I have attached a screenshot of the model that is launched. The &amp;quot;design task info&amp;quot; is the form that displays the confirmation. I have put in a timer and an initial report check to make sure users don&amp;#39;t spam the button. I hope the attached offers more insight, but please ask me anything else if needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/5826.process-model.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="/cfs-filesystemfile/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/11/5826.process-model.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm fairly new to Appian so please excuse me if there is an o</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/32685?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jun 2016 14:16:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:3231ebf0-d1e5-4fc8-9172-452f8c9d2f05</guid><dc:creator>sikhivahans</dc:creator><description>@michaelg Hi, I would like to suggest you add some more information re as to how you have build the Task Assignment functionality? Also would you be able to add some more details about the confirmation(Is is a default notification or not?)?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm fairly new to Appian so please excuse me if there is an o</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/32684?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jun 2016 14:03:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:025478f2-2a8d-4483-b45d-456f5690a127</guid><dc:creator>GouthamKrishna</dc:creator><description>Hello, how do users allocate themselves a task ? Where is that button available ? In a form of your process model ? Who does get this form initially ? All those 20 users ? If so, how about assigning this task to all users individually (by enabling &amp;#39;one-to-one assignment&amp;#39; in Assignment tab) ? In this way each one of them will get a separate task for them to click on that button independently, does this solve your problem ? If not, please try to elaborate more on this use-case...&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
