With this activity, you assign the next workflow task to specific substitution rules, users, roles, and variables. This opens a dialog offering you four options for the assignment in a dropdown list. You can:
assign a task to a substitution rule,
assign a task to individual users directly,
use roles to assign a task to all users that hold the role,
assign a task to a variable.
If you select Variable, all variables with a username of type "User," "Role," or "Substitution rule" of your DocuWare organization are displayed.
If Task/Parallel Task is defined as the first activity without one or more persons first being assigned with the Assign to activity, the task is assigned to the user who triggered the workflow or workflow instance—for example, by storing a document.
