The design of the task delegation policy

The delegation policy feature is designed to enable organisations to define policies and rules to control how task delegation can be created in the source workflow system. 

Each task delegation policy contains a set of rules specifying the conditions must be met by a task delegation request. A policy can be defined for all users or for selected users. OneList supports a rich list of delegation rules to be defined.

When a delegation request is received, OneList evaluates all the applicable policies against the request and rejects the request if it violates any of the rules. Only the valid delegation requests are accepted and synchronised with the source systems.
