> ### 4.5 Using a Work Item

> NOTE: Any user in the group can directly make a choice (act) on a group-level work item. However before performing any other operation like suspending, UDA updating, reassigning, etc., the user must become an assignee by accepting the group-level work item.

> When an Activity Node becomes active, Interstage BPM creates active work items for every member of the Role (unless the selection is modified by a Role Script). After you are notified of an assignment, you may respond to it. Later, you can indicate in Interstage BPM that you have completed it, and the action is recorded in Interstage BPM's process instance history. Interstage BPM then advances the process instance to the next activity. When you receive a work assignment, you can:

> - View an activity description. (See "View an activity description")
> - Tooltips. (See "Tooltips")
> - Accept or reject the activity. (See "Accept or decline an activity")
> - Record Activity Time. (See "Recording Activity Time (for Interstage Business Process Manager Analytics Users)")
> - View the status of all timers associated with the work item. (See "Viewing the status of timers")
> - Use forms. (See "Working with forms")
> - Respond to an activity. (See "Responding to an activity")
> - Reassign the activity to someone else. (See "Reassign the activity to someone else")
> - Using attachments in a process instance. (see Working with attachments).

> Each of these items is described in more detail in this section.
