This article provides information about named user plan review assignments and how reassignments are handled.
In this article:
What is a Group assignment?
Because every assignment must be associated to a Group, all assignments are considered Group assignments.
What is a named user assignment?
A named user assignment (aka: personal assignment) is an assignment that has been given to a specific user to complete.
With a named user assignment, expectations are that the named user is the person who is ultimately responsible to change the assignment's Status.
Who can change an Assignment Status?
While other users may conduct plan review on an assignment, only users who belong to the assignment's Group may change the assignment's Status.
What happens when an assignment cannot be completed by the named user?
Option 1:
Give the assignment to a different user.
Why? Because comments, sketches, stamps, measurements, etc. that were created by the named user are typically protected from unauthorized changes by other reviewers. This assumes that reviewers may not edit markups made by other reviewers.
Option 2:
Have a user with the proper permissions, (ie: Group Manager), complete the plan review. Group Managers typically have permissions to modify markups made by reviewers in their Group.
