issues with delegating tasks.

[schemr]

hi,
when i receive a task from a Project Manager, i delegate that particular
task to one of my team members( i am a team leader). when i delegate the task
and select that i will be the lead role, 1st it needs to be approved my the
PM so the resource i allocated the task to can enter actuals. the other
problem is that when the resource updates the task information I dont get any
update back also in his/her PWA it says that one task update has been sent to
ME for approval. any1 have any idea how i can get around gettin approval from
the PM after the task has been delegated and why i cant see the task update
once actuals have been entered in PWA by the resource? please help

1. The PM must approve the delegation request. To process task delegation
requests quickly, the PM could create a Rule in PWA to do so automatically.
The PM must still run the Rule by clicking the Run Rules Now button.

2. Updates from the team member appear only on your View My Tasks page.
With a delegated task, you do not have any way that you can either approve
or reject the task update. Your only option is to view the update and then
send it to the PM by clicking the Update Selected Tasks or Update All
button. If you do not do this, you will become a "bottle neck" in the
Project Server collaboration system, so be prudent and timely with this
process.

Hope this helps.
