We released a new Fiori application "My Inbox" with Fiori Wave 7. My Inbox is a single go to Inbox for dealing with SAP and non-SAP workflows in an enterprise. It follows Fiori design language for user experience.
With My Inbox you can,
1. Make decisions using mobile or desktop devices anywhere and anytime.
2. You can process your standard and custom workflow tasks from multiple sources.
3. You can collaborate by in a mini forum for each task, share documents through tasks,share tasks by email, JAM and by explicit forwarding.
4. You can execute tasks en masse.
My Inbox is the successor of the Fiori Approve Requests application and Unified Inbox , thus it is recommended to implement My Inbox for managing your tasks. If you have already installed Approve Requests or Unified Inbox, you might consider switching to My Inbox.
Now let's take a closer look at My Inbox features.

If you do not assign a task group then the substitute would process all the work items.If the user wants he could also delete a substitute.
