The functionality to bulk re-assign items from one user to another enables the quick transfer of tasks and responsibilities when a user moves locations, changes role or leaves the organisation.
The following items can be reassigned in bulk using this feature:
- End Dated Users
- Line Manager
- Event Workflow
- Compliance Workflow
- Actions
- Documents
- Risk Categories
- Scheduled Tasks
- Audits
End Dated Users
Users that have an end date set (and are therefore expired and unable to access the system) but still have items assigned to their user profile should have these items reassigned to other users.
From your Admin menu, under the Bulk Assignment header select End Dated Users
The list of users with an end date and any assigned items are listed.
Click on the assigned items to assign to other users (see further details below).
If this End dated users list is blank, you do not have any end dated users in the system with outstanding items still assigned.

Select each user by clicking the selection box.
In the top drop down, select the new line manager and click the Assign to X selected users button.
