Note: You are able to add comments to all of the above choices. The presence of a note is indicated by a red triangle in the top right hand corner of the relevant cell.
Select employee
Click on Select employee, and make your selection from the employees listed. The step can now be completed as above.
Non milestone tasks
Sometimes a workflow is designed with tasks which are "non-milestones". This means that the column for this task may not be immediately visible.
If the workflow is waiting for a non-milestone task to be completed, click on the line, and any pending tasks will be displayed in a pop up box. You can then proceed by right clicking as above.
An alternative way to see all non-milestones, is to right click and select Show Non Milestones.
