 +The aim of delegations is to transfer approval tasks to another solver. We divide delegations into **automatic** and **manual**.
  
 ===== Automatic delegation ===== ===== Automatic delegation =====
 +In automatic delegations, a rule is first created according to which tasks are automatically delegated. A typical example is **the user's departure on holiday**.
 +
 +In this case, the user creates a delegation, where he selects the validity of the delegation and the delegate (the user to whom the tasks will be moved).
 +From the moment the created delegation is valid, tasks will be delegated to the delegate.
 +
 +{{ :devel:documentation:adm:new-delegation.png?600 |}}
 +
 +==== Delegations on the user detail ====
 +
 +A new delegation tab has been added to the user detail. Here the user can create a new delegation and above all he sees an overview of all his delegations and also the delegations that delegate to him.

 +
 +<note important>All types of delegations are displayed here, including manually delegated tasks.</note>
 +
 +==== List of delegated tasks ====
 +
 +In the detail of the delegation it is possible to see all tasks that have been delegated within the given delegation. Ie. as a user you have an overview of how many tasks have been delegated and in what state they are now.
 +
 +The state can take the following states:
 +  * **In progress** - The task was delegated and isn't completed yet.
 +  * **Executed** - The task was delegated and completed.
 +  * **Canceled** - The task was delegated and canceled (workflow was deleted).
 +
 +{{ :devel:documentation:adm:delegation-instances.png?800 |}}
 +
 +
 +==== Delegation type ====
 +
 +The type of delegation we chose when creating the rule determines which tasks will be delegated.
 +
 +**In the product are by default three delegation types:**
 +  * **Default delegation for all tasks** - It will be used for all tasks for which no other delegation is defined (with a more specific type).
 +  * **Tasks approving role assignments by a manager** - This type is used exclusively for tasks that are created as part of a role assignment approval workflow (**approve-role-by-manager**). This type is unique due to the definition of the delegate not only by the user but also by his contract. Thanks to this, we are able to create delegations for each delegator's contract. This will ensure that the resulting delegate will be selected on the basis of the delegator's contract (where the applicant's contract will be subordinate to the delegator's contract).
 +  * **Manual task delegation** - It is created automatically on using the delegate operation over the agenda of assigned tasks. **This type cannot be selected manually by user.**
 +
 +The relation between a specific type of delegation and a workflow process is realized by modifying the definition of workflow, where it is possible to add code of the type of delegation, according to which we want the tasks of the process to be delegated. If the workflow process does not contain any delegation type or there is no delegation definition for it, then delegations are searched for the default delegation type (**Default delegation for all tasks**).
 +
 +
 +For example workflow process **approve-role-by-manager** contains this delegation type:
 +<code xml>
 +    <dataObject id="delegationType" name="delegationType" itemSubjectRef="xsd:string">
 +      <extensionElements>
 +        <activiti:value>approve-role-by-manager-delegation-type</activiti:value>
 +      </extensionElements>
 +    </dataObject>
 +</code>
 +
 +<note tip>The default delegation type delegates all **approval tasks**.</note>
  
 ===== Manual delegation ===== ===== Manual delegation =====

 +===== Limitations =====
 +
 +<note important>By default (in standard process for **change permissions**), the rule is that if the logged-in user is the implementer of the request (the one who submitted it) and at the same time is one of approvers, then this task is **skipped** (approval is assumed). However, **this rule does not apply in the case of delegation** (ie if the delegate is both the approver and the implementer, the task will be created and assigned).
 +</note>
 +
 +<note important>If one approval task is delegated more than once, or for more approvers, then **only the last delegation's business card** is displayed in the task detail.</note>
