# Reassign workflow tasks

As a Data Entry Workflow manager, you can reassign an existing data entry workflow task to another user.

For example, a data entry workflow task is created and assigned to a user. However, due to illness this user is unavailable to do the task. To get the task done, you can reassign the task to another user.

### Steps

1. Click **Data entry workflow management**.
2. Click the **In progress workflows** tab.
3. In the list, click the link of the desired workflow.
4. Expand the **Assignments** section.
5. In the list, find and select the desired workflow task assignment.
6. Click **Reassign**.
7. On the dialog, in the **User** field, enter or select a value.
8. In the **Comment** field, type a value.
9. Click **Reassign**.
10. Close the page.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> - You can reassign a task only to another user than the ones to whom the task is already assigned.
> - Make sure, a reassigned-to user has at least the Data Entry Workflow user role with related rights.
