Suppose you are out of the office and would like to hand over your Asset Workflow duties to another user. In that case, you can set up an Out of Office alert, and your responsibilities will be assigned to another user when you are unavailable.
How does this work
When you're out of the office, you can hand over your Asset Workflow responsibilities to another user in your Bynder portal. You can set your absence's start and end date and assign your Asset Workflow responsibilities to a backup user. The backup user keeps track of your jobs and ensures no critical deadlines are missed so that you can be out of the office without worrying about the continuity of your projects.
During your time off, the backup user will have access to your active jobs and receive notifications when you become stage responsible or tagged in a task and (private) comment. By default, Workflow notifications will only be sent to the backup user when you're out of the office. You'll be able to choose to receive them as well. You can cancel your out-of-office at any given time. Once canceled, the backup user will no longer receive notifications and won't have access to your jobs unless the backup user actively starts participating in one of your jobs.
A red indicator will be placed over users' profile images out of the office. This way, other users can easily see somebody is out of the office. Hover over the profile image to find out when the user will be back and who the backup user is.
