> #### 4.5.11 Reassign the activity to someone else

> Reassignment allows activities to be assigned to a different set of people than those originally specified through the Role and/or Role Script. Reassignment acts on the activity, not on the work item.

> Note Voting Activities cannot be reassigned.

> Reassigning a work item causes Interstage BPM to delete all active and inactive work items associated with the activity. Then Interstage BPM creates new, active work items for the people specified in the reassignment.

> Interstage BPM can operate in three different reassignment modes: Regular Mode, Process Instance-Owner-Only Mode or No-Reassignment Mode. These are initialized in the ibpm.properties file, by setting the tag "ServerReassignMode" to "regular", "owner" or "none". In Regular Mode, activity assignees or process instance owners can reassign the activity to a new set of users. In Process Instance-Owner-Only Mode, only the process instance owner can reassign an activity to one or more other people. In No-Reassignment Mode, reassignment is restricted as indicated by the name of the mode.

> ###### To reassign an activity to someone else

> 1. Select the work item.

> 2. Click the Reassign button to invoke the Reassignment dialog.

> Figure 30: Reassignment Selection Dialog

> 3. In the Reassignment dialog, select the Role that contains the users to whom you want to reassign the activity.

> 4. Use the Add and Remove buttons to move users in and out of the Reassign box.

> 5. Click Reassign when done or Cancel to cancel your reassignment.

> The figure displays the reassignment of the work item to twfserver.

> Currently, activities must be reassigned to individuals, not to Roles defined in the Directory Service. In addition, Interstage BPM does not verify that the people specified in the reassignment are valid Interstage BPM users.
