Task redirection enables the user to redirect tasks to another user or organizational object. This function is useful for situations such as annual leave. The user can specify the dates where the redirection start and ends. Task redirection must be set up to start at a future date, running either indefinitely or for a limited period. While the redirection period is active, no new tasks are assigned to the user. Instead, the tasks are assigned to the selected user or organization object. Any tasks in the user's My Open Tasks list remain in their My Open Tasks list.
Once a redirection period is active, all tasks currently assigned to the user may be removed from the user's inbox, and added to the assigned tasks list of the user or organizational object specified in the task redirection. This is done in a batch job named ScanActiveTaskRedirections.
The user may also view a list of active, pending and expired redirections on the task redirection page. Active or pending task redirections may be removed by the user at any time.
