       • To skip the task, choose I'm not the correct assignee, and I don't know who is responsible for this renewal.

       Click OK to proceed.

     • If your IT administrator only allows you to skip the task, click OK in the confirmation window to skip the task.

     • If your IT administrator only allows you to reassign the task, specify the new assignee and click OK.
