Claim or release a task
When a specific person must complete an SAP business task, the task author assigns the task directly to that person.
However, some tasks can be completed by any one of several different people. In this case, the task author might assign the task to a group of people. The unassigned task appears in each Task Decision Makers' task list. Group members can also complete the task without claiming it.
When you claim a task, Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP assigns the task to you, and removes it from the task lists of other Task Decision makers in your group. Once you claim a task, no one else can claim or decide the task until you release it.
What do you want to do?
Claim a task from Outlook
When someone assigns a task to a group of which you are a member, Duet sends an e-mail task notification to each Task Decision Maker in Outlook. When you receive a task notification in Outlook, you can then open and claim the task.
To claim a task from Outlook:
