Quick Approval does not lock the task. |
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. The designer has setup the Quick Approval feature for this step in the workflow and assigned the role of manager to it. When a manager clicks the Quick View icon, the Manager step displays as shown:
You will see the following on the Quick Approval Screen:

In many real world workflows such as a loan or job application, the first one or more steps are often performed by people that do not have a user account in the tenantfrevvo tenant. You can send the workflow back to this person by selecting Assign to: an email address. All signatures in workflow steps along the way will be removed - the user will have to sign again. You cannot reset a task to a Summary Step.
...
The tenant/workflow admin clicks the icon. To move this saved form to a different user's task list, enter the user id of the the person you want to assign it to by checking the user choice radio button in the Assign to: control. 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 workflow admin, Jerry has reassigned the task to the username jill.
...
Now when Sally next logs into her account frevvo account she'll no longer see this saved form on her task list. When the user jill logs into she frevvo she will see Sally's saved form on her task list and can perform, complete and submit the form.
...
The tenant/workflow admin can also move a saved form or any saved or pending workflow to one or more roles. In the example above imagine that the user jill is also unavailable. The tenant/workflow admin can again search for the loan application form saved by Sally and click modify but this time check the one or more roles radio button then select a role from the Assign to a different role dropdown. Click the plus icon to select multiple roles.
The saved form will appear on the task list of all users that have that role(s).

Workflows only appear in your search results if you performed one or more steps in the workflow. Workflows will NOT appear in your search results just because it was at one point in time on your task list but was performed by a user other than you. For example if a workflow is on your task list because you have the role (ex: Managers) to which a particular workflow step is assigned, but this step is performed by another user with that role, then this task will not appear in your search list.
