Change responsible before archiving or deleting a user
If you want to archive or delete a user who is responsible for a document, you will be given a choice to change the responsibility when archiving / deleting. In this case, all the documents are transferred to the same user. If you want to choose who will be responsible, use the "Change responsible" functionality.
Example:
An employee with responsibility for documents (author, verifier, approver) will leave the company and shall therefore be archived. The document responsibility must be distributed to several people.
- Search documents where the user is author
- Select documents you want to change author. "Change responsiblity" for the selected documents.
- Do the same for documents where the user is verifier or apporver. Include status "in verification" and "in approval"
Then archive the user. If you now get an option to substitute responsible, this is for documents you have not already replaced.
