'm a bit (no a lot frustrated) that I spend hours
digging for information and that others don't seem to. I use the WUG as a last
resort because I know everyone is busy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

nutshell, substitution rules let's the manager decide who will take over their
workflows while they are away. They can also decide that "important" workflows
just as those related to disciplinary actions are NOT to be delegated
but others like Timesheet approval are.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<P>· You can assign another user to manage your tasks in case of absence or
unavailability. </P>
<P>· You can designate an assignee to receive your tasks or you can set an
assignee to fill in for you. </P>
<P>· You can create several substitution rules to cover all cases. </P>
<P>· You can also take over other user<SPAN class=078102412-30032009>'</SPAN>s
tasks (if assigned by the user).</P>
<P>The assignee can then view and manage the task substitution rules.</P>
<P>Substitution is supported with some restrictions within the Collaboration
rooms. For more information, see the section below, <B><I>Substitution Within
Collaboration Rooms</B></I>.</P>
<P>Tasks an Assignee Can Perform</P>
<P>An assignee taking over as a substitute is a portal user who is allowed to
manage and work on the work item of a user in his / her absence.</P>
<P>The assignee can:</P>
<P>· Receive and work on your work items</P>
<P>· Monitor all incoming tasks (without acting on all of them)</P>
<P>· Work on more than one of your items </P>
<H4>Prerequisite</H4>
<H4>Portal user mapping must be unambiguous. A back end user must have only one
portal user mapped to it, not multiple.</H4>
<H4>Creating Substitution Rules</H4>
<P>...</P>
<P>1. Click on the <SPAN class=078102412-30032009>Options
</SPAN>icon and choose Manage Substitution Rules. </P>
<P>2. On the My Substitution Rules table choose Create Rule.</P>
<P>Step 1: Define Rule</P>
<P>You can define which tasks you want to assign to an assignee. You can either
make the assignee receive your tasks (for example, when you go on vacation), or
you can allow the assignee to fill in for you (for example, in case of your
absence).</P>
<P>a. Choose or enter the assignee from the people picker option. Choose
Pick.</P>
<P>b. Select what types of tasks you want to assign this user. </P>
<P>Default: All (The assignee substitutes for all tasks).</P>
<P>c. The assignee can receive your tasks or fill in for you. </P>
<P><SPAN class=078102412-30032009> </SPAN>i. To send the work
items on the assignee<SPAN class=078102412-30032009>'</SPAN>s list, select
Receive my tasks.</P>
<P><SPAN class=078102412-30032009> </SPAN>ii. To add a user as
a substitute for your tasks in your absence, select fill in for me. This
requires one more step from the assignees to make the items visible in his / her
tasks list.</P>
<P>Assignee must click Take Over (on the Other Users' Substitution Rules table)
to display the work items in the task list.</P>
<P>d. Choose Next.</P>
<P>Step 2: Set Rule Activation</P>
<P>This step provides an option of turning on or off the rule.</P>
<P>e. To enable the rule select on. More options available to turn the rule on
immediately (upon save) or at a later time (choose date from the calendar).</P>
<P>f. Choose Save.</P>
<P>3. Items now appear in the assignee<SPAN class=078102412-30032009>'</SPAN>s
task list.</P></SPAN></DIV>
