# Delegate your workflow task assignments

As a Data Entry Workflow user, you can delegate your data entry workflow task assignments to another user.

For example, you can schedule the delegation of your workflow task assignments during planned time off, such as vacations or personal leave.

### Steps

1. Go to **Data entry workflow** > **Design** > **Delegation** > **My workflow assignment delegation**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Select the desired scope of the delegation:
  - **All**: The delegation applies to all data entry workflow templates.
  - **Category**: The delegation applies only to the data entry workflow templates with a specific category. In the **Name** field select the desired category.
  - **Workflow**: The delegation applies only to a specific data entry workflow template. In the **Name** field select the desired data entry workflow template.

In the **Scope** field, select an option.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> In the delegation setup, an overlap can exist. In this case, the priority sequence to search for the applicable delegation is from specific to generic: **Workflow** > **Category** > **All**.
4. If the scope is:

In the **Name** field, enter or select a value.
  - All, this field is not applicable.
  - Category, select the desired category.
  - Workflow, select the desired data entry workflow template.
5. Define the user to which the assignment is delegated.

In the **Delegate** field, enter or select a value.
6. Define the start date and time of the delegation period.

In the **Start date/time** field, enter a date and time.
7. Define the end date and time of the delegation period.

In the **End date/time** field, enter a date and time.
8. Close the page.

> [!NOTE]
> **Notes**
> 
> - To make a created or edited assignment delegation applicable, the **Data entry workflow** manager must enable it. Therefore, notify the manager that you have created or edited an assignment delegation.
> - Make sure, a delegated-to user has at least the **Data entry workflow** user role with related rights.
> - You can use the **My workflow assignment delegations** page also to view assignments that are delegated from other users to you.
