How to Edit the Department, Author Group, or Author for a Task

All users => This article explains how to edit the task data.

Updated over 2 months ago

Each task that is dictated and uploaded is associated with a specific author, author group, document type, department, and organisation.

This task data originates from the default settings or the settings selected by the author at the time of dictation. It's always applied whether the user is dictating with the app, a landline, a speechmic recorder, or web upload.

Occasionally an incorrect setting may have been selected by the author, for example, the wrong author group - if they have moved department and not informed us, if an incorrect PIN is used with the landline system or (rarely) if authors share accounts.

When this occurs the task's workflow may need to be corrected, so that it reaches the correct typist and so that the correct author can approve it.
