Managing Backup Assignments
You can backup the Assignee and Approver roles only when the primary user is a named user, not a team or group:
-
Assignee: For basic tasks (not automated tasks)
-
Approver: For both basic and automated tasks
Note:
Administrators cannot backup owner assignment on templates, schedules, and tasks.
To assign or change a backup for a task:
- From the Calendar, Gantt, or Task List view, double click the task that you want to assign or change a backup.
- Select the Workflow tab and select both an Assignee and Backup person.
- Click Save and Close.
