Reviewing New Records

Review new records and then resolve the tasks by taking an action. If you cannot resolve the tasks, disclaim the tasks to return the tasks to the pool of available tasks. Or, if you know another user who can resolve the tasks, reassign the tasks to that user.

Before you begin, claim the tasks that you want to work on.

When you review tasks for new records, all field values in the new record need to be validated.

Click

Task Manager

The task panel contains a list of tasks.

Click

My Assigned Tasks

The task panel lists your assigned tasks.

Optionally, to find tasks to manage, use custom filters or search.

Click the

Filters

icon, and then add filters.

In the search box, enter a search term, and then click the search icon.

For more information, see Finding Tasks.

Select a task and determine if the values in the record meet your business requirements.

Repeat step 4 for each new record that you want to review.

Select the check box beside the tasks for which you want to take an action.

For example, you select the check box beside the tasks for new records that you want to approve.

The

Selected

list appears.

From the

Selected

list, click

More Actions...

The

More Actions...

dialog box appears.

To resolve the tasks, select one of the following actions:

Only the potential task actions shared by all the tasks appear. For more information, see Potential Task Actions.

Option	Description
Approve	If you think the records are acceptable, and the task types permits you to approve it, click Approve . The ActiveVOS Server marks the related Final Review people activity as completed and performs the next activity in the process.
Escalate	If you think the records are acceptable, but the task types do not permit approval at this point in the workflow, click Escalate . The ActiveVOS Server marks the related Review No Approve people activity as completed and performs the next activity in the process.
Reject	If you disagree with the one or more values in the records, click Reject and type an explanation in the Comment box. The ActiveVOS Server notifies the person who added the record. If a source system updates the rejected record, the record goes through the approval process again.
`<Other>`	If you see other options, then your organization uses a custom business process. If the purpose of the option is not clear and your role permits access to the ActiveVOS console, you can open the process to understand the workflow. Otherwise, contact your MDM administrator.

The tasks are closed.

To change the ownership of the tasks without resolving the tasks, select one of the following actions:
