Tasks display in a small area on the left side of the screen.

Let's consider a Leave Approval workflow with two activities: the first step is a form which collects the pertinent information about the Leave request - employee name, starting date and duration of leave, etc. This step is filled out by any employee requesting a leave. The second step is a form that has a section named Manager Approval with a text area control for comments.

Modify a Task

Tenant/flow admins and designer users have special modify permissions. They can:

The tenant/flow admin clicks the Image Removed icon Image Addedicon to move this saved form to a different user's task list by selecting a user entering the user id of the the person you want to assign it to from the "Assign to a different user" dropdown, putting a message in Reason input and clicking . Type a username in that field and all users beginning with the letter you have entered appear as dropdown choices. Enter the reason for the reassignment in the Reason field and click submit. In the image below the flow admin, Jerry has selected the username 'm1'.

...

The tenant/flow admin can also move a saved form or any saved or pending flow to one or more roles. In the example above imagine that the user 'm1' is also unavailable. The tenant/flow admin can again search for the loan application form saved by Sally and again click modify but this time select a role from the "Assign to a different role" dropdown. Click the  plus icon to select multiple roles. Now the saved form will appear on the task list of all users that have that role(s).
