Can I delete a task in DocRead?<\/h1>\n

This post will help if you want to force a specific user or group of users to re-read a specific document that has been assigned via DocRead. To achieve this, you can simply delete the existing task associated with that user or group. DocRead will automatically regenerate a new task and re-issue a new notification to that user.<\/p>\n

DocRead allows you to delete the following combination of tasks :1) Selected task only.2) All tasks assigned to all users for the selected document.3) All tasks assigned to user for the selected document.To delete a task, go to the ‘Site Tasks’ screen and select the task by clicking on it.<\/p>\n

Once it’s selected, click the trash can at the bottom left of the screen. <\/p>\n

Please note:<\/strong> If the group (that is assigned as a ‘Required’ or ‘Recommended’ audience) is still set against the document then DocRead will recreate<\/strong> new assigned tasks on its next processing run. If you don’t want a particular user (or set of users) to receive reading tasks you must remove them from the SharePoint group, or amend the Audience Rule if you are using SharePoint Audiences.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want anyone to receive new tasks, completely remove the ‘Required’ or ‘Recommended’ audience from the document. Remember to check-in the document, publish and approve (if you use workflow).<\/p>\n

This post<\/a> will help with removing audiences.<\/p>\n

If you want the entire audience to re-read the policy or document, then Reset Tasks<\/a> is a better option.<\/p>\n
