Delegation Distributions
You can use a delegation distribution to send tasks to a delegator who can then forward the tasks to the appropriate assessor/evaluator. The use case for this might be setting up a distribution at the beginning of the year and not knowing exactly which preceptors will be working in a specific environment. You can send the distribution to a staff member who can forward the tasks once a clinic schedule is set or send the distribution to a user who is actually the target of the task and can then delegate the task to the appropriate assessor/evaluator.
Add New Distribution
Navigate to Admin > Assessment and Evaluation.
Click 'Distributions' above the Assessment and Evaluation heading.
Click 'Add New Distribution'.

Distribution Description: Description is optional.
Task Type: Hover over the question mark for more detail about how Elentra qualifies assessments versus evaluations. If a distribution is to assess learners, it's an assessment. If it is to evaluate courses, faculty, learning events, etc. it is an evaluation. Notice that the language on Step 4 will change if you switch your task type.
Disable Target Release: This will only display for Evaluations. If you do not want evaluators to be able to release the form to the target upon completion, check this box. If left unchecked, evaluators will be able to release the form to the target upon completion.
Assessment/Evaluation Mandatory: This will be checked off be default.
Disable Initial Task Email: This option will not be enforced on Delegation Distributions so should be ignored.
