Delegate Routing
If there are documents in your Action List for which you are a secondary delegate, there will be a drop-down menu in the upper right corner of your screen:
Click on the drop-down arrow in order to display a list of names for whom you set up as a delegate. The Action List will then display just those particular documents for which you are a delegate. If you do not see the drop-down menu in your Action List, this means that there are no documents awaiting your attention for which you are a secondary delegate.

- Select what information you wish to see for each document on the Action List
