- If you are not a member of the record queue and you click, then an error message is displayed and the assignment is not completed. However, if you have the required permissions, you can manually modify the record to take ownership of the record.
Note
The Assign to me option only updates the assignment details and saves the record. All the other changes to the form must be saved using the Save button on the form.
For example, if you have updated the values of the Status or Description fields on the form and then you click, only the assignment is completed and saved. The changes to the Status or Description fields will only be saved after you click the Save button.
