Claim a task from a resource pool

You can claim a schedule task from a resource pool inbox and move it to your personal inbox under the following conditions:

The resource pool is a schedule member.
You are a member of the resource pool and have subscribed to it. (See Getting Started With Workflow for more on subscribing to a resource pool.)
The task is assigned to any member of a resource pool. If the task is assigned to all members, you cannot claim it.

Note: If the task is assigned to all members, it does not appear in the resource pool inbox because it cannot be claimed.
If the schedule task is attached to a workflow process, claiming the task has no effect on workflow assignments.

Procedure

Click the My Worklist link, open the resource pool inbox, and then open the Schedule Tasks folder under it.
Select the task you want to claim, and then choose Actions→Claim Task.
In the Claim Task dialog box, click Yes.
In the confirmation dialog box, click OK.

The task is moved from the resource pool inbox to your user inbox, and you are assigned the task.
