If an administrator has designated another user as an Alternate Actor for your work items, you can activate the automatic reassignment of your work items to this other user. Once you have enabled the Alternate Actor function, all incoming work items are re-routed from your inbox to the inbox of the assigned Alternate Actor. The Alternate Actor page contains the following options, text boxes, and buttons:
| Option | Function |
|---|---|
| Set Alternate Participant | Select this checkbox to enable the Alternate Actor feature, so that your work items will be forwarded to the specified actor. |
| Alternate Actor | The actor who will receive your forwarded work items. Select If multiple actors have been made available to you as Alternate Actors, clicking Select allows you to change the designated Alternate Actor. |
| Clear | Clicking Clear removes the current designated actor from the Alternate Actor box. |
| OK | Clicking OK saves the settings on the Alternate Actor page. |
| Cancel | Clicking Cancel discards any changes you have made and returns you to the last accessed mailbox page. |
