## Which IIQ version are you inquiring about?

IIQ 8.3p3

we are using the predelegation rule in target certification. the rule is getting called and it tried to do bulkreassign but predelegation didnt occur.  
then we removed all the logics and simply called this bulkReassign API. also used the simple returnMAP. both doesnt work.

same code was working with manager certification.

suspecting if the predelegation rule is supported with target certification? but we can select it in the configuration.

anyone faced the similar issue?

Thanks,  
Manick

I think the behavior of Pre delegation rule can differ between certification types. Also the predelegation rules for Target Certifications do not support reassignment logic. While you can configure the rule in the certification, any attempt to handle reassignments (such as bulk reassignment) may be ignored in Target Certifications.

Have you tried using a Certifier type rule for this?

hi, thanks for reply. yeah it could be the reason. but if this is the case, why the predelegation handle is given in target configuration in UI. I hope there should be an purpose for it. but it is not clear in the documentation.

Yeah we are thinking to make use of certifier rule. but in our case, some reviewers(ent owner) are some workgroup, on such cases, we want this to assign to workgroup owner, and want to distinguish if this was (re)assigned from workgroup to individual user.
