To Skip a Task

You can skip a task that has been assigned to you, providing that you have not yet started work on the task. Skipping a task removes the task from your list of assigned tasks, and marks the task as unassigned.

Note that your user account must have the appropriate authority to do so.

Follow these steps to skip a task:

From the Work Exchange tile, select Inbox. This page lists all tasks assigned to you, that you have not recorded any work against.
Select the task from the list, by checking the box to the left of the task name, for example:
From the Actions menu, select Skip selected.

The Skip Task dialog appears, for example:

Tip: You can select multiple tasks by selecting more than one check box from the tasks in the list.
Enter a reason for skipping the task in the box provided, and then click Skip task.

The task is removed from your inbox, and appears in the list of tasks in your Work Exchange - Skipped folder. The task is also marked as unassigned.
